Chuffed I am.

Noticed that. Note ammunition costs aren't usually included in the stats...

Well there you are, done at last.
Awesome job.
Looking forward to your next project.

Very nice!!

Congrats on the article publication!!

Excellent job!

 

[middenface]

Thank you. There will be more. Though I still plan on doing a version of the old Serpent at some point.

The Serpent with the swing wings?

Thats the one, updated for MGT (aerofins methinx?) Just maybe some confusion with the Serpent cutter... oh someone messed up in the Scout Design dept...

 

[DFW]

What program(s) do you use to render the ships?

Yup, that should do the trick. I used aerofins for my version.

Sketchup

The map are SU but heavily re-jigged in illustrator.

Cool!

Out of curiosity and the fact the JTAS its from is on my desk... how did you fit the fins in>?
Somehow you need to fit in 5 tons. Drop the fuel tankage a bit? Drones? Kitchen Sink?

The plans I see seem larger than 100 tons... possibly.. even though its says its 100 tons.. I could build it as a 200 ton scout, that could be fun. Perhaps add a lab/survey room thing?

Some cargo space got lost but also used the Air/Raft from Civilian Vehicles which is a lot smaller then the core rulebook one. The Drones are still there though I upgraded them to Advanced Probe Drones.

Most swing-wing planes have fuel tanks in the wings.

Such a silly sausage, just found your article!

Might leave the raft out. If you want it you've got some cargo space to put it in. 7 tons it now plenty for a raft/grav bike etc and equipment.

Still I'm kind of tempted to make it something newer.. that could suit me well. Quezacotl Class 200 Ton scout...

Ah, that should tell you what I did with it.

Don't forget the trouble of depressurizing the cargo bay if you want to deploy it in space. You are going to have to make sure there isn't anything in there that's going to get sucked out into space.

That could work well.

Love that graphic. Would you mind if I shrunk it and made it my avatar?
