Hey Gil.  I've been here and there for a bit but I figure its not too late
to reply on this. Interesting ship.  While I don't like this as much as some
of your other recent creations, it's still a very cool ship.  The over all
shape is very unique.  Oddly though, my favorite part of it is probably the
cockpit.  Something about the way it closes up I really like.

The concept of the ship is great too.  NOF ships, large or small or very
interesting to me.  I actually had plans for a solar sail alpha ship but
couldn't for the life of me figure out how that would make a good fighter
;-)

laser)

Tired of plodding around the system in overpowered, clanging ion driven

At Toradoch Systems, we have the solution for your space jangled
nerves.....the Sol flare clipper.  Simply glide into the pod of one of our
newest line in NOF (No On-board Fuel) intersystem ships and relive some of
the glory days of lighter-than-air travel.

Relax in the completely shielded rudderpod as the Sol traverses the gamma
current from any local star, or radiant gas giant.  Manually adjust the
emitter flow collected in the nose mounted RadScoop, silently creating the
thrust through any of the four directional vanes for smooth and noiseless
gliding in the tranquility of interplanetary space.

Moored in space at a refueling/docking pod (sold seperately), use the Sol
for station to station hopping, phenomena gazing or just to experience the
peace of the void.

Contact Toradoch Systems for more information.

Hey Jon, Many thanks for the kudos! I would have to agree that it is not my favorite ship aesthetically, but for some reason it's really grown on me. There is something about it's simplicity that is nostaligic for me....recalls the days of watching (...) (22 years ago, 19-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)
