The Lunar War - NISO-class French Nuclear Spacecraft
Nemesis Rising
Lasers go *zap zap zap*
The first full render of it I did...
The same render, but with the ship as it is now !
All the ship's ammo displayed
Thrusting in LEO
Eevee deals pretty well with it...
Nem on the Mün !
It's hard to convey scale effectively for spaceships, but I think that helps a bit
IT SEES YOU !
Side by Side with the USSF Alan Shepard
Close-in point defense is mostly made up of 4 modified Oerlikon Millenium 35mm turrets...
Critical damage to the whipple shield, but no tank penetration, thankfully
Closeup of the VLS cluster
A ceremonial "Parade Livery", for special occasions
The Engine section is quite the intricate bunch, and thanks to L5's expertise, it's all functional !
