This thing is THICK! This is the Dolch VPAC 386 with the rare Back Pac option (see what they did there?). The Back Pac adds three additional slots and added power supply for the extra power consumption. The amber screen is a wonderful added touch.

@larrynguyen0096 Ultra hard scifi space combat really is quite boring beyond a pure technical level; there's a reason the "Space Navy" is so popular. You get fleet actions, giant battleships, formations and maneuver. Real armed combat in space would be two tin cans in orbit shooting KKVs at BVR.
