Probably, unless the main hull part has backup thrusters it can use.

The drivefield doesn't sit directly over the hull; like I said, it's an ellipsoid shape. Take a look at the Swiftsure class I posted, it will give you an idea of what I mean.

Well now I think about it, as well as the main power systems both the FTL and sublight drive engines are all in the rear hull... so if the ship was cut in half...

Of course in this type of midspace drive you have to have a hull in each field lobe, so FTL would be out. But it's conceivable that the rear section could fly on the sublight engines. Assuming the level of battle damage wasn't too catastrophic, of course; having your entire ship blasted in half is no small thing.

I mean, disregarding the material damage, explosive decompression, and all those minor details.

Redesigned the back end; reworked the sublight engine radiator positions because of that. Added some hull details.

Nice. Fits the field, but still has the angular, stronger, and more dangerous-looking outline I like.

Glorious ^_^

Indeed. Very cool.

With all these original ships, Graham, you should create an original Sci FI story...

We've been begging him for the novel which has this universe as the backstory.

IIRC, that's what he's doing.

Nicest one yet, IMHO.

anyone good with flash? I wanna see one of these and a korrora slug it out.

I think it looks awesome I like these guys

Very nice Graham. Very nice.
