Six years later, and this is still my favorite basic starter design ... This boat brings fond memories of all the boats that came from it, like my original PBR Streetgang ...

I have very heavily modified Hyperion's Comet working with Blackhorse.
Just made it public, now that I have Hyperion credited with the original design.

I highly suggest not editing it any further, as it might implode.
It is now an 8 slot within the same frame. I have done the framework trick on it and amplified it. This has mainly been due to wanting a frame that I could charge into Sathaerz "Ferocity" mod with, and this frame fits the bill if also running scaling turrets mod.

The turret locks inside the front cowling are for single-slot lasers in order to create a "spinal laser mount". Fits 16 total lasers on the nose. Has fantastic maneuverability and speed, and is effectively a flying brick.

@Hyperion, I hope you don't mind. Love the Comet.

I put functional turrets on mine, extended the forward length to house more weapons, and added torpedo slots & storage. This is my standard starter, and I've flown it (very fast) through the core ...

Wish this design was updated to use current turrets and turret blocks. :(

Very good value for resources spent, scales up extraordinarily well and easily converts to Trinium and Xanion.

The only thing to really be aware of with this ship is it suffers heavily from a lack of Inertial Dampeners and various internals (such as the energy storage) are better off repurposed for other things, as well as it lacks the Crew Quarters to really sustain larger scaling.

I currently use a heavily modified Comet Class as my 'Mothership', with the sides trimmed down to make room for an external Cargo Module and two Fighter Hangars. At 1.5x scaling with Trinium plating and Xanion Internals, it's a real jack of all trades ship for Mid to Late Game.

I used this ship as my starter ship and I must say it is serving me amazingly well!! I have slowly tweaked it slightly as i have progressed. Added a thin layer of inertial dampeners (space bakes) to the bottom of the hull and blended it in, rounding out the bottom the hull nicely. Also squeezed in a strip of titanium batteries on the narrow front half. Replaced the generator peeking through the hole near the bow with a sheild generator, still plenty of power and almost doubled the sheild strenght. The initial design is both beautifull and elegant in allowing you to tailor/edit it to your needs or playstyle while still performing very very well even stock. Keep up the good work, I am thinking about ugradeing to your Demios class here shortly.

Can't wait to see what other creations you crank out! Really like the attention to detail in the couple youve uploaded!
