generic Fighter line

[Jinx]

a word in advance

these ships are MEANT to look simple. Rough shapes, no fancy lines ... more a down to business appearence. - they are based off of the known and reliable BW line but meant to take the concepts a little bit futher.

it was a longer time ago that someone ( forgot who ) asked if it was possible to make a few concepts of a shipline for mercenaries and freelancers that was not associated with any faction. - since the BW line is associated with unlawfuls ( for a large part ) and the eagle line isn t really too popular for some reason - this might be an alternative.

the light fighter is similar to the dagger - but slightly smaller. it shares the base characteristics with the long and hexagonal nose and the wings. - in contrast to the dagger however - this one is more designed to allow stable atmospheric flight ( larger wings )

also similar to the stiletto BW line ... a bottom module was added as well as larger wings. - the ship itself might be similar to the kingfisher - but possibly equipped with a greater powercore, cause the kingfisher is meant to be bad.

again - the BW origin is unmistakenly visible. the complete frame of the sabre was added as well as a turret placement behind the cockpit for a "sevenths weapon"

this is where the design seriously breaks with the BW line. - a classic delta frame was added to make that ship HUGE from the top/downside. - a full 4 massive engines give it the mass to justify the "SHF" label. all in all - the ship is shorter than the other variants though.

i decided to go for a SHF design rather than a bomber for reasons i cannot remember anymore....


there are nothing but concepts - low detail ones, too.

Those (apart from the SHF) are awesome. Finish 'em and force-feed them into .86 NOW!

what - you don t like the delta wing SHF? - i think its cute....

but anyway... nothing gets into 4.86 anymore ( for several months already ) - deadline was autumn 2010

these are nothing but concepts that might be refined for some other time.

Oh dear god, sexy models. :lol:

If this is textured right and doesn't look all smudged like the Firefly, it will be epic. Jinx, you're amazing.

Oh, for the texture I'm thinking pannel-y look similar to BHG or the Eagle line but a different color? Hai?

I see F117.


Anyways, cool models. Interesting concept too, would be fun if disco had more ships that were civilian to choose from.

me like me lke!:crazy:

but the last....
i would make it a bomber and redesing the super heavy.

reason to make it a bomber is it masive wing,
place enough for 4 torpedo,s and still have 2 forward guns.

If I wont see this in 4.86 (which is a myth) I will hunt down developers one by one!
