Description
An atmospheric multi-role fighter.

The craft is in the same series as the AF05 Odin
( https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2419959154 )
and shares many similarities in its design. One might consider this a successor to the latter as it isn't controlled through a remote control block which means it has the capability to make use of the new lock-on combat mechanic not available to (or considered for) the older model.

A notable change, however, is that this fighter doesn't feature an ejection seat (which the predecessor was especially designed for). This means that it will less likely to be taken by phantom forces when damaged from the front but at the same time, lose a unique feature. This can be taken both positively and negatively.

It should be also noted that rear thrust is very limited; this was done as a space and weight saving measure. If braking or sharp banking / turning is being done, try to reorient the forward and upward thrust - there should be enough gyros to facilitate this.

Fighter armaments include 6 gatling guns, 2 rocket launchers, and bombing payload of 10 warheads.

The print is comprised of 1069 blocks totaling to be 8581 PCU; performance hit will be light to moderate.

Creating the print in survival is not practical nor easy as subgrids are involved. This is therefore not recommended but feasible due to necessary ports being conveyored or easily accessible.

Another thing to consider is that there are no connector blocks on this print - only the hinge head in the top port can be used to connect to another grid.

Scripts are mostly used for the cockpit displays, of which the following are included:

Whip's Artificial Horizon Redux

that's all fair enough, i really like it regardless super cool.

i was just testing what could be done with the design survival wise, its top tier the fact it has enough space internally for the modifications and the looks really just great can be changed fairly easily i spent a few hours on it, playing around look & performance wise.

and maybe some one will crack the code on the perfect fighter and fit everything with cool features eventually and perfect flight, one step closer with this design much more is possible.

Nicely done on this! The white trim is a good touch.

Thanks for compliments, I'm glad you like the design.
You're right that the print wasn't optimized very well and could be altered to improve the lift but I don't want to compromise the other included features like the radar and landing gears.

I've done some tinkering and brought the weight down by 3,324 kg and improved max lifting thrust by 288 kN while keeping gyro strength to acceptable levels and preventing max power draw from going over.

If better vehicle capabilities are desired, you could alter your own personalized version of the print to fit specific preferences (as you've already done).

Also I've purposely not added any engines to the print as you'd need a generator which needs piping which all need more space and weight and... you get the point. Therefore, you'll need to recharge batteries by docking to the top port and/or using the included reactors.

feel free to use the changes i made, no need to credit me for the changes if you like them use it.

some visual changes - 02 gen - more cargo - lighter design - more down thrust.

gj on the design, still a tad heavy and to many gyros.

still maybe the closest any ones got to a good looking function fighter considering people try to do skinny designs what tend to lack function if you could slide a few more down thrusters in or lighten up its total weight would be fairly decent.

and a connector or method to recharge the battery's since its battery dependent other then that i really like it ~~.
