The H2A6-Cherokee is a light frigate designed to haul cargo in and out of hostile territories. I've tried before to build ships with a conventional freighter form, but only recently feel like I got somewhere decent with the aesthetic. Also I was watching a lot of Firefly while building this. The ship is a kind of Serenity-inspired project, built for small teams and odd jobs.
The H2A6-Cherokee comes equipped with five gatling cannons, four homing missile arrays, a shield depletion beam, and two cannon turrets. It's also is kitted out with a large salvage beam for mining excursions.
The H2A6-Cherokee with landing struts deployed - and some cargo drones
There must have been some changes to how buttons are wired because I wasn't able to get them to link to the core (please PM me if you know anything about this change - haven't played in awhile). Once I resolve this issue the ship will be capable of deploying its landing struts. The H2A6-Cherokee also comes equipped with a descending dock in the cargo area. Large cargo modules can be docked on both sides of vessel.
An H2A6-Cherokee sans cargo modules
There's still a bit of space toward the back of the ship which I left hollow. I'm not a very talented logician, but might try to do some interesting in that space at some point.
