Named for the Egyptian serpent god, the Nehebkau-class corvette is an exploration vessel designed to operate in high-gravity environments. The shape of the main fuselage provides substantial lift, and the ship's Titan boosters provide forward thrust and supplimental lift in high-AOA flight, especially during flight transitions or on landing approach.
Named The Ferry of Acheron by the crew who recovered her, this vessel was found tumbling through space, accessway open and fully depressurized. No sign of any crew was found, living or dead, and the ship's system logs were empty as though it had never seen service. Strangely, there are no records of any known ship matching the Acheron's design, and no ship yard has claimed it as their work.
The ship was put into service as an exploration vessel, and while no service issues have been logged since it's recovery, crew members occasionally report the sound of whispers coming from the ship's accessway.
The Geitungr light attack corvette is commonly deployed in planetary surface conflicts requiring close air support. It's low profile and extreme maneuverability ensure a high survival rate among pilots and allied ground forces.
The Nathair is a vessel designed for secure and efficient transport of VIPs between systems. Capable of self-defense through a variety of onboard weapons and equipped with multi-layered shields from two clusters of Ceto-class reactors on either side of the ship, the Nathair is the first choice of VIP protection teams.
Deployed as a picketing ship for freighter fleets, the Sundvargr patrols at the outer edges of a convoy, warding off potential pirate incursions. Equipped with turbofans for slow-speed atmospheric flight, Sundvargr can also escort vessels all the way to planetary surface destinations.
Designed for planetary surveying and mapping, the Hræsvelgr loiters in low orbit while scanning terrain for landmarks and anomalies.
Hello all! Just an FYI, the same technique used for making terrestrial landing pads for Corvettes also works for space-based ones too! Alloy roof parts with an alternate landing pad placed just under their top surface. Have fun!
Inspired by Gunstar One from the movie The Last Starfighter, this redesign has a more blended lifting-body style fuselage. Let me know what you think!
The namesake of its class, Jupiter was designed for long-duration science missions, specializing in atmospheric sampling and analysis. The mezzanine deck houses a cyclonic lathe for particle separation experiments and a supercomputing cluster for atmospheric modeling.
Strix Noctus (Night Owl) was conveived as a deep space reconnaissance vessel, equipped with multiple antenna arrays for signal intelligence gathering and 6 thrusters for evading enemy interceptors.
This build is a heavily armored, tank-like transport designed for front-line supply drops. It has a crew compliment of 4 and dual medpods for extracting wounded from combat zones. Let me know what you think!
Meet the Maco. Equipped with turbofans and a high lift design for extended atmospheric flight and plantary surveying. The build process used 1/2 hab offsets and 45/180 degree hab rotation.
This is my take on a Cylon Basestar from the early 2000's Battlestar Galactica series. Made this one a while ago, when I first learned how to do 45 degree hab rotation and 1/2 hab offsets. Let me know what you think!
First time posting a corvette on reddit and would love your feedback! Built this one over a couple of evenings using tether glitching to get the angled wings. Also used some 1/4 offset for a few of the wing root sections. The shot of it in a hangar is at one of my bases on Effigy IV.
