This is, of course, what you may get when crossing John Eaves's scoutship with my Rapier. The "Bonsai" is a redo of the other fighter (a type 9-ish critter that looked neutered) on my SMR page. The "Bonsai" Type 15, Class F, shuttlecraft stands at 15.2 meters long, by 8.2 meters wide, small enough to fit inside most standard shuttlebays. Weapons include two Type VI phaser array strips, two phaser cannons and one torpedo nested in a shallow cavity and clamped to a compressed gas launcher. The launcher is known as a Gas Aided Momentum Release system. The canopy allows ingress/egress and is covered with sensors to provide visual imformation to the virtual holographic wrap-around viewer. The viewer is actually on the underside of the sensor "skin", which can be jestisoned if damaged beyond use, allowing the pilot to see out through the transparent aluminium bubble. As you can tell, the canopy looks like a bridge module. This is purposeful to confuse the enemy about the actual size of the craft, causing doubt with either their eyes, or the scanners. Crew is one.
These velocities are well within the standard for limited tau factor (time dilation) exposure. VMAX, or velocity maximum is only used in extreme duress and does irreversible damage to the impulse engines. If the spaceframe survives, the engines must be replaced.
Warp Velocities Cruise: 1 Max: 2 (10c) for 48 hours. EMER: 3 (39c) for one hour.
I am working on a computer drafting of this.

I'm finding myself quite impressed. Very nice work, Cargile. Do you have a side view as well? And, I noticed the registry number on the fighter. Is this a registry separate from the ship, like a runabout, or the same as the ships, like a shuttle?

Yes the number is like a shuttle. The tentative number here is NCC-77039/18 belonging to a USS Avondale. I've done a real detailed MSPaint trace-over of the top view. The picture is huge. I've done one color that I need to shade and decale, and one with the data that I'm not happy with because the lines are too blurred. They should be up this weekend. I've upgraded the phaser array to type vii. The side view has been a pain. I will get it done soon.

Cargile, as I've said - beautiful work - and its true what you said the more practice the better you get - and I'm glad you posted it cause it shows how to do things - its like creative writing - you get better at it by reading more examples - i.e. novels etc.

So it is BANZAI! A small Japanese tree hardly seems threating.
No wonder I couldn't find it in the dictionary.
Wing Commander. I have an outdated Super Nintedo game, but it is no inspiration.
A good trick for accurate symetry is to fold the paper in half before you draw, leting the crease be the center line. Draw one half of the ship, fold, shade in over the lines to carbon coby, then trace.

It looks... kind of Klingon, actually. Although, that probablt comes from the scoutship influence. It was slightly Klingon-shaped, too, thought less so than this... :-)
