Lower Decks pals just reminded me I designed the original Moopsy, which I had totally forgotten. The artists love to laugh at me for my crappy drawings. Enjoy.

The two "prongs" under the aft section on that one are connected, creating something like an excavator shape.
There's too many cool things to fit on a Bleet there; RCS thrusters properly working? Great merchantmen redesign? Awesome technique to find and attack cloaked ships? All in there and more!

Shout-out to C. T. Unterborn et al. (2023).
For all my misgivings with '09, I've always loved the Kelvin.
Do wish it was closer to Ryan Church's original concept art, but I still love what we got, and she looks better than ever here!

The TL;DR is that he doesn't feel it is worth the U$80, and that he wasn't excepting a mention of you in that famous Brazilian youtuber's video.

As in, you never know which cake they'll ask for and the baker's reality of 'if you screw up even one step, you fail miserably' very much still applies...
I genuinely don't know. Space exploration used to spark the most furious joy in me, but now when I look at it it's just this... muted acknowledgement of 'hm. Good.'?

11.07.2025 16:01 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0A human walks side-by-side with an Ormine; the Ormine are roughly one and a half meters tall pseudo-reptiles with a squat, humanoid shape. They posses a face vaguely reminiscent of a crocodile's, four webbed fingers in their hands, and a short, flat tail. A handwritten text to the left of the image reads: "Long-lived pseudo-reptiles. Extremely long lived, they usually keep a human advisor." The two individuals in the drawing seem to be having an enjoyable conversation while on a walk. An arrow pointing at the human has the caption 'Just turned 25.' A similar arrow pointing to the Ormine is captioned 'in their 250's.' The drawing is dated Tenth of July, 2025.
#Traveller Sophont of the day: the Ormine of Akhlare (Dark Nebula 1313).
Despite often being annoyed by the short-sighted, rushed and sloppy nature of humaniti, humans are value members of the Gerontocracy of Ormine.
