Nice! Looks great. Found this while looking at the fighter review!

Go for it, bro. Posted it to be used.

Much better! So, what I like about your ship... It's vanilla, has a simple yet great looking design, it's fast, and packs alot of weapons in. I've been looking for a small fighter ship like this on the workshop but couldn't find anything that fitted that criteria. I guess I have to look no further. Great job.

Only downside...It's a bummer you have to manually load ammo as opposed to a connector but understand given the small size of the ship.

Would you mind if I used this on my dedicated server as my persona ship? The only edit I'd like to make is to add a projector of your blueprint inside the hull. That way, I can repair it easily.

Just released the V4 model, which corrects the loading issue, added a beacon, and reinforced the wings.

Note: 1st time priming of the large reactor will require hand grinding the cockpit-side small cargo container and gatling to access the reactor loading port. (Conveyors do not function without power. Once power is activated all conveyors will work and be accessable from the outside.

Like it. How the heck do you fill this thing up with ammo without tearing it apart?

Full Review at The Fighter Review: Issue 6

Aesthetics: ★★★★☆

The Hornet has a deceptively heavyset build, which nicely disguises the tightly packed systems of the vessel. The livery is nothing too adventurous, but is better than the default light grey.

Systems: ★★★★☆

The ship features blowout acceleration and with a gyro ratio of 1:3.5k kg, it feels much lighter than it is. The ship's reactor, guns, and storage are all conveyed, which is excellent, but there is no surface access, via connectors, access doors, or otherwise.

Armament: ★★★★☆

The ship has a decent mix of armaments, with four cannons and two missile launchers. The networking of said cannons and the capacity given by a medium cargo container give it enormous endurance...

Overall: 4 out of 5 ★.
