Description
The Sparrowhawk Fast Attack Craft is a hydrogen fuelled short ranged direct attack vessel designed to destroy ships larger than itself. Although designed for space combat, the Sparrowhawk can operate in all environments, although pilots are advised to manage their fuel carefully while within gravity wells.

The Sparrowhawk's integrated ECM system and speed allow for increased survivability while within enemy turret range and it's weapon placement allows the ship to keep firing despite any superficial damage to the bow and the decoys within. With a competent pilot, a single Sparrowhawk can disable and destroy turret defended ships several classes heavier than itself, although the ship may require significant repairs afterward.

The vessel has no jumpdrive or reactors making it cheap to build and somewhat disposable, at least for well established factions.

Due to it's size, the Sparrowhawk is most effective in groups. A pack of these ships is a potent threat to a single vessel of comparable mass.


Instructions
Toggle the Repair System on via Toolbar Page 1, No. 3
Point and shoot at the target, aim for the turrets.
Strafe up, not left and right. Keep the nose toward the enemy at all times.
Fight until the enemy is destroyed or you are. Fortune favours the brave.

When leaving gravity wells, use thrust override to conserve fuel.

Hi there, love your ships.
I did an updated version of the Sparrowhawk with the new Warfare update weapons. Is it ok if I post it?

Do pirates use this ship? Was it requested for the conflict? What about the guilds?

This ship is breathtaking. Like most of your designs, it has a good amount of fuel, is fast with well balanced thrust, is loaded with firepower, and looks sexy AF.

Nice job man! I'm loving this new split bow with decoys style you've got going on.

love the main fuselage, but (i know its user error) the nacelles on the sparrowhawk and sabertooth catch missiles if you're forced to turn while/after firing. i moved the decoys to the side foils and chopped off the forward nacelles and replaced them with connector based small grid gatling guns, those c-80 rippers by Johnathan

@bruin_o9er, RashTactics - Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you are getting some use out of it!

Great work 5URG3, i love these ships. I use the "Sabertooth" on a server as a transport vessel for ice and ships. Keep up the great work!

From one ship builder to another. What a well designed ship. I was surprised by how much of a beating it could take for as light as it is, plus only using hydrogen.

A few new Industrial vessels and a fighterbomber are in the making. :)

@Taidyr - Thanks man, and cheers for the thumbnail tip, I'd never thought of that. :D
What's next from VME?
