Type 85 - Mantis

Auto Credit Based on 324's Cockpit Plates

For a civilian craft, the Mantis has impressive firepower. This was because the manufacturer, who has since been terminated, managed to use a loophole in civilian spacecraft design code to mount a decent amount of weaponry onto the craft. The resulting Mantis looks, and is, aggressive. Modified versions of this craft are extremely popular among pirates.

This was a small build on my iOS. I used the cockpit plates for some minor detailing, and more importantly the cockpit block, which is hard to identify. I'm especially proud of how the craft looks, while having a wonderfully low part count.

    @spefyjerbf one other thing: how do you make the cockpit tiny? I know it must be xml but you made it on iOS and cockpits can't be made into sub-assembly?
