Description The Dragoon lancer class single-seat fighter was developed as a multi-role attack fighter for many of the large corporate and royal battle fleets as well as orbital resource stations. Ideal in both offensive and defensive capabilities, the Dragoon boasts a single ram ballista that dominates the ship's frame and is capable of penetrating the shielding and even (sometimes) the armour of larger warships under ideal conditions - at intermediate to close ranges. Although powerful, the ram gun has a long recharge cycle, with pilots having to save up a charge for up to a minute before firing. It is also armed with either two or four fixed medium tactical cannons and four gimballed fast-firing CIWS rap guns as well as twin missile launchers with four seeker rounds each. It is well shielded with two bucklers and an omni shield, while also being fitted with high grade battle armour.
Although the Dragoon is usually deployed from larger carriers, it is fully capable of undertaking inter-planetary and moderate depth deep space missions and often escorts patrol fleets in frontier systems.Β  Β

Pilots would often fly straight at imperial bridges hitting them with the ram ballista they earned the name head hunters because they would often target the ships housing the commanding officer.

Looks like the wraith Dart fighter from Stargate Atlantis. Looks really cool though

It may seem like it, but perhaps I didn't explain its capabilities clearly enough. I will re-look at the description and tighten it up. Thanks for the feedback, though. I really appreciate it.

CrossDevice In reply to therealraxxis [2017-10-19 21:51:32 +0000 UTC]

Well I guess its partly context.. not knowing whats normal for this universes ships, a fighter armed with 4 cannons, 4 CIWS and a anti-warship gun sounds pretty heavily armed : P

therealraxxis In reply to CrossDevice [2017-10-19 23:21:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the feedback. Most of my ships are pretty heavily armed - but then they're pretty heavily shielded as well. Also, each weapon class has its strengths and weaknesses and knowing when and how to deploy each would be crucial. It might seem overpowered, and while it IS well armed for a fighter, it is not over-armed in this universe.

This is the first time I've ran into your art, and I must say, I'm really impressed! I also have a question: is their any statistics on this crafts dimensions?

therealraxxis In reply to Ascending-Elysium [2017-10-18 14:39:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot. At the moment, no, but I will be developing it further with various other views and a full set of stats. I guess it would be about 24 meters long or so, if that helps. Appreciate the comment.

That's a lot of power in a little package! Wonder where they stuff the reactor that must power all that kit!

Brilliant work as always mate, cheers!

Thanks for the comment. I think at this stage of our technical advancement, having relatively small fusion or other exotic power generation systems that pack a huge punch would be par for the course. I am assuming that, anyway. Thanks again.

Thanks for the comment. I am sure you could if you give it a try and practice a bit. I look at a lot of other peoples' work and feel the same way (wishing I could do what they do), so it's something you never get over, I guess.

Thanks for the comment. Sorry, my Chinese is not very good, so I'll answer in English. This is a concept design and not a scene, so there is no setting. I will be working on including it in a space scene in future, though.
