Here is my blob ship (note, I started long before Jay Rayney posted his Aqua
Pod, so he wasn't my inspiration, it was H.E. Day himself who inspired me,
just like in Jay's case).

My ship is called the: Independant Reconnaissance and Investigation Drone,
with Intelligence Abilities, or IRIDIA. I am open to better naming
suggestions (using the acronym IRIDIA). I don't like the ending I've come up
with too much.

Anyway, this little drone has cost me several nights from (11PM-2:AM) and
all the free moments during the day after that. I just finished it this
afternoon. It is "dirty" from travelling through space, and can have an
optional force-field (which would keep it clean from space debris, but waste
too much power). It propells itself with the thrusters you can see as
yellow-orange bands. There are thrusters on the back and front of the rear
ring, and on the sides and underside. I think this provides all necessary
movement. It is unmanned, and serves for exploration of unknown environments
on newly discovered planets and satellites. The windows are for two cameras
that show the operators the world they are exploring. I might add another
camera to the front, but have not decided yet (it would probably subtract
some coolness).
