Description
"The Reen-Oh Crapshoot, voted Ugliest Starship Design on both Sides of the conflict for 16 years running, the Reen-Oh Crapshoot was a single seat fighter introduced in the 68th year of the war.
Although fast and maneuverable, The Crapshoot lacked any reasonable sort of firepower. to compensate for this, the designers crafted a fake exterior texturing which resembled the :dealers" which cover the larger Reen-Oh Starships. At first, the subtrefuge worked, leading many Vay-Gas pilots to believe that they were facing a well-armed and formidable opponent. After the truth came out and was discovered that the Crapshoot was a bluff, they were routinely shot out of the sky in a maneuver called the "Cheney".
Although ugly and a sham, they changed missions from being a fighter to being a fast courier ship, where they were voted Ugliest Courier Ship for the next 47 years running until the introduction of the Vay-Gas "Groupie" Courier Ship.

Wonderful light work (try use brush to blur a little bit the stars ;-) 5+
Of course its "Corn Cob up the Ass" exterior would cause any opposing captain to contemplate its purpose.... However during the Palm Springs Wars, this ship is still considered to be a loaded weapon...
LOL, it does look like a corncob. Fun commentary as always!!
As Rblue & RubyT suggest, this speedy craft sure looks like a corn cob ! I wonder if it uses the latest "pop-corn" light drive ? or the more traditional "Steam Drive" ? Again your vivid imagination and humour shows no mercy, gwad (Dick C.) help us all ! Good one Collin & ~Cheers~
Agree with above three, looks like a porn-corn cob. The narrative continues in high fashion... +5
This reminds me a bit of that small snake with colored bands similar to a deadly coral snake. Gotta admit that's a uniquely designed ship. Cool story.
ugly ship!
excellent work
