NEXUS Fleet Systems Small Craft Prototypes & Fleet Interceptor Small Scale Prototype

Description
The three small craft (Halaron, Vesper, Artificer) are the finished Mark 1 designs.


Halaron Bomber:
The Halaron uses it's forward thrust to quickly get missiles to their targets. Utilizing a landing gear channel on the underside of the ship, the Halarons can carry small-yield missiles.
Armament:
2 Gatling Cannons
2 Missile Launchers
1 Torpedo Channel

[The Halaron is currently only configured for Creative Mode (no conveyors)]



Vesper Long-Range Interceptor:
The Vesper utilizes its extra armor to protect itself from environmental hazards during recon missions. While it is slower and less manuevable than a fighter, the Vesper class can be counted upon to return from a scouting mission.
Armament:
2 Gatling Cannons
2 Missile Launchers

[The Vesper is currently only configured for Creative Mode (no conveyors)]



Artificer Engagement Fighter:
The Artificer was developed to combat the high cost of ship production as well as the evolution of new enemy fighter craft. Artificers sacrifice armor for a higher degree of manueverability and firepower.
4 Gatling Cannons
2 Missile Launchers

[The Artificer is currently only configured for Creative Mode (no conveyors)]



[Images of the Altair are not shown in the previews]
Altair Class Prototype Fleet Interceptor:
The Altair was developed to combat the use of blanket fire by presenting a shorter profile to enemy ships. In addition to the side cannon banks, the mass-produced ship will include tiered point-defense turrets, an underside gravity cannon, and a small docking bay.

Stats for Included Prototype: (Prototype was built using small ship parts)
Armament:
28 Gatling Cannons (14 per side bank, somewhat configured for the conveyor system)

(The prototype was built simply to help shape certain areas of the planned ship in my mind, the finalized version will be a far nicer large ship.)


[Stats for future Large Craft]
Armament:
Side Cannon Banks
15 Top side Point-Defense Turrets
8 Underside Point-Defense Turrets
12 Side Cannons (6 Per Side)
Underside Gravity Cannon

[Armament on completed craft may vary from planned specs]

Additional Features:
Underside Docking Bay (may utilize moving doors)
Raised Armor plating around crucial systems and command center
Missile Storage Center


The shape for the planned Altair is based loosely on the USS Defiant from Star Trek.
[As of May 5th, the Altair hereby is the predecesor to the soon-to-be Seraphim Class]

I've just take them for a ride and they flows pretty well, if you want a little challenge try to build with thruster damage activate. S.P. Gyros are very heavy if you can delete some that's another way to reduce weight.
