PS-42 Armadillo Gunship
Blue Phantom Chronicles
Description
The PS-42 Armadillo is a heavy gunship of approx. 80m length, large enough to carry a small strike force and enough firepower and adequate armoring to hold its ground and make up for its below average speed and maneuverability.
The Armadillo is often used by mercenaries or (well organized) pirate groups to act as a mobile command center. Its large cargo hold also makes it a formidable raiding crafft.

Dev notes & Origins
This model was derived from what I now call the Riquanee Bulldog, which was sort-of supposed to be a heavy fighter or shuttle.
As I did for several other transports I modeled a full interior for this model, to get a feeling of scale. This may or may not make it into the game at some point but at this time is not a priority.
