Introducing the UIW’s Mainstay Mark I-A Fighter Craft.
The Mark I-A features side-mounted frap cannons, four powerful sublight engines,
a level III EMP shielding unit, and a forward mounted sensor/targeting unit that
rivals those found on larger ships. With her powerful engines, and under the
steady hand of an experienced pilot, the Mark I-A is capable of flipping front
to stern in .2 seconds.

The Mark I-A’s primary mission is the destruction of enemy fighter craft,
although versions are in use (in some cases, for “other” purposes) by the Marine
Corps, Planetary Air Guard, and the Border Interdiction Force.
This MOC originally began life as an attempt to replicate a Colonial Viper.
Things sort of moved along from there. The nose & canopy hinge design were
inspired by Jon Newsome’s “Crusader” fighter.

| (...) The lines near the front are nice and smooth- those curved pieces around the nose make for a great mostly-studless ship, though it kind of clashes with the angular shaping of the rear. The greebling between the top engines is decent, but seems (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
