New Fast Watercraft Design: Contractors wanted.

17-01-2004, 14:18
The Sea-Dagger is a small, jet-powered catamaran designed to partially fill the role of naval attack aircraft. Although slower than most aircraft, it is more economical and much harder to detect. It derives its proulsion from pumps similar to those used in jet-skis. These are powered by jet engines which also contribute some thrust. It can currently only opperate close to shore although there are plans for new design of carrier, which can acomodate both air-craft and small watercraft.

ooc: thanks. The images are still being a bit tetchy, I think that's more to do with geocities not liking out-hosting stuff.

ooc right-click / show image seems to sort most of it. Do you know anywhere that hosts images properly for free?

villagephotos.com is OK for that, sometimes it'll randomly shut down though.

ooc: assuming someone buys this in-character, I'll do them a few more high quality renders for a shop-front with the boat painted in a colour scheme of their choice (with flag on tail fin)
