Type
Sidewinder Mk I
Role
Scout, snoop

Description
This is my first attempt at seeing what the Sidewinder can do with a bit of engineering. Actually; a lot of engineering. To make it really work took squeezing out every last drop. Of course, with these small vessels things have to be kept tight and this vessel does a surprising amount of stuff. Ripped out all the SC assist and docking computers and it can carry a few very useful items. I've been using this to do a lot of scanning ships and wakes and picking up materials and also, the most surprising, is taking on some much larger vessels and if not destroying them certainly managing to get away in one piece. It can stay very close on the tail of most ships. Viper MkIV though - that's this ships nemesis so far.
