Thanks fellas!
Both good and concerned comments are all welcomed! As for the details, I wont add them until get the final shape and dimensions set in stone. Both sets of wings will end up somewhat like the wings on the GVF Shu. It will also have the Blue Reactor glow too.
When it comes to the details, I'm looking at the time line after the Capella went Supernova when in my view, the Vasudans and Terrans realized they must completely put aside any and all differences once and for all or both races will face extinction if they try to go it alone. So this fighter incorporates advance technologies from both races even if it's designed by the Vasudans. The smooth curvy design is Vasudan, the front tines are too, the engine and mid section are influences form Terran designs.
As for the gun layout, keep in mind, when in combat, you do NOT want all your guns on one spot on your fighter. If you get hit by one lucky Shivan SOB hot shot, he or IT can take you out of combat real quick. So I took the new Heavy Cannons and placed them on the main wings for that reason. In combat, you would engage the enemy first with the four standard guns under the cockpit and these usually are enough firepower if equipped propertly. Once you start getting strikes on your opponent, then you engage them with the Heavy Cannons on the wings. because of their hitting power, 2 or 3 hits usually is all that's needed on fighters. Bombers (which is what this Interceptor is designed to go after with the heavy cannon) you can engage right away with all guns.
Surgical strikes on larger ships can be done for turrets and sub systems quite nicely with the heavy cannon.
Today is my 50th Birthday and I'm taking a break from anything serious in life and just gonna have F U N!
I picked up my brand new 2011 Mustang last Tuesday and this was my first weekend I spent driving it and man it's quite fun! Also bought myself a brand new Nikon 3100 camera and just got back from the Museum of Flight here in Seattle, Washington State USA. Camera works beautifully and made me one happy camper.
Life is good!
