Title: Wasp-class gunboat
Post by: Shrike on June 13, 2001, 06:01:00 am

The single-person Wasp-class gunboat is a common sight onboard ISC (Interstellar Security Comission) capital ships.  With thick armor and a large re-mass reserve, the rugged Wasp can stay in battle longer than many other gunships.  A single 7cm aperture plasma cannon and two turreted free electron lasers provide a significant punch, like all gunships however the main antiship weaponry is it's six parasite bombs.  The design also incorporates significant stealthing thanks to extensive use of fullerene RAM on all exterior surfaces.

That is VERY spiffy. Whats the poly count on that bad boy? Any plans to send it into FS2 or is it just for show?

SWEET design!!!!! It'll probably lay the smack down on a few shivan corvettes.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

No, it's not for FS2.   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

No shivans.

BTW, it comes to roughly 25 m long.

Not for FS2?!?!?!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) It would look totally sweet in it! Also, if you rescaled the ship x100 it would be even cooler in FS2.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
