Mandible-Class Starfighter

[MassEditor]

 

Another starfighter, this time a little more alien-y! Certainly no Vic Viper, but perhaps a cheap baddie that can be easily and endlessly killed by one! The NoVVember challenge was definitely an inspiration for this.

 

The Mandible-Class Starfighter is an alien vessel capable of both atmospheric and interstellar operations. Pilotless, the Mandible is controlled through the alien hivemind but can also behave autonomously if connection is severed. Multiple weapon systems allows the Mandible to engage a both light and heavy targets. Furthermore, the fighter is capable of acting in an anti-capital ship role. Using its claw-like wings, the Mandible attaches to a large vessel and overloads its antimatter engines, creating an enormous explosion.

 (Thanks for looking, feedback always appreciated!)

Beautiful ship! It looks both insectoid and organic. Very alien-y.

Cool shape on this one.

I like that it gives me the sense of being sentient or something, as your description points to.

Great design! I love the black teeth on the inside, really helps with the organic feel.

Really cool build but, ew it looks like a nasty bug and I hope the good guys come and squash it soon. I like all the spindly spider-like arms and protrusions all over it.
