Making wakes in a no wake zone
 
#17
Putting down the base for the Superhawk class so I don't forget and for crit.

Name: So Much For Subtlety
Base Hull: Superhawk class, custom design based off the Thunderhawk Gunship of Warhammer 40K fame. Built 2014

Drive Type: Reactionless Thrusters powered by Hydrogen.

Armaments: None currently.

Defensive systems: Directional Deflector Shield, creates a
very shallow bowl of energy in the path of a attack. Only one can be
active at a time, also doubles as the heat shield and cargo bay force field when the bow loading ramp is open in space. This leaves the ship open to attack.

Current Owner: Ken "Dakota" Olds

Home Port: NA

Crew:

Ken "Dakota" Olds (Owner Capt.)

Quirks: (Still planing a third.)

Does this paint job make my hull look big? The Subtlety has a unusually large sensor return for it's size and no known stealth system can hide this short of hiding behind a planetary body.
Ciaphas Cain: The nav computer will attempt to plot it's way around areas of conflict in such a way as to not look like it's cowardly.
Adeptus Mechanicus: Repairs have to be done with lots of chanting in pig latin, mist, and handwavium. Failure to do so results in the fix item working at 50% efficiency and it breaking down in short order.


Desc:
The Subtlety is slightly wider and longer then the Thunderhawk Gunship(THG) that it draws it's base design from. A enlarged forward bay makes up the lower deck with bow loading ramp that holds roughly six vehicles of roughly car size within it. The rare RV, Semi, or bus can be parked inside it as well. There is a pair of airlocks towards the rear of this deck on ether side. The upper deck contains a much changed cockpit compared to the THG having only a single seat set  in a slanted bay window style canopy. The ship uses fully holographic pilots controls with what would have been the consoles being the computer core. The space behind this is setup as living quarters for the pilot with full toiletries, sonic shower, and fold out bunk. A door set to one side leads to a common room for passengers. A floor hatch set in one corner leads down to the cargo hold while a door leads off down a hallway down one side of the ship towards the stern airlock. Doors along one side of this hallway leads to passenger rooms with the life support and fuel tanks at the very end just before the airlock. A crawl space built under the stern end of the hallway gives access to the engine pods from inside.
The engine pods themselves differ a lot by being larger and in cased in a square housing that also houses the rear landing gear in the bottom. The main wings that branch off the engine housing are design to fold up to reduce width while docking. The area under the rear section of the ship is for external cargo such as up to four standard containers.
