BTW the boar is an Attack ship, she's a little slow but well armored and
meant to knock out heavy targets. Boars are usually sent in an invasion to
support ground troops. She's got two blast cannons for air to air defense
but not the best of fighters.  It's the twin barrel sonic cannon stored the
belly of the beast which Boar is known for.  Swooping silently towards a
target and obliterating it from low altitude.  Additional thrusters built
into the body allow hovering if pounding a target is necessary.  Boar's
small frame and high agility makes it ideal also for moving inside a capital
ship's or space station's shields and hitting the ship from a very close range.

Mark, very cool.  I love the bananas on the front, that's nifty.  And the
underside cannon is well constructed too.  Great use of SNOT overall.

Something about the engines doesn't agree with me tho...maybe it's the
trans. colors or the radar dishes.  They just don't quite look like the
belong.  But, opinions vary.

Overall, great ship.

(...) Thanks, I was thinking of course of the A-10 warthog after I got the engines attached to the feuselage (sp??) And since the Warthog isn't exactly a pretty plane, I thought this ship needed to be a tad, ugly. Big funky engines seem to do that (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)
