The Idris was great fun to build and ‘engineer.’ The requirements Chris laid down were a long list of often mutually exclusive design points, but I find that having to package a lot of tough elements in an aesthetically cool design can really make for a neat ship. The Idris has room to dock two single-seat fighters: Aurora, 300i or Hornet-level.Ĭargo Capacity: 100 tonnes (Idris-P, 120 ton)ġ x Class 6: A&R Plowshare Anti-Ship Missile Launcher ( ASML)ġ x Class 8: Klaus & Werner Zestroyer Spinal Mount Rail Gun Aftermarket kits, initially produced for the UEE government seeking an improved patrol/protection plan, are available to militarize the Peacekeeper versions.
