THE COLONIAL RAPTOR, FTL UPDATE
Multi Mission Small Craft
Authorized by the Admiralty to carry the class Small Craft, The Raptor is designed to be small, sleek, and long-range where a full battlstar is not required.
==============================================================================
Dimensions of Project
Exact Dimensions are available, with the dimensions are 21 meters long, 8 meters at the widest, and 17 meters at the tallest point.
==============================================================================
Purpose
The Raptor class will be outfitted for long range recon and covert troop insertion, Search & Rescue, and Transport duties without having to utilize valuable Vipers. All Raptor variants are capable of space-borne and atmospheric operations.
==============================================================================
Armament
The Raptor will be lightly armed, with four small light missile launchers and two light cannons, not suited for one-on one combat with foes. Upon engagement by hostile forces, an immediate withdrawal is advised.
==============================================================================
Range
The Raptor class is designed to be a long-range sub-light transport and a short range inter-ship and inter-system craft capable of atmospheric operations.
With a crew of 2, the Raptor will be a significant advantage and feel the needs of your short-range craft.
Newer versions of the Raptor include a short-range FTL drive, allowing for greater range and operations.
==============================================================================
The Raptor comes standard with interior cockpit lights, Landing Gear, a Salvage Beam, Healing Cabinet, a spotlight, and hard lock with a ventral hatch.
Public Version Two:
The engines are more powerful, with a major update in thrust ratio to almost 1:3.
Updates in anti-gravity allow for an automatic switch of gravity on or off, once a passenger enters or exits the craft.
A major redesign and update in technology have allowed for a larger cabin space, without sacrificing power output and capabilities.
