Artist's Comments

I guess this would be it

Added a chrome ladder! Lawls... Changed the forward sensor array. Made the plane look cleaner and brighter =) but still has it's scratch-off paint...

Basically a light fighter armed with a light two-stage gauss gun. Firing rate is roughly 140 slugs a minute and is accelerated using an optically triggered two-stage coil. It's built in the future not too far from now so it still retains it's angular look. It's propulsion is provided by ion engines which deliver an output equivalent to the electrical input meaning that the Thunderbolt requires a power plant capable of delivering immense amounts of energy. The wings are not reasonably aerodynamic enough for atmospheric flight because my initial intentions was for the Thunderbolt (which was inspired by the Babylon 5 Thunderbolt Class Starfury) to be a space craft and not an atmospheric craft.

Some MAJOR design faults include a landing gear meant for VTOLs when the craft isn't capable of being one.

Thanks for dropping by! =)

yeah the original one had alot of burn marks and used blue stripes instead of red. red just seemed more fearsome than blue LOL and i cleaned it up but left the scartched off paint on the craft.
