Descripción
Loattlemer has traditionally built starfighters and other starships, but for the 4022 Epsilon Grand Prix season they decided to try their hand at a racing ship. They would build the LoS-11, although during testing problems with the cooling system and desire to add in a couple additional systems would force modification into the LoS-11B before the season began.
The LoS-11B "Resolute" uses Loattlemer's new and patented "RadiFabric TM," a type of flexible radiator panel, almost like a "metal fabric" for cooling. These flex a bit whilst moving. The LoS-11B serves as something as a testbed for this style of radiator, with the intention being to fit it to new Loattlemer designs and refit it onto some older ones.
These radiators prevent overheating on the AE46K engine, allowing the team to run their engine at a higher throttle for longer than many competitors.
Owing to their history as a starfighter manufacturer, the LoS-11B has overall good handling characteristics and good responsiveness, and is quite well-liked by it's pilot as well as the various test pilots and racers from older seasons and/or other teams that have had the chance to fly one.
Even so, it remains to be seen if the newcomers can compete against other experienced teams, like Spectra, Sunrue-Lonne, Sentry, and Iziplao, or if Loattlemer's stint with racing will be short-lived and unsuccessful.

I am also impressed by how much you got with the cockpit from just a simple wedge piece that can't even be painted like a normal part!

Excellent work. The radiator 'fins' are implemented better than anything else I've seen before. The paint is bright and unique, and matches the ship's sharp shape
