Stratios is definetly an interesting model … I think I’m going to go for that next then 
Talked it over. Re-added your link, but moved the discussion over to MyEVE category! Wish you the best on the endeavor! <3

Wow big thanks ! <3
If by any chance CCP ever want to collab, ask me I guess ahah
Thanks, will definetly check this more in detail now, just in case ahah
Well …
Work on the stratios has been started, but holy cows it’ll be a tough one !
So many weird shapes and details ahah
I’ll try to put has many of them in the model, but it’ll be very VERY fragile as a result, most probably.
Progress Pics below ~
For instance, I wasn’t able to find a proper way to do the very thin shape below the front antennas … Yet.

Alright. The V1 is done, renders incomming, here’s some Studio screenshots :
Right now it is under 600 pieces (no stand yet), so around 70 euros (without shipping) worth of parts for 30 cm long !
As a result of the original slim model, it is going to be VERY fragile.
I will most likely build it myself first to see if and where stability is an issue before posting instructions.
That being said, I’m really proud of this design !
Granted how small it is, I’m pretty happy with how many details I was able to incorporate

Stratios - Cruiser
"This was one of the first vessels the Sisters of EVE made available to capsuleers. It had been under development by the Sanctuary corporation, whose interest in exploration includes not only search & rescue operations but also a constant inquiry into the nature of the EVE Gate. Thanks to the Sisters’ efforts and the Sanctuary’s particular expertise, the Stratios is an agile, tenacious ship that aptly adheres to the mantra of both rescuers and explorers: Stay safe, stay hidden, and use every tool at your disposal.
It is particularly adept at venturing into dangerous territories, not merely in recovering whatever may be of interest but also in being able to safely bring it back. Its engines have alternate power sources that come into play should any of its cargo - for which it has plenty of room - cause serious interference with internal systems. Its weaponry runs best on renewable sources, an ideal for a ship that doesn’t know how long it’ll be in deep space. Its carapace is extremely well armored for a ship this agile, and covered in sensors capable of letting its crew track a myriad of different organic signatures. The crew itself is safely protected from any number of transmittable ailments from rescues and other unexpected passengers, thanks to special quarantine bays that are conveniently located near jettisonable openings.
And lastly, an ingenious but cryptic transfer in part of the warp core functionality to an outlying cylindrical structure means the Stratios is able to run certain higher-level cloaking functions with very little technical cost, and minimal interference from warp. The Sisters of EVE have refused to comment on this technology, other than to recommend it not be tampered with."

The Stratios is one of three ships designed by an IG Corporation for exploration, The Sisters Of Eve (SOE ). This one is at a Cruiser size and ends up being more frequently used for pirate activities than exploration due to its good speed, tanking, scanning boost and drone damage. Most importantly, it is part of the ships that can fit T2 cloaks in EVE, meaning you can warp around cloaked.
In short, you won’t see your demise coming.

## Important Info :
All BLUE parts can be replaced by any color, pick the cheapest !
After closely inspecting my design, and considering the fact I might not build it before a month, I decided to release the instructions 
If you buy them and build it, please do come and tell me what problems you encounter and I’ll update the design (including instructions) accordingly !
All my renders are available on Imgur in 4K !
Follow my Instagram for my next Builds and to see pictures of the real life results !
(I might not build all of them, but most for sure)
All feedback is more than welcome !
I’m at the start of my MOCing journey, so any and all advices/found errors/etc are more than welcome !
Thank you for looking at my creation !

Thanks 
Are you able to model each Lego part and then 3D print the part out?
Technically you could. Though the quality of the parts will be a problem for sure !
One of the great strength of Lego (and even chinese rip-offs nowadays) is the quality and precision of the pieces.
A small 0.05 cm error and everything starts to stress and eventually either breaks or you can’t complete the build.
Two options :
- if 3d printing really is your thing, I’d just 3d print (resin preferably) the model directly (I used it for scaling btw) Eve Online - Stratios Cruiser (SOE) by fattox4189 - Thingiverse
- or buy the pieces on bricklink (my rebrickable moc will give you part lists, don’t trust rebrickable’s part list)

Yeah, I know. I own a DaVinci 3D printer from XYZ Printing. Prints pretty good. If you expert parts you have to buy the best printer out there.

Well, feel free to try it out then 
I do not own any 3d files for all the various Lego parts sooo that’s going to be a tedious work for you ahah !
If you do try it out, I’m curious to know your findings

Ho do you make your Lego models. basic 3D modelling? Or do you create each piece individually and then put the pieces together?
Ideas-7 would be a great modelling program, if it wasn’t so expensive. I used Ideas-7 when I as a drafter in the engineering department at Gradall many years ago.

That would be tedious as all hell tbh
Fortunately for me, two tools already exist to design Lego MOCs !
LDD from Lego themselves, which isn’t great tbh.
And Stud.io, which is initially from fans (Lego bought the site that maintains the tool since then), it is way better from my own experience !
It does many great things for me (and other MOCers ahah) :
- Constantly updated with new molds and re-colors
- Snapping of Lego pieces
- Renderings
- Animations
- Instructions
- Stability checking of MOCs
- and many, MANY other useful things !
On a side note, I had a sleepless night, so I tried my hands on my first Frigate !
Hound renderings Soon(TM) ~~
Hound - Covert Ops Frigate
"Specifically engineered to fire torpedoes, stealth bombers represent the next generation in covert ops craft. The bombers are designed for sneak attacks on large vessels with powerful missile guidance technology enabling the torpedoes to strike faster and from a longer distance.
Developer: Boundless Creation
Boundless Creation ships are based on the Brutor tribe’s philosophy of warfare: simply fit as much firepower onto your ship as humanly possible. On the other hand, defense systems and “cheap tricks” like electronic warfare have never been a high priority."
(Source : In Game Description)
The Hound is one of the 4 infamous cloaky bombers. Many a Rorqual, Carrier and other small spaceship died to its hands.
It brings hard hitting torpedoes from a more than sufficient range while being very agile. Tank on the other hand is not its strong point.
It is also one of the best bomb launcher thanks to its racial kinetic damage !
## Stats :

| In Game Size : | 261 m |

| 24,3 x 4,6 x 6,4 studs | |
| Number of Bricks : | 114 |
| Average cost : | ~20 € |
## Important Info :
While it uses very little (and mostly cheap) parts, I advise you to try to source all of them from one or two vendors at most to limit shipping costs.
Since the in game model is so large (basically destroyer sized), I used the 1/1500 scale instead of the 1/500 for other frigates.

I need one of these to be hanging from my bedroom ceiling so it can be the very first thing I look at when I open my eyes.
