In a recent spy mission to Sikan Orbital, I uncovered some Axia Tech. Corps plans to develop a piggyback-type ship in the works. The first, a large trading vessal, is not all that unusual except for a small dock in the rear and code named "humpback".

The second, a very small fighter that docks inside the "humpback", is where a lot of the mystery has arised. Code named "Stingray", it is supposedly powered by a pair of new, top-secret engines. The Axia have coupled the propulsion drive with the large weapons port. It is rumored that this has effectively doubled its max speed. The negative aspect of this new technology is there's no way to engage turbo thrust. This with no cargo capacity, makes it a ideal companion for the "humpback".

Under the guise of developing a sophisticated mining team for its Station in the Dau system, it is easy to see that it could double as a attack force against Valent Robotics. More to come...

Just curious welistration, what program did you create your entries with?
my guess goes to a vector drawing program like Illustrator.
I've got some interesting designs sketched up, but no scanner, and I forgot to bring my LW dongle home so I can't model them for at least a week. But yea, some interesting fighter and non-fighter designs...

Yes indeed on illustrator. I'm a graphic designer/illustrator by trade. I never got into any 3D modeling program. So, I'll have to wing a 3D view in photoshop. WooHoo!
I really think with your design that you would not have too much trouble trying to recreate that in wings or blender or something else. Perfect opportunity to try out a 3D app!
The Humpback would be the easiest cuz it's pretty much all flat surfaces. Texturing would be pretty important on it, tho.
Do I have three ships entered? Do you want more pics of the designs or drawings? John Rambler Designs
I have your pics Ramrover, I'll be posting them this week.
Soc "this week" has come and gone and now we are on a new week. Planning on posting that stuff for ramrover tumble?
I've got a design I've been messin with, may have something soon(TM) to post myself, would like to see what others are coming up with if anyone is. B)

I am john, just haven't gotten to it yet. You'll have to wait.
/me wonders where the page is that the ships designs are displayed upon.
I couldn't find any other thread, so i'm posting the pictures here...
The TGP Scoutship is a very fast and agile ship, but it can only fit 1 light weapon, which makes it not very viable in combat. Its main purpose is prospecting.

This is a possible render, the texture is al little to shiny for VO, though.

This one is edited in Photoshop, yust a little playing around. I added some motion blurr and an engine exhaust.

My second entry is the Razorblade, a mediom fighter (armor about 8500-9500) with 2 small and one large weapon ports. (for example :)

EDIT: Sry 'bout the bad image quality, but the original render was 3mb and the collage nearly 1mb... :/

Merely a placeholder for final rendering, just thought I'd put something up to show what I've been working on. Update to come soon(TM).
No plans to make this a model for ingame use, so don't expect it to fit the game specs, just fan art.

4/21 - Minor update, still working on it

Is it possible to post updates to pics i allready posted?
Just swap out your old image for a new one on whatever server your hosting it from and use the same name. Will update automatically. That is unless you submitted it to Tumble for posting.
Sorry I haven't posted everyone's submissions yet. I'll try to get to it this weekend but I'm getting ready for a seattle trip so I may not get it done for another week.
Nice work everyone so far.

The Assault Drone is a little fighter. The cargo space might be about 2-3cu and it would have 2S and 1L weapon port. The acceleration would be very good, about 200N-230N, the max speed woul be about 200m/s with turbo, without 60-65m/s. The Spin torque would be about 7 Nm and the Turbo energy 55/s
The Hull Strenght woul only be about 6500-7000
Here is a possible render:

Heya all, I just got back from my trip. I'll assemble everyones design tonight and put them on a dedicated web page. Entries can be made here, and I will add them to the page.
