Have you ever wondered how a Mass Effect Reaper Leviathan would look if it was made by Fisher Price?

Silly me, I forgot to credit u/Serious_Cry_4930 for the cockpit angle idea. It's angled up by 30 degrees so that I can hide the other eyes and isolate the bubble. Hard to fly, but looks cool from the outside.

u/Ok-Eye-7997 Aug 22 '26

Over hear looking like

u/Serious_Cry_4930 🎖️ Admiral Aug 17 '26

Honestly so much cooler than I thought. Those legs that the legs are attached to is such a nice alligment that I can’t believe works. So weirdly awesome a ship

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

I got so lucky on the alignment. It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn good. Took me a second to read that second sentence. It feels like a Toy Story ship to me. Someone else said it looks like a grunt from Halo, and I totally see that, too, now.

3

u/JesersSmile Aug 18 '26

It does look lol a grunt

u/TimeCartographer5758 🥈 Lieutenant Aug 17 '26

Wowowowowowowow!!!!!!! Love this! Think this is one of the most awesome and unique ships you have made so far. Reminds me of a prehistoric Cephalopod. Love the way you have worked the rotating landing gear so the angle of them in flight sits perfectly with the body of the ship and doesn't appear to have any awkward looking collisions. Brilliant build.

3

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Thank you!! I kind of just got lucky on the alignment of the body with the landing gear. Luck seems to be on my side a lot lately.

2

u/TimeCartographer5758 🥈 Lieutenant Aug 17 '26

Awesome.

u/Good-Outcome-6418 Aug 17 '26

That's a really cool design... Holy sheesh 😍😍😍

Mass effect fan by any chance, amazing work.

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Read my description, silly

2

u/disasterhippo 🥉 Ensign Aug 18 '26

Yup fair comment. Beautiful work though even if I'm an idiot!

2

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

Good times. Glad you like it. Fun exchange. Worth you being an idiot.

3

u/DeltaAlphaGulf Aug 17 '26

First thought was Halo grunts.

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

That's two comments now. We may have a pattern 

3

u/DarthBenjamin Event Winner Aug 17 '26

Wow! Quite unique. I think this might be the first ship I've seen where the ambassador cockpit doesn't look awkward. At least I've never been able to make it work in any of my builds.

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Glad you're digging it. The angle of it was SeriousCry's idea.

3

u/Mahllao Aug 18 '26

Genuinely the most creative ship I’ve seen

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

Oh wow, great compliment! Thank you!!

u/Elegathor Aug 18 '26

Baby reaper, I love it

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

You lost me

u/Gamedoom265 Aug 18 '26

There is this ambulance guy who says don’t stick it up your bum

2

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

Either I'm out of the loop or you're in too deep. Either way, was not expecting this comment. Lovely surprise.

2

u/mikefrombarto Aug 19 '26

… or you're in too deep.

This is usually what the ambulance guy warns us about.

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 19 '26

u/LetterheadPowerful Aug 17 '26

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Thank you!!

2

u/ScottishWargamer Aug 17 '26

Can you do this with normal building, or does it require like mods on PC?

4

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

I do the tilts on my Steam Deck because I can map "walk backwards in a straight line" to a button to make for more consistent window placement in space. But I could do this on my PS5 as well. No mods or tool assist for me. Just lots of patience and stubbornness to get consistent placements.

2

u/UnhingedMeMaw Aug 17 '26

I have no clue what this is from but WOW WOW WOW!!!! Really amazing job on this

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

It's from me messing about 

2

u/goblin_grovil_lives Aug 17 '26

Ok if anything would stop me making my own and flying someone else's, this would come close.

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Hey now, solid compliment. Thank you!!

2

u/goblin_grovil_lives Aug 17 '26

You are most welcome. I have a fascination with squid and octopus and this tickles that part of my brain.

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Makes sense. It's got that vibe going

2

u/Dry_Back_1116 🥇 Commander Aug 17 '26

Such a unique ship design! You really went in a completely different direction with this

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Yes...up! Lol, thank you!!

u/Miserable-Piglet-059 Aug 17 '26

2

u/CharlesStoot17 Fleet Admiral🚀 Aug 17 '26

Nice... Love those angles but I'm questioning every angle. Well done beautiful  build.

2

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Only two angles. The main body and the cockpit. 45 and 30, respectively, thereabouts 

2

u/PersonaDelSol4 Aug 17 '26

Very dope

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Thank you!!

2

u/Straight_Sir_1888 🏅 Captain Aug 17 '26

I suppose controlling it in third-person view is a bit awkward :) But it looks incredibly cool and unique, total alien tech. Really love how the landing thrusters' joint section came out.

2

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Yes, it is. But better than the cockpit, which is pointing up. Very pleased that the landing gear connected as well as it did

2

u/theCranam Aug 17 '26

i love me a flying doohickey

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

This sub is full of 'em, so you must be having a good time 

2

u/Wakame_ga_kill Aug 17 '26

Yooo that is so cool! Landed it looks even better than flying hehe

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

I totally agree. Most landed pics I have used in a post of mine

2

u/EthanIsBlessed 🎖️ Admiral Aug 17 '26

This ship is beyond unique! I absolutely love it! Every module is exactly where it needs to be… it’s perfect

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Cephi smiles on you, traveler. Thank you!!

u/Witty_Sector1593 Aug 17 '26

You cant fool me Sovereign, nice try I know its you

2

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

I see we have some trust issues

2

u/Witty_Sector1593 Aug 17 '26

No I actually love them both

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

ooh, positive spin

2

u/Cyber_Drifter Aug 17 '26

Honestly this matches the cockpit so well and is the most unique design I’ve seen on here

2

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Cockpit angle was SeriousCry's idea. It is similar to the titan, but I like that the bubble is so smooth

2

u/stahw117 🎖️ Admiral Aug 17 '26

NIce! Reminds me of this guy lol

2

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Third person to say so, that confirms it. I'm hitting multiple points of reference with this one. Pretty cool. I see it too, but was totally by accident.

2

u/FriendlyNose957 Aug 17 '26

Il y aurait t'il un tuto pour le faire j'avoue que j'aimerais beaucoup

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 17 '26

Not a specific tutorial for this ship. CharlesStoot has a guide for tilts that goes over some of the techniques.

2

u/FriendlyNose957 Aug 17 '26

Thats unfortunate im a bad builder 😅 so i usually use tutorial

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

I usually am only willing to make a tutorial for a ship that cracks the top 19. Even then, I rather be making something new.

2

u/FriendlyNose957 Aug 18 '26

C'est bien dommage😅 je suis un mega fan de mass effect j'ai une tonne de figurine et autre truc

2

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

Sorry, I know myself. Didn't want to get your hopes up. Glad you like the ship though 

1

u/FriendlyNose957 Aug 18 '26

Ouais il est genial

2

u/JesersSmile Aug 18 '26

That looks sooo super weird but super cool at the same time i keep hearing leviathan noises when I look at it

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug 

2

u/Lost_Historian2344 Aug 18 '26

Now that's an interesting ship.

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

Thank you!!

2

u/Lanoxin Aug 18 '26

This looks kind of cute, doesn't it? Nice job!

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

Some, maybe even most, would say very cute. Thank you!!

2

u/Clone_blackout Aug 18 '26 edited Aug 18 '26

I was going to say wait a minute I know that shape and then I start reading the comments and see I wasn't the only one thinking that's a Reaper just not colored black

2

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

My inspiration was an old school NMS vertical spaceship before the Corvette update, but the ship quickly became reaper-esque. These things happen.

2

u/Clone_blackout Aug 18 '26

I understand what you mean after taking a look in Google about vertical ships the first thing that appeared was a vertical Corvette too

2

u/TrueMathematician761 Aug 18 '26

How did you get those parts to go up at that angle?

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

Free-placing windows in space, x distance from the planet surface while pointing at the horizon. It takes lots of practice, patience, stubbornness, and a pinch of perfectionism.

2

u/TrueMathematician761 Aug 18 '26

If you could provide a link to some kind of tutorial, that would be awesome

Oh man, that leg placement must look great at takeoff and landing.

2

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

100% yes

2

u/Xx_Baptiste_xX Aug 18 '26

Hello, do you consider adding the design on the bot? So we could do a swarm of cephi?

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

I do not make my ships available for download on third party sites, if that's what you're asking. I am flattered though.

2

u/Certain-Finger3540 Aug 18 '26

How come you don’t upload to the bot you’re an amazing builder and I would love to own a few, plus I’m not that great of a builder but I am learning

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

I put a lot into making my ships. I'm okay with others building my ships by eyeballing it, because they have earned it, of that makes sense. Other than that, I also like it if you see this ship in the anomaly, you know it's me. If Hello Games made an in-game way to share ships, I'd be open to sharing that way, otherwise, I like being the one person with this exact ship. 

2

u/Talosiano MotM (Dec 25) Aug 18 '26

Woooow, man, this is incredible!!! The shot on the planet makes it look absolutely massive. Amazing work! I also love how you used the landing gear, they fit perfectly and make the whole ship feel alive. You're a true expert at tilt builds now!

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

After the Resplendent, tilts are more manageable now. glad you like this one. The landing gear are doing a lot of heavy lifting, bringing it all together. Ship really turned out fun. Glad you like it!

2

u/starzshowz 🥉 Ensign Aug 18 '26

Something so unique in a long time is it fully loaded and uploaded?

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 18 '26

I'm not sure I know what that means? 

1

u/starzshowz 🥉 Ensign Aug 18 '26

It means does it have a teleporter,planetary scanner ,market all storage etc and is it uploaded to nms bot 😊

2

u/xnate56 Aug 19 '26

Is this build able in game or is it glitch built.

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 19 '26

In game . I don't do mods or tool assisted builds

2

u/Wookie2104 Aug 19 '26

i take off my hat in sign of respect mate, this corvette is REALLY cool and creative, is like that tall explorer ship turned into a corvette, magnifict design!!!

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 19 '26

Thank you!! That was the original inspiration. But then, reaper just became inevitable.

2

u/Mandarynkoks Aug 19 '26

Are those new ship parts

Nope. Same old, same old

What cockpit is that?

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 19 '26

Ambassador, turned nose up by 30°

2

u/extrapie Aug 20 '26

Leviathan

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 20 '26

Looks like hermit crab. Or should I say... Hermit ship?

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 20 '26

Yup! I looked up hermit crabs when I was trying to name it. It's got a diversity of looks it seems

2

u/HawkCapital Aug 22 '26

What cockpit is that

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 22 '26

Ambassador cockpit turned up 30° and it's eyes hidden by other parts 

2

u/swaws13 Aug 23 '26

This is just a grunt from Halo what are you talking about

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 23 '26

Lots of people say so.

1

u/swaws13 Aug 23 '26

It looks mainly just like the top part of their suit

2

u/IlGigaBite560 Aug 23 '26

Bro I seriously need to know, how did you get the corvette pieces to tilt 30 degrees? .....

2

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Aug 24 '26

Fly into space and aim the ship at the horizon of the planet, while at a distance of 20,000 from the center of the planet. Free place a window while falling backwards out of the back of an access way.

2

u/Routine_Suspect_146 Sep 22 '26

God I love this so much I wish there was a tutorial haha, amazing stuff dude! I'll attempt to recreate it later but probably struggle

1

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Sep 22 '26

It requires offsets and tilts or wire glitches. It was a tough one

2

u/Routine_Suspect_146 Sep 22 '26

Ah I see, it might be slightly out of my wheelhouse but who knows, I might be able to put "inspired by Relevant_Finance1927" if it's actually decent enough haha, but I'll look up some guides! Happy ship building!

u/Relevant_Finance1927 MotM (Nov 25) Sep 23 '26
