While I was working on Project Talon last night, specifically with batteries to try to make the weapons system, I was thinking about escape shuttles and fighter ships. Before I went to sleep, I sketched down some ideas for fighter ships. I worked off of one of those rough sketches and came up with this:



Pretty cool, eh? That's exactly how big it would be in-game, 3x3 tiles, which is the minimum size of a fighter because otherwise the pilot would be exposed to space! I called the two lasers that the ship has protruding from the hull "Lance head lasers" because they look like a medieval lance.



The ship originally looked something like this when I was first designing it, because I needed to seperate the different tiles when I place them in the icon files.
If you take out the details, it would look like a pair of pants.
Nah, that would be more of a boomerang.
Well this is significantly scaled down, and the tail is replaced by rocket boosters.
