Gáx-Type Shuttlecraft

[jaspertjie]

Merry Christmas and Happy new year to start!

This is my new Maraxxian shuttlecraft: The Gáx Class. At the tip of the wings you can see two barrels: The small one is an aiming sensor and the big one is a micro-torpedo launcher. Also, on each wing there are two dome shapes which are pulse-cannons. The bottom turret is a cutting beam. The shape on the top of the ship is just to make it a bit fancier.
Oh, the text on the warp engines is Maraxxian; it says: MXR.

very interesting, i like how you've integrated the warp engines.

I like this one, but unlike the carrier, this feels like something a biped would build.

I'm thinking the pulse cannons should be round, protruding through both sides of the wings. Otherwise, you've got 180 degrees that they can't effectively target without reorienting the ship.

You mean one person alone?

You mean the top and bottom of the wings?

No. By "build", I meant "design".

You mean the top and bottom of the wings?

Yes, so they get a fuller field of fire. Most of the mechanism could be shared between the top and bottom, with just the emitters and a few other components being duplicated. You could probably even fire top and bottom at half power or lower to each emitter.

The bottom cannon can rotate.
