Do you guys issue your Cyber-drones pilots with headgear or just leave them stock.

Alpha:tron just issued all Cyber-drone pilots with new headgear, we had to modify the Drone cockpit slightly to fit.

For me, it's the Deep Freeze Defender, with the Explorien Starship a close second. I do appreciate how serious and military the Space Police flagships feel.

Yes.

If was being a Blacktron purist: I would say too much yellow, Blacktron is overwhelming black with just a touch of yellow accent

>>11900279
I'm gonna need a clearly defined black/yellow ratio there chief

Lets take the blacktron flagship

6954
293 parts
14 trans red
1 trans yellow
28 yellow
16 yellow and black(prints mostly)
234 black

234-28

8.3 - 1 on a part by part basis although a lot of the yellow parts are smaller and the mixed black and yellow pieces are mostly black. so I would say 10-1 .

Note : i am not saying OG blacktron is best just pointing out what it is , Correct blacktron mocs should be basically overwhelming black
>>
>>11900415
I don't think part count is a relevant measure in this case. The distribution of the colour scheme has more to do with surface area by colour. Which admittedly you can really only eyeball.
>>
>>11900415
>>11900488
The real question is whether this trend extends across all the Blacktron sets.

>i am not saying OG blacktron is best
If you mean to imply that the B2 colour scheme is better, your taste is shit and you should feel shit.

What are the opinions on the Renegade remake? I remember some people saying it also had too much yellow. Didn't really seem that bad to me.
>>
>>11900690
Nostalgiafagging aside I think it's got a much more coherent shape than the original. And I love the function to release the truck, totally airdropped it Mako-style over my bed a bunch when I got it. Not a huge amount of unique pieces, but that Blacktron-printed Jedi Interceptor foil on the front is sweet and you can never have too many of those cockpits. Solid 10/10, especially by modern standards.
>>
>>11900700
I really liked it too, for the reasons you mentioned, but I was mostly curious about what people thought of the yellow-to-black ratio.
>>
Lego is for manchildren
>>
>>11900705
I think it's okay as long as yellow is used to highlight functional elements such as joints, boosters, ventilation grilles, weapons, docking areas. Other than that, yellow should be restricted to thin lines on the hull. Coloring huge parts of a ship in yellow is a big nono. It doesn't work like the grey/blue in Classic Space, the red/black in M-Tron, the blue/black in SP1, or the grey/black in SP2.
>>
>>11900705
I don't mind it so much, bit more yellow gives it a more striking look. I mean long as there's still a 3:1 ratio minimum with the black and yellow.
>>
>>11900714
It's "Legos"

>si si muchas legos por favor senor
We are speaking english. In english, a word ending with an O is pluralized as -es. It's Legoes and always will be.

I could give a soggy donkey cock about its preferred pronouns, it's the inferior Blacktron.

Sorry man, neon green bubble cockpits are just cooler. The Blacktron II aesthetic is really unique, in a good way, almost a precursor to UFO, which as we know is kino.

I had that bottom left one, the UFO. Fucking sick kit.
>>
>>11900690
It's fucking amazing. I got one as a gift last year. It's fun to build and has crazy play value. It's too big to be a fighter. It's a light frigate. It shoots blaster bolts, it has a phaser, and the machine in the center without the crew compartment is a plasma projector that shoots a giant orb of hot shit like a romulan warbird! it's deadly!

It still keeps the black with yellow highlights colorscheme, even the percentage of yellow is higher. Not how the hull is mostly black, with yellow mostly appearing in striping or highlighting specific components like the engines.
I think the main thing in getting Blacktron colorscheme to look right is to make it look like a black vehicle with select details painted yellow. Meanwhile Blacktron II uses both black and white as main colors, with a more even ratio between them.
