Wow.  That article is very in-depth.  I think you've changed my mind.

Pff.  A 1:4 scale Hyperion, and the thing still looks huge.

Well, all right.  I'm still game.

Yard tug

The Yard tug is kind of like a zero G fork lift, it is used to move cargo containers around in orbit around the shipyards and orbital shipping facilities.


the fuel cells and batteries are exposed so that they can be easily swaped by hand if needed.



would you buy a toaster shaped like an f22 with an eject button on it? cause thats what i'm going for.

Wasnt there a "Worker Bee" similar to this somewhere? Freespace maybe?

i'm not sure, its a bit of a mash of a few things, mostly the B5 construction fury.

sort of a "space truck" it crews 4 and has docking collars for 2 small fighters as well as fuel and ammo storage for them. these ships cruse the gateways trading goods.

just like that colour. when armor is more defined i'll probibly switch things up a bit. probibly still end up keeping heavy armour on the struts though.
