Hey everyone!

I've been working with Cignal again to create deck plans for the Raptor. It was wonderful to see the room layouts I'd envisaged, especially with the Raptor playing such a large role in the story. 

I hope you like them!

That is awesome, would it be possible to get an SVG copy? Or even better, have you sonsidered selling posters for some these schematics?

Very cool.... However, don't the winglets get in the way of the port and starboard docking collars? Or is there a sort of unmentioned extending tube?

Muledrvr

Yeah, my bad. The green was difficult to see at first. Bad signal area, and next message never posted.

You bring smile to my face! Thanks! Happy 2019!

Good line drawing! Not what I thought it would look like but I will always keep that image as my littoral head cannon. Looking forward to more art! Hopefully we can get some more John and girls working next to regular human or a joint species Spec-ops would love too see our little gray bois* riding the rock dudes* into battle. (*I am shit at spelling and don’t even want to try and spell their names lel)

I did not realize the raptor was so big lol. I was picturing something a little smaller than a stargate Gould cargo ship

Awesome, as with the last one, Cignal. My only question would be in having the remainder of the turrets on a pintle/swivel mount of some sort, as I seem to remember that they could be set to auto-fire defensively, and had been used like that while Jade was in combat with fighters and missiles. Keep up the awesome work!

Carl Doerter

I love it!! My wife, however says this confirms that your (our) story is science fiction as one toilet will never do for 8 women. LOL LOL Thanks, this is great.

2026-09-07 11:00 Tefler, I love the design and think it great. I do have a question on Inertia Negation Column to work correctly it would have to be set along the long axis from an engineering standpoint.

Will this be in the next book edition? It would be nice to have a few art pieces. Thank you sir for all your hard work, it is appreciated

No under carriage turrets. So ground defensive fire while. Hovering is not going to work. Fields of fire need to cover bottom and top. I would have a top center chassis and lower center chassis as well as gun mount point for rear deck. And for the wing chassis side turrets I would want those in pairs over and under.

Awesome schematics. Also YAY, Tefler is back. Soon ch115 will be final version, e-book 4 will be released and my holiday TSM deprivation will finally be cured

I think that is why the Millennium Falcon's gun arrangement is so cool with overlapping fire around the rim ("the money lane" if you've read Brian Daley's novels which describes how the Falcon's quad turrets should work in combat). full coverage (apart from fire lockouts where the cockpit and sensor antenna are) I am currently building the giant 1/43 falcon from the magazine subscription....its spread all over the living room......lol

I thought the Raptor was capable of firing at pursuing craft. Between the engines blocking the side-mounted torrents and the back fin blocking the top-mounted turnt this would be almost impossible.

Why does it have wings? I always pictured it like a cross between a puddlejumper from stargate atlantis and a F-117 Nighthawk.

tony

i personally wouldn't mind seeing an animated web series in a similar visual & animation style to the clone wars show, hell i'd bump my tier up to more than it is now to see that.............just saying............and tefler,welcome back. i hope the holidays were restful for you and yours.......

Damian Wright

Given that it's roles are space combat and ground support (given the uses we've seen so far and the fact that it is supposed to be able to an assault ship/shuttle?) then I'm surprised that there isn't at least a pair of defense turrets on the underside of the wings, or mounted in some other position eg outside edge of wings so as to have far greater coverage area than the turrets on top. I can imagine the damage of the chin turret hitting harder targets while two more turrets are independently attacking other ground threats on the way in. I rather like that idea :P

tony

i seem to remember in 1978 or 79 on nickolodian(sp?) they had a show where they showed comic books and had somebody narriating(sp?) it, it seems like this story could be like too, i really really don't want to run it thru a text-to-speech program, doing that i'd have to go thru and do an edit so that word spellings would come out sounding right and i'm too lazy to do that.......sorry all.......

Sir_Yiffington

Wow, that's actually really good. Almost exactly as I imagined

anyone heard from Tef about the E-book or the next chapter for that matter?

Bruce Ramey

Any chance of an update please?

Taco1085

cant wait for the next chapter... going to be great i know

Joshua Joshua Enger

Jedi Khan, if this went to audible I'm thinking lorelei king.... she's awesome

David Shmilowitz

In your schematics, the wing mounted weapons are on top of the wings, but in e-book 2 it says that there are "Two more Gatling Laser turrets set underneath the backswept wings", implying the weapon hard-points are underneath the wings as well, rather than above them. Did Dana change the positioning at a later chapter, or are the upgraded tachyon cannons still supposed to be underneath the wings?

Nibbles

The drawings of the raptor remind me little of Thunderbird 2 except for the guns. I imagined the space craft to have more rounded profile and not all angular and straight lines everywhere.

Steve

It's been a while since I've read the relevant chapters, but didn't the raptor have two lances/laser cannons as the main guns?

tony

thought the raptor was armed with laser weapons not Tachyon
