    This is a really great looking Boarding Craft ! I assume it's meant for the purposes of getting astronauts into enemy ships during battle based on its systems.

    I really like the shape - like throwing knife with nice flat areas emphasizing the (rather pleasing) association. The detailing is really nice, and most importantly, a lot of care went into armor covering almost all crucial areas.

    So the stylish but very thorough armoring for a such a small craft, lack of weapons & radar jammer led me to assume it's a boarding craft, meant to survive the trip to the enemy ship and board it! :)

    I have a few small suggestions :
    - I can't enter the core after I sat down (it might not be a valid complaint, I'm just used to sitting down & then entering core)
    - maybe a few more power regen blocks (4 is enough - prolonging the existing power regen groups) could be placed somewhere. Since the jammer eats up the limited power reserve & plus thrusters.
    -- If the power is stable with jamming & thrust - then the trip to the enemy ship could be less stressful/risky :)
    - I'd experiment with removing a thruster or two, and putting in a few overdrive blocks - and see what that does to speed & power usage. Basically to make the trip to the enemy ship faster :)
    - and finally - just 1 shield recharger block would help - since the core already has 220 shield capacity - but it is not used. I feel 1 recharger is worth it to have that one more bit of protection for the perilous trip.

    All that (6-8 more system blocks in total) would make this Boarding craft really great.

    I love the idea and the great look :)

    P.S. I gave full stars - based on apparently deliberate and thorough design & the intended function (my assumption)

    Thank you for your time. The ship is actually a civilian shuttle meant to be fast and tough so it can escape safely in case of a pirate attack. It has the stylish agile look of the expensive JRS-class ships so it can be held as a status symbol. I agree that the ship could use more power reactors and it could use more dark grey armor but anyhow thanks for the review.
