The Hammerhead monoplace fighter is a small antigrav. ship, quite fast and maneuvrable, but also very weak. it is armed with a turret packing two heavy machineguns, and suits well for police patrols, tho it's also available for public.
It's not FS2 related, and the design is loosely based on a ship that appears a couple of second in an episode of Cowboy Bebop.

It looks like a cross between a hi-tech zepplin blimp and an Invid.

Looks like an obese dragonfly with an attitude problem and the punch to back it up.  

It's kinda hard to make out, actually... those curves would make a Vasudan engineer envious...

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Wow. Venom, your modelling skills rock.   However nothing can save that design. That thing is ugly. Well modelled but ugly. Are you sure I should watch Cowboy Bebop?

"box" design, if you prefer. I don't often make organic, rounded stuff.

Its definately different.   You did a wonderful job on it too. It just doesn't appeal to me aestheticly. On the more technical side, its well modelled.

Keep at it venom, try for something a little familiar to look at i can think of one or two things.....

Woh, you're actually the first one to think that  
Anyway, this thing is just an atmospheric vehicle in my own universe, and is really just a "detail", nothing important. So I don't really care if people like it or not, and, honestly, I can't really bother working more on this.
