Further notes and commentary:

  • was originally going to have 3 utility mounts

  • where's the crewmember supposed to sit? there's no room in the cockpit! uh...they hang out in the engine room, I guess

  • cockpit consoles, flight stick, throttle, and chair padding aren't present in this model

  • door at the back of the cockpit is half of the Mandalay entry airlock rather than a Saud Kruger door. tsk!

  • placement of positioning thrusters not indicated

  • placement of landing gear not indicated (forward landing gear and entry intended to be much like the Mandalay's)

  • size is a little smaller than the Lakon Diamondback Explorer

  • optional compartment scheme chosen to be suitable for a class-5 Guardian frame-shift booster, class-4 fuel scoop, class-4 AFMU, class-3 cargo rack, class-2 vehicle hangar, class-1 detailed surface scanner, class-1 collector limpet controller, and a class-1 repair limpet controller
