A new personal model I did...tell me what you think.  (Just a quick idea I came up with and sketched out during class right after finals :).)

Looks very clunky, I prefer sleek modles myself... Maybe smooth it out a bit more? Jet line it?

Behold the already dubbed Scorpion Class Reman fighter from Star Trek: Nemesis -

For this one, the clunkiness works. Leave it like that - maybe it's a mining vessel or something, rather than a fighter. If it's a fighter, maybe it's a really old one or something. But for the look, I like it like it is.

I definitely like the look. It works well for an older-model security fighter, probably used by corporations to keep pirates away from their installations.

I'd disagree there. If I'm leading a pirate group, I'm going to value swiftness and maneuverability as the highest qualities, not firepower. My goal isn't to to lead a full-scale invasion or destroy anything (after all, the more I destroy is more stuff I can't steal), it's to get in, grab shit, and run like hell. If a corporation is trying to ward off pirates, they'll do so with speed, not with firepower. It doesn't matter how big your guns are - the bigger they are, the slower they'll turn. The slower they turn, the faster you die so I can get my booty.

Okay, that just sounded bad. s/booty/loot.

At any rate, that's why the secret service are in the highest shape and don't carry rocket launchers and high-caliber rifles - they have to respond *quickly* and *effectively* to threats. Same goes for fighters trying to ward off pirates.

You try to scare me off with that ship, I'll be tickled, and you'll be dead.
