Overview
A fragile, light fighter.
Griff's version
Rumour has it that the original design blueprints were misinterpreted by the shipyard crew giving the ship an odd, 'back-to-front' appearance. It has two missile bays. This version has a hyperdrive.
The Decals are alterable: see Decal - you will also need to download Griff Shipset Decals to run this oxp
Iron Ass version
The feisty Gnat is an annoying fighter that may as easily be in the escort service as the piracy business. Highly manoeuvrable craft, its obvious blemish is the lack of a hyperdrive.
Murgh retextured the vanilla game ships, as well as many of the old favourites, including this gnat. You might wish to load up all of his retexture oxp's (Iron Ass vols 1-5) as well as his Iron Ass version of the Lave OXP. By the way, the humour in his Iron Ass Missionaries OXP is quite brilliant!
