Greetings,

After being wowed by the entries so far, here is my touque thrown in the ring...

The ISF1-Permafrost  (Ice Superiority Fighter).

The stalwart of the IP Defense Force, this interceptor can either skim the
glacial surface using the magnetic emitters in her main mast, or employ the
high yield pulselift generator and vectoring grav cones for operational
ceilings of up to 1000 feet.

The IPDF has armed this craft with an array of devestating weapons.  The
plasma bolt cannons use recycled mass from the engine core to emit
auto-repeating rounds capable of penetrating the densest armour.

The main offensive weapon are the 2 hardpoint mounted ski-by-wire IOD
(Independent Ordanance Delivery)projectiles, or 'snowpedos'.  Once locked on
the target either by visual confirmation or remote intel, these units are
dropped to the surface, deploy their stabilizer phalanges and actively track
the target for ranges up to 120 miles.

Also a strategic fighter, the Permafrost carries a compliment of
auto-deploying Shard proximity mines that can lay a 'red line in the snow'
to stop all intruders.

On to the show....

PLMKWYT!

PS.  Apologies for the smudging on some of the shots...having some issues
with the camera.
Nice!  I really like the 'mine' mechinism.  Looks very ice-planety.  Nice to
have a Ice planet fighter, finally!

Thanks John! I would have liked the mines to be a little more elaborate, but again the lack of Ice Planet acceptable parts really narrowed the choices. Still, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 26-May-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)
