Star Trek Talmidon The Movie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF75nLP2Uqc

Star Trek Talmidon is my first released "movie" that is more than five minutes long.  It is in fact 24:39 minutes long, and tells the story of Fleet Captain Talmid and his crew set two years after Talmid Show 6.  While on a diplomatic mission to the planet Mavijo IV, the Talmidon III is called away to an important meeting by the fearsome Admiral Green.  Things go downward from here.

Where one voyage ends, another one always begins.

LDD: Porsche 959

Got bored, built this some time ago, I think it turned out OK enough.

The Porsche 959 is an all-wheel-drive twin-turbocharged street car that is also a rally car and for awhile was the fastest car in the world until Ferrari pooped on the party with their F40.  One of these beautiful Porsches is also on display in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

SACRILEGE.  Cars should be out in the streets, not held captive in display cases!  We must confront the United States Government and demand the creation of an Automotive Rights Movement!

Well, it is a fine art.

Talmid Show 4

I have been neglecting this blog as an actual Fleet Captain's (B)log, so after an extensive cleanup of non-Star Fleet related logs (except for Corvettes, but Talmid likes Corvettes) please don't rub it in my face.  Oh wait, you can't!  No comments allowed, mwahahahaha!

Here is Talmid Show 4, a few months late.  Yeah, no voice acting.  Of course, I could make a voiced-over version because feedback has expressed want for such a thing.

Enjoy.

The Elucidator Class Supercruiser

From my original posting on the LEGO Universe Creation Lab.

....if you thought the Shenandoah was scary, then you aint seen nothing yet....

It. Has arrived.

The first of its class.

The first Superwarcruiser.

That's Super. War. Cruiser.

It's called the Elucidator.

And it'll not just blow your ship to pieces.

It'll clean up after you.

....

Eegad! Only a few hours or so after I posted that teaser for this upcoming "Supercruiser to rule them all" have I actually unveiled the whole thing! And unlike the Shendandoah, which I believed to be massive, this one isn't massive....

IT'S MAGNITUDITALLY MASSIVE!!!!!!!

All those big black thingies are Quantum Hyperphaser Batteries. And if that isn't enough to scare you, then I don't know what is. Maybe the combined firepower of EVERYTHING on this thingy?

Including, all those Transphasic Phaser Strips and Torpedo Launchers?

And those Anti-Starfighter Batteries and Phaser Banks adorning the top AND bottom of this thingy?

And the firepower of every single starfighter, bomber, and escort within those two humungous hangers?

And its orbital bombardment bomb bays?

CAN ANYTHING STOP THIS THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Short answer:
Nope.

Long answer:
Well, considering the fact it has those superpowered shields that the Shenandoah has (powered by six massive power generators within the ship), and they extend into transphasic frequencies, this Superwarcruiser is pretty much unbeatable in the terms of weapons fire hitting its shields.

If somehow its shields are bypassed, its ablative Gigawanium-fused-with-Neutronium armor will stand in the way of those deadly energy and projectile weapons. That armor and the entire structural integrity of this starship are both very rigid and durable thanks to basic construction techniques, lessening the effects of say shockwaves from a supernova. Also in the armor department is a 'new' technology called "Regenerative Armor", first used by Not-The-Borg during the Crystalien Conflict and being used once again, albeit refined, tested, and made much better. Essentially, it rebuilds a layer of armor over the hull of the starship that will protect the actual hull from most effects of weapons fire. The armor can only regenerate when the ship is in repair mode.

The Elucidator Class is also equipped with a high frequency jammer, that when turned on can block all and any transmissions to the starship.  These can be transmissions containing surrender messages, or even viruses.  And if any viruses find their way onto the starship, they not only have to bypass a complex firewall, but also deal with the latest in Star Fleet antivirus software.  Information collected from infected starships' black boxes at the point of infection has allowed Alliance engineers and technicians to piece together a virus definition for the ABC (Minotaur Space Imperium virus software) to last until at least the 6.0 series.  I wont say much more on this, except that we have our contacts.

So that's it for defenses and weapons power.  Scared yet?  No?  I'm surprised.

Some background information on the Elucidator.  Blueprints of massive, diamond shaped machines of war have always been on the desks of our engineers.  The first of these from even before the Alliance was formed is the PCS St. George, the largest starship EVER.  I would compare this latest machine with it, but I fear for my graphics card.

In Star Fleet, the Ticonderoga Class, Confederation Class, La Nina Class, etc.  All examples of this design.  But this latest one, I think it dwarfs them all.

It's the dream I had hoped the Shenandoah would become.

To make a Federation Supercruiser.

And there is now a starship within the Federation that truly isn't just a Battleship.  It's a Supercruiser built for war.

A Superwarcruiser.

- Talmid the Conqueror

The USS Elucidator with its Shenandoah escort battleships

Quite a bittersweet feat.  This ship has made two blows across the PCG-verse.  First, it put a major blow into the Leminyo Empire when they decided to invade Federation space a few months ago.  Second, it damaged the Federation economy so much that they needed to turn to the neighboring Union of Independent Systems for pizza!  Bittersweet indeed.

Yes, we care about pizza that much.  DO NOT STEAL OUR PIZZA.

Introducing: The Fleet Captain.

EDIT: How did this get on the first page???   This was my first post!

A new blog has arrived at blogspot.  But not just any ordinary blog.  The blog of a Fleet Captain.  A Lego Fleet Captain.  Lego and Star Trek combined.  Interesting.

The Fleet Captain and Crew

Chevrolet Corvette C7 debuts in the Automotive World!

On the 13th of January at 7:00 PM EST, General Motors finally revealed the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 to the public at the Detroit Auto Show.

At first sight, it's refreshingly new, both on the exterior and the interior, and also somewhat retro.  Sharp lines depart from the smooth C5 and C6, bringing back memories of the third generation Stingray.  The headlights though, while still exposed like the C6, look too much like the new (and very ugly) Dodge Viper's headlights. And the rear, while one of the best rears ever on a car, is crowned with the fifth generation Camaro's taillights, which is sacrilege to a Corvette.

But, it's not just the overall silhouette that still maintains with previous Corvettes.

It's powered by a 6.2 Liter V8 Engine producing 450 Horsepower in the front, which is enough to say this is a Corvette.  No funny mid-engine or rear-engine dreams made their way to the official C7.  It's also a good thing that stupid Transformers dream "Stingray" didn't find a way to ruin the C7 either.

It's a true Corvette alright.

The interior has received quite a rebuild, now made of carbon fiber and soft plastics to gain favor in the eyes of spoiled kids with Lamborghinis, Porsches, and Volkswagen Beetles- I mean Bugatti Veyrons.  The dashboard is said to resemble that of a jet fighter, which makes me think of a Hummer H2 with a jet throttle shift lever.  But that's a truck, this is an American sports car.

Production is expected to begin much later this year, like around October-September-November.  But I don't know how many people will be able to wait that long to get their hands on a new, shiny, beautiful Corvette.

12/12/12

Today is Wednesday, the 12th day in the 12th month in the 12 year of the 2000s.

This is going to be the last sequential date for a long time, most likely the only sequential date we'll ever see in our lives.

It's amazing.

Awesome.

Scary.

Sad.

So, see you tomorrow.
