>>7609125Theirs was a bizarre faction for sure, only got three sets and no real lore to speak of. Wonder what the real-world history was behind it, and why they transitioned so quickly to the Hydronauts/Stingrays series instead.
>>7609128That actually fits very well with what I have going too, heck I'd say your BL3 are at a period further along the timeline than mine, where they've managed to reinstate their old empire, with the new trans-neon green. I'm probably still going to have an alien or two in the marauder crew, as an exceptional alliance of convenience for raiding the secretive underwater mining faction; Blacktron proper vessels will remain "pure". I have a couple spare Brick Warriors Legion heads (from Mass Effect) that will help round out the crew, which would be in keeping with the droids and robots.
The whole post-apoc theme came about when I first tried to rebuild my old Deep Freeze Defender. There were some crucial components in use by other builds at the time (which were too pricy to replace through BL), so alterations in design were necessary. I got the idea to upgun the heck out of it, but then I needed a plausible reason for such changes. And so the concept of a devastated and chaotic space sector was born. In this version of events, Ice Planet 2002 probably underwent some of the most drastic changes, going from a peaceful satellite-launching, frozen-Blacktron-in-ice-rescuing outfit to a quasi-paramilitary branch of the Space Police, operating closely with them in keeping the various regional brushfires from flaring up into full blown conflict. I might do some slight rebuilding of the rear section,as those fore-mentioned components have since been liberated.
