Description
This is the main starship from the "Operation Rimfire" Mekton II RPG adventure. It's internal workings include a gravity centrifuge up top, a carousel-type hangar below (with space and maintenance for ten Mektons), and an electromagnetic Mekton launch channel. The ship requires a crew of 20, masses 67,025 tons, and its engines can crank out 1.875 Gs of thrust per second per second. The Rimfire is armed with four energy cannon turrets, a complement of 600 missiles, and a network of defensive laser batteries.Not the most anime-looking starship design ever, but to be fair, I was looking at a lot of Project: A-Ko when I drew it. The space stations and such in that OVA are coooool. Anyway, this picture is copyright and everything R. Talsorian Games, no infingement, etc. Oh, and in the spirit of full disclosure: I didn't make the starfield in the background (I found it via Google Images and tweaked it).

Nice. I kind of want to design my own derivative now. XP Give it the old Scarecrow flair.

I really should have asked you to do orthographics of the Rimfire. I've tried three times to model it, and never quite get it right

This had to be my FAVORITE Mekton module that they put out.
When Mekton Zeta dropped I was SO hoping that they would do a source-book for Algol continuing with the characters and more information after the events in it...
But it never happened.

Glad you liked Rimfire! It was a real pleasure to be the mecha designer for that supplement. And as for new Algol material, hang tight... It's actually being worked on right now!

I would love to find out more but I am sure that you are under a NDA about it if you are doing artwork for it.
Can you keep me posted as to the progress and when it might be available?

Very rich and charismatic design. The pieces all click into place nicely. I can't help but feel that a lot of thought went into this as I look at it. It has a strong iconic look about it!
