Spoiler: Space Truck Type-C

This "cute" little model is excellent for the beginning transporter, as it comes with two storage chests and plenty of room for additional gear. Its "tires" are ion thrusters pointing down for hovering.

In the above image is not only the standard production model you'll receive through the dealer link above, but two examples that prove its versatility. The black concept model sports a Jammer and 7 cargo storage modules, perfect for those more clandestine deliveries. Its upgraded power systems are rated for permanently sustained jamming and thrust, leaving only scanners and temporal anomalies as your primary threats to stealth. The one in blue has 5 cargo storage modules and a fully operational jump drive, though even its beefy power train requires 4 full power tanks to charge the hungry FTL device.

It was originally created on EE for the simple purpose of hauling ores from my salvager to the planet's factory and refinery. Somehow during construction it went from a failed dump truck to a tanker design that I rather liked. Since then, I found myself using it for small scale hauling and roams, and tinkering with its design. An experimental version of the warp truck built on EE featured Starfleet-style nacelles for the jump drive.

More will come as our R&D creates and tests them. Possibly including a revisit of that dump truck idea to make it work if possible.

I totally did not forget about this thread. Nope.

The first post has been updated with the full catalog available.

The past few months have been busy ones for Magnetar Industries, with a variety of craft produced by our R&D Department. Even now there are several more vehicles in different stages of completion. Today, we are happy to show teasers of some of our potential upcoming craft.

Spoiler: Peregrine

Designation: Multi-Role Aerospace Superiority Fighter/Interceptor

In light of the massive success of our popular Falcon-class Fighter, which received the most purchases of our entire catalog as well as a stellar customer review and the thumb of approval of the Cobalt Royalty's leader, MI had been hard at work on a derivative model meant to utilize the new Rails technology to further emphasize the original hull's multi-role capability. The changes were significant enough to warrant a new class name, based on a specific species of the avian creature for which its forebear was named.

Powered by strong Rail rotors, the wings on the Peregrine are capable of sweeping back for stability during supersonic flight, at the push of a single button. This ability however meant the previous fixed-mount weapon hard-points would not work, necessitating the need for swiveling mounts to keep the armament facing forward for aerodynamic and combat purposes. Each wing has three mounts, and a pair of light machine guns were installed on the nose for just in case. The addition of these new systems meant some concessions were made in onboard systems, but great care was made to try and preserve the craft's ionic defense and afterburner ratios. Power storage was split between fuselage and wings, granting more total power for the wing-mounted weapons, especially with each pod having its own internal store.

The Peregrine is currently awaiting further testing and the development of weapons pods to go with it.

Spoiler: Unnamed Long-Range Stealth Gunship

Designation: Covert Operations Vessel (tentatively classed as a gunship; likely to be reclassified. Marketing suggests Submarine; R&D suggests Marketing are idiots.)

Designed for deep space reconnaissance and covert operations, this craft is capable of permanently sustainable stealth to ensure no one sees you until it's too late. A potent shield generator shields the otherwise fragile ship from fire, while its jump drive permits getting far away from danger. It is armed with a single lock-on torpedo for striking at soft targets.

The Insert-Name-Here is currently undergoing testing, and awaiting a final name and proper class.

Spoiler: Unnamed Space Locomotive Engine

Designation: Freight/Passenger Locomotive Engine

Sometimes a standard freighter can handle a customer's hauling needs just fine, but there are times where a more modular setup is required to fit the demand. For those times, Magnetar is working on this fine example of a "Space Train." Its twin engines produce over 5:1 TWR, allowing it to pull seriously heavy loads throughout the cosmos. In addition to its powerful thrusters, this ship includes a jump drive for interstellar transport and a cruise control mode for giving its pilot a break during long straight voyages.

On its underside rests three landing legs for planetary deliveries, and its rear features a Universal Serial Dock Type-1 for maximum compatibility. Beyond the dock is a pressurized airlock, to ensure personnel safety in case unpressurized or open-to-space cargo containers are docked to the engine.

The Space Locomotive Engine is awaiting further tests, a name, and some cars to go with it.
