F63 Condor short range fighter blueprint

28. September 2016 CMDR-Arithon Blueprints, Game journal (0)

I decided, since I was going to have to draw every ship, I might as well do a ship-per-blueprint document first, then a combined document later.

That way I can set myself a realistic goal of "a wallpaper per day"!

Here is the blueprint for the Core Dynamics F63 Condor short range fighter.

First introduced in version 1.4 for CQC - added to main game as ship-launched fighter in version 2.2.
