I expect it's a design as you go build. No oics yet as he doesn't have a real starting point yet. :hmmm

Those are really some bad-ass looking ships Terry! Man, they would be fun to take into a galactic battle!

I have a feeling this is going to turn out like that Squadron Eagle Best of Show.

Thanks Duke!

An idea is beginning to form....it's the cockpit I'm having trouble getting my head around.

NOVA STAR PROJECT "THE CAD DESIGN"

Ok after much thought, sketches, and part evaluation I have arrived at the final concept design.

Let me introduce you to the NV-S1 NOVASTAR. A bubble type fighter having 4 wings in a "X" configuration with a plasma cannon on each tip. Pilot controls will be suspended inside a clear aluminum alloy sphere affording the pilot a nearly 360 degree field of vision. Power plant is the Quasar 6 hyper drive delivering speeds up to twice the speed of light. Sheilding is provided by the Direct X rotating shield generator which is able to position shielding for as many as 6 points of attack. Shields rated for both plasma and lazer weapons. Navigation is provided by the Quicksilver 10 navigation system which is able to calculate jumps of up to 4 parsects. The NV-S1 will be the cutting edge of star fighters for years to come.

Concept renderings(final design subject to change)(power plant not included)

Cool beans. You going to 3d print this? Would be cool. Also with a big canopy in front like that the whole cockpit could be on a gyroscopic race allowing level pilot repose despite ship position. Thinking all sorts of neat stuff here.
