@suicideneil Granted, it's rather useless as a missile (though more useful than as a probe, since we don't have any actual sensors apart from a camera to strap on the probe) but it sure would be cool.

@jarppi- yeah, it does feel like an oversized cruise missile really, though stiucking the warhead on the outside isn't too effective unless the target isn't armed, and small grid warheads inside don't do that much damage. It does a fair bit of damage just used as a kinetic energy weapon though...

Just add a warhead on the front and it's ready to go boom.

BS-71- I did play around with that of concept, but it became a faff having enough room for components in both section, plus you end up with the rear end just drifting along and being a waste of resources. This way, it's just a plain old drone/small ship, no messing about.

One feature I'd try is making it more like the probe in Homeworld, where it can only deploy once, like maybe the back detatches afterwards?

love it

Looks good!
