Peacekeeper Prowler Multi-Role Starfighter

Description
This is a Replica from the FARSCAPE TV-series


The PROWLER is a multi-role trans-atmospheric starfighter used by the Peacekeeper forces. Mass-produced, Prowlers can be found nearly anywhere a Peacekeeper military installation is located.

Prowlers are short-ranged, but being used for many mission types, from interception, escort, space superiority, commando transports and general short-range shuttles and personnel transport. They are commonly found aboard command carriers as part of their standard complement. They are the fastest ships in the PK arsenal. - farscape.fandom.com


Attention: This is mainly a decorative replica-item. However, it was designed to be actually combat-worthy an competed in various dogfights with other players fighters (and hold up suprisingly well). In result, this ship is balanced somewhere between visual accuracy and usability.

You CAN use this in survival, but it will be a pain in the a** to build. Also you'll have to load the weapons manually (remove the piston-heads on the guns). But the ships main hull is fully conveyered, has power and enough thrust to perform under gravity (just like the real thing).



Datasheet
Blocks: 652 (950 with subgrids)
Non-armor blocks: 149
PCU: 2,937
Triangles: 506,040
Grid mass: 68,013


Author's note
I've never been much into replicas. There are some extremly talented people on the workshop who have already made impressive recreations of pretty much every sci-fi (and other) fandom out there. So there has been no reason for me to add yet another X-Wing or Colonial Viper to that list. However, it always kinda bothered me, that the Farscape-Universe is so much underrepresented.

Eventually my serverbuddys and I had another talk about SE-replicas of famous TV-ships (and of course: which one would be superior), and in the end, we came up with a little contest: At yesterdays session everybody showed up with his own replica and we blasted the cr*p out of each other before geeking over each others creations.

The iconic Peacekeeper Prowler from Farscape was my contribution to that event and it held up suprisingly well. I had a lot of fun building and fighting with it and I hope the amount of a**kicking it dealt, made Officer Sun proud.

But since it comes with four subgrids and tends to summon clang, I'll not take it on our server. So now that our little gathering is over, this will probabely just sit on my harddrive collecting dust. So I might as well share it with y'all.

Hope you enjoy it o/

I try to build this in my survival game and well... Klang Lord said NO! multiple times. I even pasted it in and yes it does look very nice but having 4 rotors on it is just Kangy for me. Like any other ship in the workshop this one is purely for dogfights and looks. So disappointed in the workshop these days.

That's weird. Somehow I don't get notifications for this item.

Anyway, thank you all for likes, faves and comments. I'm happy to see so many ppl enjoy this ship.

@Robotminer: You're right, the TV-version provided enough space for another person. But I decided against a second seat in order to keep the dimensions smaller.

@TheGreebleAdict: I've downloaded your version prior before making my own. Really enjoyed it. It was a big help!

@SEEWOLFas: Pls eat a Snickers an read the description again. This is a replica. Form over function. It should be obvious that the gatling-layout is not suited to snipe turrets. You're free to make your own adaption of this ship to make it work for you, but honestly: There are many better options available on the workshop.

Great job!
