    This ship is designed to be an explorer/dogfighter. It is small, fast, and fairly heavily shielded for a ship of it's size. It's weapons aren't anything to write home about, but are more than adequate to defend itself against pirate vessels it might run into while on patrol. Tight turning radius and plenty of thrust make it an agile dogfighter, while a quick charge jump drive makes it quite capable of long range scouting missions.

    I'm so sorry someone gave this 1 star.

    Moving on, your ship looks great! The colors fit and the shape pleases me. Your turret really looks like it was made to be there (Which I assume it was) and I love looking at it.

    Your shields are decent, thrust good, jump drive good, and is totally power stable with jamming activated. Even while firing weapons and moving. Wonderfully done there!

    Two things keeping me from giving this a 5 star rating

    1. Weapons are definitely inadequate for real combat.

    2. This would make such a wonderful scout ship.. if it had a scanner! Give it a scanner, man!

    I wouldn't mind the lack of firepower at all if you dedicated it just a bit more to being a scout. On the flipside, this could be a great combat ship if you dedicated more space to the weaponry. But if your intended balance between scouting and combat is exactly what it is now, you did it perfectly.

    Overall, excellent ship. Please continue making more :)
    :/ what is this ? is it a plane ... is it a brick? Maybe a Dragon?

    You would have preferred yet another brick or pringles can?
