Description
I'm working on spacecraft again. This is a fighter concept for my M'kkiae War story line. It's a pretty simple picture, with Earth and moon textures from NASA. I did put some bump on the Earth material to give the land and clouds some roughness. That part looks pretty cool anyway.
Thanks for viewing and commenting.

It took us three years, but by the summer of 2257, we'd finally reverse-engineered enough salvaged Easterner and M'kkiae hyper-string pseudo gravity pods to build HSPG units compact enough to fit in a two seater.
The Avengers would fit in a 6X15 ship bay with the pods retracted. And the base unit could hold eight full-sized ship-killer drones. That whole reactionless acceleration thing really made fighters useful again. There was enough fuel on board for thirty days, and with over eight gees sustained acceleration and nearly thirteen on full military power, the Avengers could fly circles around anything out there.
We could launch from far outsystem, drive up to a few percent of cee and coast into the thick of it undetected.
Too bad they were so fragile, though. One hit to one pod and the show was all over. Sure you could detach the forward cabin as a lifeboat, but if you

Nicely done. Really impressed with the comments about gliding on forever through the darkness. Too much SF forgets about the true Newtonian mechanics in space and assume something just comes to a stop at it's current position and floats there.

This ship concept reminds me of the Human-Thranx gunboats featured in Alan Dean Foster's "Humathranx Commonwealth" universe.
