@Purrfect-Blinky Thanks for the advice, I might rework it in some way, this was just a quick build, I really love the shape of the Hawk class starships. Yeah there is a HWK-1000, actually it's larger than the 290, but I really couldn't get fluid shapes for the "head". I wanted that hawk head shape, with this cockpit it's close enough. The lore accurate version is like 29 meters long, twice the size of this. And I didn't wanted to build a sloppy and slow junk. The Hawks have their caracteristic in speed. Also there's only 1 ref image about the 1000 and I was aiming for the mechnicl parts on the sides and the bottom.

You could use some lcd panels + Cornerslights front/back of it to get a really satisfying engine glow on your pods! Very nice build, Personally I would oversize it slightly to get even better shapes :D Nice Build nonetheless, never heard of the HWK-1000, it's a much smaller ship than the HWK-290 then?

@Dwarf-Lord Pangolin Close enough, the Moldy Crow is a modified HWK-290. You might see that as well.

@TheHazelnoot There was a prototype before this, it has atmo engines 2 per pod, so 8 in all, also atmo engines instead of some H2 thrusters. A hybrid you can call it. it was real satisfying on a 0.35 G moon with atmosphere to fly, also on 1.0 G earthlike vanilla planet too. But I went for the full H2 propulsion, because I wanted to focus my work on the design. I'm not saying that the atmo parts are not looking really good for the "mechanical look" parts. In conclusion, if someone wishes to use it in survival, its parts can be replaced easily. Have fun with it, I'm not expecting a huge fan base for this craft due to its rarity, but whatever, I like it, also love to see people liking it.

I believe the engines are infact positioned along the back of the wings, but conveyoring that would be impossible without mods.

@TheHazelnoot Thank you! For it's rarity, I found only 1 ref image from the fantasy flight roleplay book, so if anything is off with the design, you'll know why :2015cookie:
