Rakki Point Defense Interceptor --no_payload (obsolete)

The RAKKI Point Defense Interceptor (without payload) is a small grid voidcraft armed with gatling guns and rocket launchers. Main propulsion are Hydrogen Thrusters, backed up by a few Ion-Thrusters.

This ship is full vanilla and easy to build in survival. It is fully conveyed, thruster-damage compatible and pre-loaded with uranium and ammunition. No Mods or subgrids were used in this build.


This is a more performance- and survival-friendly version of the RAKKI Point Defense Interceptor. It is basicly the same vessel, but comes without the attached missiles, making it less performance-heavy on servers and enable you to build the whole ship with a projector.


Blocks: 440
Non-armor blocks: 167
PCU: 4,615
Triangles: 572,912
Grid mass: 34,098

• Main Hydrogen-Thrusters
  
• Auxillary Ion-Thrusters - just good enough to limb home when running out of hydrogen
  
• Small Cargo-Container for pilots supplies
  
• Repair-Projector
  
• Kickstart-Reactor

The RAKKI is a short-range void-fightercraft, intended for point-defense- and area-denial-tactics. Classified as an interceptor, the RAKKI is fast and agile, but lacks fuel capacities, protection and armament to remain in prolonged combat. Heavily depending on its limited capacities, the vessel requires a homebase or mothership for resuppliement.

This variant comes without missile hardpoints. To compensate for the lacking firepower, the vessel received an additional set of gatling-guns, making it more an par in dogfights with other fightercrafts.


Valkyrja ships are know for their flexibility and endurance. But since the company expanded into the military market, the fleet-lineup always lacked a simple, yet agile fighter-concept for rapid deployment. While having multiple designes on the drawboard, the Engineering-Departement lacked a valid chassis to build upon. neither the Vargr- nor the Valkyrie-hull proved sufficant as an interceptor-platform.

At the same time V.M.E was commiting a refit on a fighter for a private customer. The new ship emerged to be a very sleek and straight-forward design, ready for various modifications. However, the prototype was declined by the customer. V.M.E eventually stepped back from the contract, leaving the vessel sitting in a dark corner in the workshop for half a year.

The Interceptor-Development-Team eventually stumbled over the left behind chassis and initiated some radical modifications. Engine-concept was switched to hydrogen and the ship grew in length while receiving a sleeker silouhette. This included sinking the pilots cockpit deeper into the hull, enhancing its protection while sacrificing some overview. Finally, the wingtips were outfitted with two hardpoints for carrying additional payload.

With last modifications and testing completed, the first generation of the RAKKI Interceptor has left the prototype-status and has been cleared to be distributed on the open market.
