"Competing designs for a Hyperion replacement, the Arctic was considerably smaller than the Tempest, but due to inovative design features, could still carry two dozen fighters and a powerful weapons array. The Arctic won the competition, while the lone example of the Tempest is employed as a technology testbed and may still see production in some other role besides a Hyperion replacement."


Both ships are from Hyperspace (Lars Joreteg).

Wadda ya think?

hmm.. the tempest looks like a hyperion / warlock hybrid, while the arctic reminds me of both Space 1999 and the Rebel Blockade Runner in star wars.

I haven't seen a good non-cannon ship from wolf's shipyards EVER

maybe if they made some professional 3D models instead of that gif crap

I have a certain appreciation for what they do. Most of their designs are pretty off the wall and somewhat bogus (yay, lets make a Warlock that is 10X as long and just keep putting gun turrets on it) but the sideviews are pretty good and I'll give them credit for it.

The Tempest is still the one to go with. It looks better, definately looks more canon than the other, and its got a 3D model to work off of.
