[RELEASE] Fireball V1.01
Posted: Tue Mar 12, 2013 10:36 pm
Due to popular demand The GalTech Industries Corporation proudly announces the release of the Fireball (Available as both a player and NPC ship). This ship is the fourth in a series of ships from classic Sci-Fi TV programmes.
The ship pictured below is the standard player model however the OXP incorporates some additional ship textures. Further information is available in the ship’s Wiki page (Just follow the link to my OXPs in my signature strip below).
EDIT - Updated version V1.01 uploaded which corrects the ship price and adds fuel scoops to the standard equipment for the player version.

The Fireball has been developed with versatility in mind. This multi-functional vessel is able to offer a combination of cargo carrying capacity and passenger transport capabilities whilst retaining above average combat characteristics.
Produced at the shipyards of the GalTech Industries Corporation in the Ceesxe, Gerete and Edle systems the ship has quickly established itself as a commercial success.
Though the standard model is offered with a basic level of equipment the ‘future-proof’ design approach caters for a full range of additional upgrades.
It is however the hi-tech escape module, (see the ship's Wiki page), which differentiates this ship from many others. Rather than providing the option to fit the ship with an escape pod and hope for a safe return to the nearest station the front section of the main ship, nicknamed the Junior, is automatically jettisoned just before the point of destruction.
The Junior, rather than being a slow unarmed pod, features front and rear lasers along with a respectable turn of speed and maneuverability. This may not be sufficient to outgun most attacking pirates but is intended to provide the ship’s crew with a much increased chance of survival.
