Ship
M5 Starblade
18 October 2026
M5 Starblade is a versatile racing rig. I expect it can be repurposed into a fighting machine with little effort.
The M5 Starblade came out of my trying to design a ship based on a Hydroplane. As I played with the design, it got softer and softer, and then began reminding me of a particular race car from my childhood.
This is what I settled on.
There are two styles, one with and one without a "trunk". I feel I prefer the one without the trunk as a racing starfighter. It's probably safer that way, as the player really doesn't need any unwanted guests stowing away in it.
The massing model and stand-in:
Drag to turn the model. It turns on its own when left alone.
Go!Go!Go!.
