If it makes you feel any better, I'm old too and haven't heard of the movie either.  I do remember the Murder Death Kill game, though - never played it, but my longtime 40K buddy was a programmer on it about the time we first met.  If there was a Code 187 video game, I haven't heard of it either.

 

Though, I think we are likely the same amount of old, as the movie Code 187 and the MDK video game came out in the same year.

 

I'll own up.  I'm in my mid-40s, and i had no IDEA that there was a film called "Code 187" in 1997!!  I'm actually going back four years further to 1993 and the work of absolute art that is "Demolition Man":

Stallone. Not Van Damme.

 

I bet they have the 3 Seashells in the Imperial Palace.

We'll never know how to use seashells...

As fun as it is to reminisce about "old" films, we should probably stick to the titans, aircraft, and space ships

Fair. And thanks for the very gentle nudge of a reminder to stay on-topic! Deftly handled.

 

I currently find myself out of ideas. I may try to do some detailing and see if inspiration strikes. Part of me thinks that there should be another Heavy Starfighter / Bomber that carries the "proper" ship killers but I've not got a form or any other details in my head.

 

I can't do any more with Cybernetica, beyond finishing off some of the mechanical bits to make them actually workable.

 

I'm hoping someone might have an idea...?

[Lord_Mephistopheles]

There remains a deal of work to be done in detailing etc., but the latest addition:

 

Kopis-class Fighter - smaller and more nimble than the Xiphon-class Interceptor, which i have recategorised as a 2-man craft in the same way that an F-14 is a larger, 2-man variant for interceptor duties, vs. the F-16.

 

There are no prizes for spotting the homage / inspiration for this craft!

Viper from the OG Battlestar Galactica. Vintage inspiration!

[Lord_Mephistopheles]

I have a new favourite thing!!

 

I think i'm in love with my Kopis-class Starfighter... although the rebranding exercise has resulted in the Xiphon now being an Interceptor and the Sagaris now being an Attack Ship.
