> Starhawk-Class Medium Attack Fighter

> It's particle engine is fine for gunboats or capital ships, but in the

> The LLC is a common weapon on many ships, however it is barely powerful

> the design of the Starfury, an upcoming fighter.
> http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2471
> Starfury-Class Medium Defense/Attack Fighter
> While not released yet, the Starfury will incorporate the classic large
> cockpit design from the Starhawk, with twin SW engines on movable pylons.
> And movable fins mounted in back! Look for this fighter soon! Currently a
> scout team is trying to smuggle pictures of the Starfury in production-look
> for them soon on Brickshelf.

> CAPITAL SHIPS:

> Devastator-Class Heavy Cruiser
> The Devastator is StarCrafter's sole capital ship. Power comes from a
> fusion reactor core located in the base of the aft turret. On the turret
> are two SR-28 short-range focused lasers, two plasma throwers, and one small

> LLC's. The Devastator is crewed by one pilot/commander, and one gunner.
> The entire gunner's windshield/cockpit lifts up to provide exit for the

> Devastator in an emergency, or one as an observer. Overall ,the Devastator
> makes a very good convoy protection ship, or anti-Insectoid cruiser.
