I am so sick to death of my dissertation.

But I'm sure no one wants to know about that. You remember that cargo ship I posted a couple of days ago? Well, this is the ship that's going to blow it into tiny little pieces. The 'hero' ship of my friend's story, the Rapier performs in space more or less the same function U-Boats served under the Atlantic. It's basically a giant laser with a stealth ship attached, designed for sneak attacks on unsuspecting enemy vessels. The central sphere houses/is the transference engine, a big space teleporter that flips the ship over vast differences. The rear section is the reactor and the main drive, the forward section is everything else, including the munitions bay, housing the secondary weaponry, a couple of missle launchers. And of course the 750 mega-joule laser projector.

Oh, and while they have artifical gravity, it's set up along the central axis, so technically you're looking at it on its side, as the crew stand...but not for how it actually flies...oh, you'll see when I get the cross-section finished.

I'm rather proud of this. It's about the most detailed and well-thought out ship I've ever built.
