Echo '47 - Goblin (with firework guns)

The Goblin is a compact parasite fighter to be carried by heavy bombers as escort. It's designed to be launched and retrieved mid-flight through a docking mechanism, however this is proved to be too difficult and risky to be practical.

Pure stock, no mods, no DLC. 40 parts, root part is the cockpit.

[R] = guns guns guns
[Brake] = brake + airbrake
[Backspace] = docking hook (decorative)

- It's based on the McDonald XF-85 "Goblin"[en.wikipedia.org].
- It has firework guns (muzzle velocity = 900m/s, ammo = 32x2, with improved accuracy, takes out almost anything with 2-6 rapid two-shot bursts)
- You have to fire rapidly to blow up buildings. They can take much more damage if you shoot one burst at a time.
- I could automate firing through KAL, but I don't feel like introducing DLC for this simple function. Just spam [R] or modify it yourself.
- I have to give it two engines with 88% thrust limit for quasi-realistic performance, since the real XF-85 is very light, but this craft is more than twice as heavy.

Wish you enjoy and happy brrrrrt
