On Wednesday the 9th of September, 2020, we launched our 5th Kickstarter campaign, Starship V – Sleipnir, Crew Miniatures and Deck Designer.
Featuring a new, vertical ship called the Sleipnir, with a hard sci-fi influence, we have also premiered a new set of highly detailed crew miniatures by Papsikels, and our Deck Designer, a software tool to help you plan out your prints and keep your hair on your head.
The Sleipnir features 11 decks, all accessed by central ladder shafts with a working lift system. It is protected by pop out point defence canons, and propelled by five fusion engines.
Designed in a universe without deflector shields, it is covered in ablative heat panels and RCS thrusters, built more like a skyscraper than a traditional sci-fi ship which is analogous to a sea-going vessel.
The decks include a bridge, crew airlock, medbay, galley, two levels of crew quarters, a cargo bay, workshop, and engineering.
The ship is crewed by a rag-tag team of human offshoots, including multiple poses for standing, sitting, moving in zero-gravity, or action poses.
We have created some exciting new add-ons for new and returning backers.
