Description
A light and cheap general purpose attack vessel, the Imp is capable of travelling in any environment. It is primarily useful as a Scout where it's excellent acceleration can be used to chase down fighters or provide intelligence on enemy positions. As it's low mass suggests, it's primary defence is speed and it is unsuitable for prolonged engagements. Against larger vessels pilots should rely on hit and run attacks with it's rocket launcher.

Author's Notes
Pilots are advised that the location of the rocket launcher means the the Imp should not lower it's nose or fly in a downward direction while firing. On the flip side, the positioning should mean it is less likely that the rocket launcher is destroyed at the start of combat, which is a problem with launchers mounted right at the front.

Use rear thrust to brake if dropping from space. Use Thruster Override to conserve fuel while leaving planets.

This ship was inspired by the Rocinante/Tachi from The Expanse.

Notes

I try to make all my ships suitable for use in survival, if you use my ships and find a bug/problem, let me know.

This is a very impressive craft. The ability to operate in an atmosphere as well makes it incredibly versatile; I can see this being used in a wide variety of roles.

I'm particularly impressed you managed to give it such a graceful shape with so small a number of blocks. This is great!

hmm...this little bugger could be used as kind of a remora for a bigger vessel, or if you put a beacon on it. a tracker.

Thanks!

@r.gibbon I was thinking of the Imp as a ship for engaging small short range craft, but yes, you're right, I've changed it.

Yet another nice ship, though I'm not convinced by the use of 'Littoral'. The word refers to a specific region of seas, it would be like referring to non atmospheric ships as 'ocean going' instead of 'deep space'. Might I submit something along the lines of 'High-Low Orbit' as the space-faring equivalent of Littoral.
