This is my completely reworked version of a small fighter space craft I've been working on for a while now. This is just the technical rotation, but I will be following it up with a painted and fully rendered conceptualization soon. This is for my personal project, a graphic novel. (yep still working away on it!). The name of this particular fighter is "Frigid Affection". It's one of a kind vessel with space and atmospheric flight and combat capabilities. The ship is noticeably lacking windows, instead the pilots surroundings are projected onto a 360 degree navigational display inside the cockpit. A series of thousands of tiny fiber optic cameras located on the exterior of the ship provide the images. Advanced software provides combat heads up display overlays. powered by twin nuclear pulse jet turbines, ingeniously engineered cooled by the natural vacuum of space. Thrust is directed by five vectored thrust nozzles at the rear, and fine maneuvering air jets located all over the ship. In atmosphere, the craft relies on traditional airfoils to stay aloft, but has emergency anti-gravity generators to keep the ship in the air in the event of a structural wing failure, or catastrophic loss of airspeed.

(the two blank windows are for tech specs that I will come up with later on for the book)

For some reason, I see this as more of a prototype for a corvette or a frigate. Still, great design!

Hmm, I'd say it's a little small for those ship types. but thanks for the complement!
