During a discussion about Gimbal-Lock, we came up with the idea of a bubble-fighter style spaceship which could navigate space with a rotating cockpit.
The Story:
==================
The Galactic Order of Federated Systems is losing the war against an invading fleet of spaceships. The enemy is hindering supply lines by destroying warp gates throughout the system. In order to re-establish communication and advance the enemy lines, you have been tasked to fly with an experimental point-to-point jump module into enemy territory, deploy and defend warp gates and escort our troops and supplies. Your Zero class Gimbal Fighter is agile, fast and devastating in the right hands.
Good luck, and godspeed.
