Description: Got problems with pirates? Want an ace up your sleeve? Well, my grease monkey and me come up with a novel solution. We call it the “Derringer.” She’s cobbled together from standard shuttle parts and heavy hull plating. The gun’s a scratch built, starting with that high pressure pipe every ship’s got sitting in their engine room. My mechanic friend here’s gonna post his “blueprints.”

We sized her to fit into half a standard cargo container. Use a standard hatch and she’ll marry up with other ships if need be. She opens from the aft, and getting into the pilot’s seat’s a little tricky, but you get what you pay for. We built a couple hardpoints on the hull in case you got some good crybabies—those puppies had ought to keep missile lock from happening. Truth is, she’s got enough thrust to manage about a thousand pounds of ordinance before she gets squirrelly . . . more squirrelly.

Recommended parts lists are with the blueprints, as well as some variety. The two we built so far have put us back about 150 credits each and taken maybe two weeks apiece to build, with three of us working on it.

Lastly, if the Alliance catches you with this thing, that’s strictly not our problem.
