Hapori Tohu Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Finally! I am relieved and delighted to announce that the <a href='http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/35223' target='offsite'>FTL: Faster Than Light</a> CUUSOO project has reached 10,000 supporters at last. This qualifies the project for the review period beginning in September, but after that it might be a while until production. We can only hope our patience will be rewarded with some great little spaceship sets.View the full article Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ta-metru_defender Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Yessss, I just might get to have an official Lego version of my Ship On Fire XII.

Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I saw 'Faster Than Light' and assumed this had something to do with CERN's neutrino experiments... like a microscale particle accelerator or something. Needless to say I'm quite disappointed. But I guess microscale spaceships are cool too. Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25K Now! Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Well, it looks like there'll be LEGO version of the BZPRPGer. Hopefully I can recreate Captain Snelly. Quote http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocolateFrogs Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 It looks like a nice micro-space ship, but it isn't the best micro-space ship out there. I bet even LEGO's designers could do better, and any number of people on flickr. I just don't see this being a practical set considering all the alternatives (and size). -CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be redesigned, like any sketch or concept model. With LEGO Cuusoo you're primarily voting on a concept — the point of the illustrations is to give examples of how that concept might be expressed as a set.So yeah, LEGO's designers could do better. And if this actually passes the review, then they'll probably do just that, because that's their job. I think more than build, the obstacles this will face will be more like the obstacles the EVE Online project faced: is this a good business case? FTL was a very well-received game but it's hardly a household name like Back to the Future or Minecraft.
