Concept for an Irra Replacement Model

[Tenacity]

Here's a second concept, similar to the first but longer/skinnier and with the idea of moving fins taken into account.

The first picture shows the ship in cruise mode. The bomber-like fins are on attached to the rear section along with the engines, while the forward section contains 3 spike-like appendages and the 'mouth' of the ship where the forward gun is located.

The second picture shows the ship in combat mode, with the forward spike-like appendages and the rear wings extended outward. The forward appendages are meant to sort of shield/protect the mouth of the ship when it's in cruise mode (or out of combat, though that cant really be represented), but open for firing. The collapsing wings/spikes when in cruise mode also helps with travel through asteroid fields, though in combat the ship would end up snagging on rocks pretty bad.

This image details the parts used (the spikes, engines, and wings). Again, it uses bomber-like wings that have a split or gapped front section creating the double-spike effect. The engines are still pretty much identical to the marduk's intake tubes, only reversed. The spikes on the front could be quite similar in design to the midsection spikes on the marduk or the current wings on the irra.
