Description
A pair or Farangul Battleurs patrol a moon, looking for hidden pirate or renegade bases. The Battleur is an older torpedo bomber/heavy fighter that was once a mainstay in the navies of the Divinium and Regium but is no longer in active service. Armed with a pair of plasmatic cannons, eight rocket launchers and a single torpedo launcher with ten rounds, it was a formidable small warship for its day. Not so much nowadays, however, examples can still be found in backwater militias and in pirate bands.Related content

Pretty blocky fuselage, I don't imagine you'd wanna send these down into atmosphere. I'm not seeing a canopy. Are they fly by camera or unmanned?

It uses a force field to create a streamlined sheath around the ship to enhance aerodynamics and help generate lift.
Yeah, from the angle of the ship in the foreground, you cannot see the canopy - you can make it out on the ship in the background. These ships are manned.

Ah, fancy! Yeah, I should've looked closer before saying that in the first place, there are definitely aerodynamic control surfaces on it.
Oh, dang, there it is right on the top! Really classy look there. I need to look at things on the big screen before commenting, not just my phone... xD

Thanks for the kind words. It's a little hard to see in the background - especially if you are looking at it on a phone. I will admit that the angle of the ship is not ideal, but this image was done for a downloadable e-book in which there are plenty of different views of it.

I really like the design on this one- it has a very boxy/modular/durable look to it- all the hallmarks of a useful vessel that would continue to work well after it's prime. Nice work mate! Cheers!

Yeah, boxy looks strong in my book. Fewer fiddly bits that can break off. Thanks very much for the feedback. Have a good one.
