Tinkering with Sketchup using a mirror image technique that I SHOULD have been using all along. This was so much easier, quick to do than my usual ships, though there are some drawbacks ... like not using grid - so no accurate 'to scale' representation for easy deckplans later. Artistically it flows a lot better though. Definitely something I want to use for either super huge, or very small vessels (cockpit only, or so big you'd never map the damn thing for an RPG.)
Mostly a concept sketch for a potential headache - Nonstandard ship size for Traveller - so lots of interpolation ahead, downswept wings (always cool to look at, always a pain to justify if they get in the way of landing - swing wings, folding etc. notwithstanding).
The Skipjack is offered as a void-skipper for the new century, sold to neighboring star systems and mercenaries offering escort services.
Its not intended to fight, though some small provision was given for self defense, as a last resort only. Though it isn't statted out, it'll probably have provisions for extended voyages, and a small away vehicle, like a 5 ton or smaller runabout or grav vehicle. In addition to its stealthing abilities, its silhouette is large enough and its energy signature can be manipulated such that it can also masquerade as a much larger ship, in the 400 ton range, to passive EMS scans.

Thankies - yeah, 'rounding off' in sketchup can be tricky - I may look into some of the plugins that add polygons to selected objects - They tend to magnify the size of the program pretty fast though. Beefier tail booms'd be easy though. Cant see it well in these images, but the back was pretty much undeveloped. Was a fairly quick little experiment I didn't want to go too crazy with.
