Update:

The all-new MU BRAT and its BDArmory variant, the Type-M, have been added to the DL folder and album.

Actually, that really depends on your definition of "starfighter". I tend to define it as a one-to-two man starship, with light/medium armor and a decent propulsion package.

Of course, the Corona's not a carrier-type fighter by any means, but it doesn't need to be. It has got ions for long-range travel, and isn't some uber-heavyweight ship.

TL;DR:

I like not having to skimp on things to make my fighters fit in a carrier, since carriers are (more often than not) fat 'ol targets for capital ships and other large fighters.

Also, this is my "corvette":

(It's a bit heavier than any of my fighters, and is my oldest working combat ship; its payload consists of twin 1.25 meter Shredder (guided shrapnel-filled) torps, with small i-beam missiles as backup.)

EDIT: Also, you're gonna need to put your picture for that frigate up on imgur or another image hosting site, since we can't remotely access your hard disk.

Congrats, dude! Keep up the great vids.

I guess you're right about a corvette, it's just that in my books a fighter, carrier type or not, in stock has 2-5 missile/torpedoes that starfighter of yours has over 9000

Also Really good looking corvette of yours

It's coming...

Ok, good news and bad news.

Bad news: I'm pushing back the big story changing stuff to episode 20 instead of 19.

Good news: It means episode 19 will be out sooner, and the two final episodes will have a more equal length rather than having episode 19 be 30 minutes long and episode 20 be 10 minutes.

More Bad news: I've asked ScriptKitt3h to make some required adjustments to a new ship I'm introducing in episode 19, that means I might not make tonight's deadline :/

[ScriptKitt3h]

Don't worry guys, the ship'll be ready faster than you think. I've gotten good at what I do.

Added a picture of Victory's stern to my OP.

As I appear to have become quite carried away with the business of building military ships, I thought I'd start a company

Now updated with added Piranha.

Aaand another one catches the bug of blowing stuff up with stuff designed for that purpose.

Rune. Welcome to the club!

[ScriptKitt3h]

Heheh, yep. The only thing I ever worry about is playing KSP MP whenever SQUAD comes out with it (or when DMP stops having docking/collision bugs), and running into some pirate/griefer smart enough to use our stuff...

Then again, I'd probably be flying a warship of my own, and they'd be toast.

[ScriptKitt3h]

Also, now that I've finished the minor refit for HatBat's ship for KS 19, I'm getting closer to releasing this:

I call it the Mako-class Stealth Caravel, and it's meant as a sort of long-range scout frigate, but is different enough to warrant it's own ship classification.

wait you made a ship that has a decent about of fuel?

[Halban]

Wow, I've been looking for a ship like that for EP 19. I'm already using one Rune sent to me as a little 'do-what-you-want-with' gift. But that thing is almost bang-on what I wrote in the script. Please can I have it Script, plez :3

[War Eagle 1]

@Hatbat

let me know if you need help with kerbpaint

[ScriptKitt3h]

Heheh... I know some of my ships tend to not carry immense amounts of fuel (I generally assume that I'll just have a tanker ship in formation if need be), but some of my craft (the Mako-class is one of these) have a decent amount of fuel to make the journey from LKO-to-LDO, and have ion engines for emergency backup/short-range burns, with lots of xenon and battery banks/solar arrays.

So, due to all the interest, I'll just put this here: (and on my company thread later, once I've made some more pics of it. )

^(Ship's nano-tech medical chair, which also can be used to save the consciousness of a Kerbonaut as an AI, for loading into a flash-cloned body in case of death or crippling injury)

^(Crew Lounge)

The SX-8 Mako-Class Caravel, or the Mako, is a fast, 3-man ship designed as a medium-to-light recon vessel.

It's armed with 8 i-beam missiles, and has 2 1.25 meter cargo/torpedo mounts (normally fitted with two SRB shipkiller torps).

Action Groups:

1-LVNs (twin)

2-Ions

3-Solar Arrays (hidden in the rear, meant to allow extended use of the ions)

4-Cabin Lights (for the internal crew area)

//

7-Fire twin SRBs

8-Fire a 4-shot i-beam salvo

To fly the ship (once in space), zoom inside the hull, locate the embedded probe core in the ship's center spine, right-click on it, and select "control from here".

(I'd HyperEdit it into orbit, if only due to the fact that the wings in the hull plating doesn't play well with Kerbin's lower atmosphere.)

DL: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9j535qnf821r3ti/MU%20SX-8%20Mako%20Stealth%20Caravel.craft?dl=0

Also, feel free to repaint it if you want HatBat, but please have an MU-painted one show up, even if it's a little easter egg.

Seeing those Kerbpainted ships makes me want to put some paint on the Executor class. (Which will be going up very soon).

You and daemon always have had the most interesting looking ships.

[ScriptKitt3h]

I have to say, some of your crafts are quite good-looking, especially the "Salvation Class MKV-B", as it is nice and compact.

Me and WarEagle are sitting pretty around Lathe.

I'm considering spending an hour or two IRL just taking the Mako on a shakedown run out to Jool... but then again, I'm kinda lazy.

[War Eagle 1]

The Salvation is the oldest ship I have and it has seen a lot changes sense it was first introduced.

My first battle was with Spartwo. It ended with a loss but the Salvation made a statement that my fleet could hold its own in combat. After the Massacre at Eve, I haven't loss sense and every chance I get, I try to include the Salvation in the action. Heck its one of the reasons why I hate low weight battles.

Here is a pic Spartwo made a while back.

The first shows the Salvation MKI with a Bayonet MKIII

The other is a year later with Spartwos current Bayonet Model and my current model of the Salvation

Me and WarEagle are sitting pretty around Lathe.

Wait, the Salvation can make it to Laythe?

Sweet, if I didn't have school works to do I would try to test myself to see if I could (because sometimes it really depends on the pilot) because I haven't done that yet. Heck the only things I have really sent to Jool is some probes. Thanks for testing it for me Spartwo

I don't know about the new one but the one in the image can in the same sense that the vanguard could.

[MissionController3134]

I've been experimenting with BD armoury so I haven't been posting much, and I have been talking to Vagani and competing in his car challenge

I will be back at some point with more warships though.

[War Eagle 1]

Which image?

[Spartwo]

Which image?

Both I guess. My ksp is back in action(mostly) and I can check it. You only need about 3.6km/s of D/v.
