Tiger's Claw Upgrades Weapons & Propulsion Systems Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Lars has upgraded several systems on his developing Bengal class carrier. Various weapons emplacements have been elevated on a taller turret, which provides a more realistic look. Some physical locations were also tweaked slightly to provide better fields of fire. Finally, numerous inset thrusters have been added to strategic points in order to support the ship's maneuverability. She's looking good!
Yes the "new" Bengal is very well armed indeed.

Small thrusters to turn the ship: I had these in an older version and realy liked it as a small detail to the overall design so they found their way back into the new version.

SpaceX Dragon Docks Again Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

The SpaceX Dragon successfully linked with the International Space Station this morning. It's the second commercial resupply mission that the spacecraft has undertaken after a test docking and cargo run last May and October. The craft launched aboard a Falcon 9 rocket, which has successfully lifted off five consecutive times now. This will be the first time that the Dragon uses its unpressurized trunk section to bring additional cargo up. Hopefully such missions will soon become routine, and crewed missions will begin in just over two years. Even with such "routine" missions, and all the other science fiction imagery we post here at the CIC, it's always amazing to see real live pictures like the ones below!
