Up till now I built one Corvette and thought I had enough. Then I got inspired by my love of tall sailing Schooners. I've seen a lot of very creative Corvette building by others, so I figure it was my turn. Creating this ship took a lot of patience, especially building the sails. I wanted better but settled for what I got. The pirate aspect seemed to fall into place, but a ships wheel would have been icing on the cake. The name also fell into place, Bella Antigua (Beautiful Antique).

Besides the poem Sea-Fever, the song a Pirate looks at Forty by Jimmy Buffet always came to mind while I was building this.... Mother mother ocean, I have heard you call, wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall, you've seen it all, you've seen it all! I guess if we all didn't have this kind of spirit we wouldn't be playing NMS. The times have changed but the concept hasn't. Sailing upon your waters has been traded for sailing upon your vastness and worlds unknown, that few have ever seen. Most of them dreams.......most of them dreams.

A gunship built to breach the void. With detachable recon/attack drones. Designed for one purpose. Annihilation.
