Tossing ideas around for an intercept-fighter or small gunship design on IRC.
Eventually, I settled on the idea of an attack-shuttle that uses a propulsive system based on that of the Maras. She maneuvers like a house-fly and packs. She can carry two armor and the nose-section has room for a cabin, two bunks and the back end can mount two armors. The area between the engines is reserved for any special cargo and collapsable containers are built in. Alternatively, standardized cargo-containers can be loaded (everything from delivery to special mission pay-loads, bombs, personel, you name it).
Without the payload, it's insanely quick and nippy for it's size. With, it's quite an impressive assault bomber or troop delivery system. With minor modification, it'd be ideal for any bounty-hunters, mercenaries, merchants or anyone who likes to travel.
I might write it up.
Excuse the primitive looking model. It's a draft.
