The two most prominent sci-fi builders of this site bring to you the Taipan starfighter, our first collab build! (that shameless plug though). This is my version of our collab, his will be coming soon.
The Taipan is the newest light starfighter of the Continuum Navy. Based off a prototype that was intended for civilian use, the Continuum R&D division took its frame and gave it a military-worthy upgrade. The Taipan is designed to be starcarrier-capable, allowing for easy deployment on combat operations. Its sleek and small frame allows it to be easily stored and also gives it a very smll cross-section. It is armed with fusion missiles and twin laser repeaters and is also equipped with two small-sized shield generators. The Taipan, while both fast, agile and versatile, lacks any means of FTL travel, and can easily be taken down by high-powered weaponry.

Nice fighter, the front is just a little heavy, so I fixed it on both sides from 640 pounds to 600. Nice job though!! I REALLY LIKE IT!!!
