Mmm. :twisted:

The design has its disadvantages: having the lasers mounted on the nacelles means that often craft with a small cross section can fit between them. :?

Yes, I had to scale the size of the Cobra bit down a little before it would fit.

one would suspect that would be necessary ;)

so, are there any plans to release it to the wolves (us)?

Yeah, it's got code that's new in the OXP though, so I'll zip it up when v.1.62 is released.

The Burmese Python was an attempt to update a classic, it failed really.

I do have a Hawk in my playing-with-shapes box though...

Ah, so I assume that (in canon) that this is the test bed for what became the Imperial Courier/Trader/Explorer?
The act of talking b*ll*cks whilst waving one's arms about wildly is referred to as testiculation.

No. Giles made it up as a hybrid. And to show me rotating nacelles and totally show me up... ;-)
