Voidhawk from Night´s Dawn

[Guest]

No random stuff this time! Here is my try at the Voidhawk spaceship from the book Night´s Dawn.

Because there is no film, the Voidhawk is mostly based on my imaginiation and this picture:

In the book, voidhawks are living biotechnology constructs, known for high maneuverability, speed and the ability to do ZTT (Zere-Time-Transfer) jumps everywhere. Their weapons are small Gamma-Lasers and drones, called combat wasps. My replica is maneuverable, too, the acceleration is not good () and it won´t do ZTT jumps (). But it has combat wasps! Each of the six wasps should be decoupled via right-click menu. After this it can fly through space with its RCS system (no, it won´t do 45g like in the book) and fire a single (non-nuclear) missile round at an enemy via staging.

The ship Hawk itself is propelled by two nukes (activate with AG1), and 4 heat panels can be extended using AG2. It weighs 45 tons and has 3,700 m/s of Delta-v. It also has "Battle Sensors" (Antennas) which can be extended using AG3.

Very nice, havent read the book, but judging from your craft and the initial picture its a job well done. But doesnt the tail need to be longer? thats my only criticism. +rep

Thank you! The differences between picture and model are because I tried to make the craft a compromise between the picture and my imaginiation. In the pic there´s a long tail, I always imagined the Voidhawk tailless and so I decided for a short tail.
