Description
Humanity's First Interstellar War is heating up. The lack of any purpose-built warships has forced each side to improvise, resulting in most of the action being raids on each other's supply lines. The development of semi-autonomous missiles enabled transports to be used as raiders, intensifying the conflict. In response, Vanguard Industries, maker of the most commonly used cargo transports, developed a module for addition to a standard transport to enable it to serve as an escort. This is the closest yet to a warship designed for that purpose.
This is one of the first engagements such a frigate fought. While one transport broke from the main convoy in a failed effort to slingshot around the planet, the main convoy gathered close to their escort, who furiously dropped decoy flares and fired lasers. One decoy has successfully taken out a missile, while a laser has just scored a hit on its target. The other missiles continue to close...
This is still a part of my ongoing effort to try to develop weapons and tactics for a space battle in the not-so-far future. I like the starfield more in this one, but the explosions aren't quite so satisfying for me. At least this time it's the missiles getting it instead of the starships!
I never know with these: Should I be putting a violence advisory on it?
Thanks for taking a look, and for all of your helpful advice on these projects. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! ~Nefarious Dr O

Remarkable work!!! 5+!!!!!!!
Great explosions! Cool scene.
Impressive and remarkable work!
High quality and imaginative Sci-Fi art creation! To me explosions in space would be much like these are, sort of like nubula, rather than what a planet with atmosphere explosion would look like. Excellent plant, planet atmosphere, wonderful and detail spaceships, fine explosions, and superb overall scene composition!!!
Great sce ! I like the little flares and your explosions look very realistic !
This is most excellent! Fantastic job on the explosion!
