Looks great, but to be a true the ferret it should be around half that size. Otherwise it's a light-medium fighter, and not a souped-up patrol fighter from hell :drevil:. IMO

Actually a Ferret should be probably a quarter her size.  In fact a ferret is too small for a normal human to really fly.  It was originally going to be the Icarus, but after seeing the new pictures of it at CIC, I decided to rename it.  Because I wanted to someday to the Icarus correctly and since Starman referred to it as Ferret mk II I decided to go with that... It was either that or a Pregant Ferret  :lol:

 :eek2: That's a BIG fighter!

all fighters are big considering that they need to provide the pilot with atmosphere, have a jump coil (or the Freespace equivalent which I can't remember), and have the computer systems, the weapons systems that can be switched out, enough room for plenty of munitions, little maneuvering thrusters all around the ship.....that about covers it.

yea, fighters need to be big when they're in space....

About 20 meters long in FS

A man can fit in one of the Ursa's 3 side mounted guns

The Ferret looks like an X-Wing with bent wings, and without half of the lower wings... I'd hate to fly up against one of those...

I'll give you a warning Mathwiz, it's only about 20-25 meters and is a light fighter  :D

This was the original

Hi.

Those top wings are waaay too big.

The actual Ferret (not you!) had much smaller ones.

Well if you don't like the name Ferret Mk 2. I'd love to know some alternatives... hmmmm Wild Weasel sounds good.

Wasn't the Wild Weasel a pre WC1 ship design from the novels?
About the design itself...looks very flat but I like it.
