Hello all,
A new fighter has been put on the ULF website. The link is here:

http://www.commandercurt.net/UnitedLFWEB/quasar_highpowered_space_fighter.htm

Description:
The Quasar is considered by many Starforce Engineers to be the
Transaerospace Forces' finest achievement. The Quasar features a cockpit
made out of very high-grade trans-Ultrium, one of the strongest materials
used in modern engineering. The cockpit is unique in that it allows the
pilot to view the space above, below, and in front. Another unique feature
incorporated into the Quasar is its hidden compartment, which contains a
large SRM array (see pictures for details). The Quasar is armed with 4 LRMs,
2 Plasma cannons, 2 Laser cannons, and an SRM array that can fire up to 16
SRMs at the time. The Quasar's main drive is a Sakharov 1.1.

PLMKWYT!!

Curt Tigges

Cool. Like Paul said, the first thing I thought of when I saw it was "racing boat". The shape of it is really pleasing. I think that the sporadic black and antifreeze bits detract a bit from the model. I makes an otherwise clean design look kind of (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) also pleasing, for a ship without distinct wings. I like your combination of slopes on the top/rear to give it a smoothness and a sense of bulk in a small area. I imagine a squadron of several of these would look nice swooshing down to (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
  Re: The Quasar
 
That's very cool. The melding of slopes in this is nice, and you've done a good job on making this believably wingless. The engine structure on the back gives a nice feel to this, and the lifting part out of the compartment is just plain brilliant. (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
  Re: The Quasar
 
Those Alpha Team canopies really are a great jumping off point for a model, aren't they? With the exception of the hinging problems of course :) I think this is your best to date Curt, definately the most streamlined. You've done a nice job of (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
