Minmatar Rifter - More Functional Version w/ Mods (w4stedspace)

Description
An attempt to recreate a Minmatar Rifter from EVE Online focussing mostly on visual aesthetic after a vote on one of my streams. This is the modded and 'safe' version that looks less authentic but flies a lot better, mostly just an example of how you could convert it to be vaguely functional.

I wasn't able to get the detail I wanted building it properly to scale so this is around 1.5x the correct size but I've done my best to recreate it externally as best as I can. Internally I have no clue what it looked like so have just stuck an interior in that looked kinda nice.

Please bear in mind the goal was aesthetics above everything else :P It handles OK but has some intrinsic weaknesses thanks to it's design (putting forwards facing weapons at the rear of a ship is ....)

The vanilla only version (more aesthetically correct, less functional): https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=514981526

Here's a scale image i was working off: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J1e25gUmsME/UOgBg9iuAhI/AAAAAAAACaQ/ehyu_hk0eFw/s1600/Boing+YA-1+vs+Rifter+comp+1.jpg

Although I do believe they changed the scale of the Rifter in 2012, final size being 130m. (which is still smaller than the above)

The Rifter is about as long as the Eiffel Tower is high, going off of established EVE lore and specifications, and the "cockpit" is nestled in the very center of the ship (the bit up front that looks like a cockpit/bridge is a dense cluster of sensors). This is like a cute mini-Rifter!
