Tri ceratops Heavy Fighter
design by Robert Boleyn
Here is my attempt at a 50-ton non-jump capable fighter, for your
enjoyment/amusement. Comments are welcome, as this is my first
attempt at a small craft design (for some reason ships with 40GW+
PAWS just seem more exciting :)
I designed the Triceratops using acceleration based on mass, and
using Antti's newest spreadsheet, so some details probably don't
quite match FF&S e.g. the hull uses power.
