Maybe the wings are for taking off and landing on a planet with an atmosphere.

i just had a thought: how would you land on a planet with no atmosphere? it may actually be harder.

To radiate the exess heat from the reactor/engine - in space there is no other way to cool your ship and no energy source is 100% efficient.

All future spacecraft will have some sort of wing-shape structures. Just take a look on the NASA concept nuclear-powered probe for Jupiter/Saturn survey !

Nice work, AT! I like the blue one the best; it just looks meaner then the red one does. And if it is going to be a machine race would be more fitting, IMO.
