    You'd get oixidisation from the atmosphere in the ship, so, scorch marks from breachs that lead to oxygen loss sound legit. Also some propellant or explosives may well carry their own oxidiser that could leave scorch marks.
    Laser strikes on painted surfaces if there's any oxidisers in the paint (or, ablative armour).

    Suggestion for the Protomolecule design if you add it later on - perhaps a material that glows blue under UV would give a cool effect, and it could be backlit by a small DIY led (or just a bit of UV led strip).
    3 possible methods - 3D print it in a UV fluorescent filament (as I know you experimented with it recently); mix up some UV reactive powder into a viscous glue like PVA; or mould it from epoxy (many resins glow under UV, just try to find a more 'blue' one!). Maybe add some large grains of carbon black grit too for a more 'speckled' look?

    Another way to create protomolecule would be clear epoxy resin poured over chunky glass fit to a mold of your design incorporating leds for the desired effect. Like a mold made of clear acrylic to be covered with chunky glass to be covered with the clear epoxy to hold it all together. The acrylic pyramid would be of whatever design you wished to get the proto molecule look you wanted.

    Amazing stuff! I love SFF builds, simply because of hom much power you can fit into a small space. An idea for the GPU fans, maybe paint the inside of the cones metallic silver, so the light from the vents can reflect from that and create the illusion of the "blue fire". For the accents, I think printing it on a paper, then cutting it and simply making a template for the stripes could work. Great team effort (hats off to Nick for putting Jay's ideas into physical objects) and the buid turned out really nice :)

    Theoretically, scorching could happen in space. Metal slugs and rounds hitting things creates a lot of heat and these ships need to have some type of atmosphere inside them for human habitation which that heat and metal could react with as it escapes. So, theoretically it could happen. Additionally, kinetic rounds in space, where there is no resistance due to friction, won't lose any velocity until impact. If hitting at a high enough velocity those rounds could very well be vaporizing themselves and parts of the ship, similar to tank rounds which melt on impact. That could potentially create super heated gases as well. Love the mod and can't wait to see what else you come up with!

    This is looking great, love to see the process on what you all did.
    These kinds of projects give me some inspiration for cosplay ideas
    also a tip: if you use a self levelling epoxy like XTC3D you can smooth out print layers rather quickly.
    You will loose some details because the epoxy will fill it, but when using this on pieces that dont need too much detail it is great.
    you can also add colours to the epoxy and give your part a base colour or give it some metallic look so if you do some "damage" to the paint it will show that

    Have you considered dry brushing a silver over the disturbed sections of the spaceship? The metal shearing and stretching would expose the raw material. I also think the subtle highlights would really accent the dark, droll nature of the build - which I also understand is an aesthetic.

    For the protomolecule you could try epoxy resin mixed with a pearlescent or glitter blue paint, if you combine that with clear or even opaque epoxy and led's you could make an organic looking fluid which glows. They do that for guitar bodies or tables which has a nice effect. Could even 3d print a template to get the desired shape.

    Suggestion for the Protomolecules: It seems the color is pretty close to what you have got going on the engine fans, so maybe you could just connect an ARGB strip to the end of the fan-ARGB series. If you want to fiddle more with the ARGB programming, you can cose it to do the Protomolecule effect at the LEDs after the fans, basically by treating it as a separate group. After all, chaining them just makes it one long ARGB strip software-wise. No need for more headers.
