Description

The U.P. Clondyke is an Astroidminer. In early days, with the limited resources of the solar system, the Astroidbelt was a valuable resource. The huge ships attached themselfs to an astroid. With means of a strong laser the astroid was evaporated. The Plasma derived was "destilled" in a large magnetic mattercollector which seperated the valuable, highly refined metals, from the waste. The ships had a immense storage capacity and the large crewquarters gave them the capability for at least a 2 year long voyage. Enjoy Dj

Superb conceptualization and very credible execution (including the background information). My only critical comment is that the atmosphere of the planet in the backgroud is a bit too sharp, and a little distracting. I'd love to see this ship going about its business, disintegrating some asteroids. :o)

Fantastic. Moebius beat me to kudos for your concept and execution. :-). I don't have any problem with a thin misty atmosphere layer, although a thin atmosphere would make liquid water pretty much improbable. IMHO the deep green would be white - ice. Two thumbs up for this ship. Just for "what if"; I suppose the ship has a fail safe to prevent vaporizing rock covered artifact ... Another VOTE for you from me my friend.
