[SENB] SA UT-3c Neo Leo Slick

Description
System Aerospace.
Where's Innovation, Without Inspiration?

In the year 2062, the NEWSSC put out a general contract to develop a replacement for the ageing "Leo" Tactical Transport. Ultimately, System Aerospace won the contract with the UT-3a Utility Transport VTOL. It would later be given the name "Neo Leo," as it represents a new era of utility aircraft. The aircraft managed to fill many roles within both Military and Civilian operations. In 2070, the Covert Division of the NEWSSC requested a specialised model of UT-3 for special operations. One that was quieter, lighter, faster, and equipped with wheels and machine gun mounts, the final product was the UT-3c "Slick" model.

While very different to the active military models of the UT-3a/b, the UT-3c became popular in private markets, and as their customisation options vary greatly, System Aerospace was given permission to place the "Slick" on sales boards. Almost immediately the craft was adopted by Private Security companies and some Police Departments in the outer colonies, some even being partially navalised for operations on ocean worlds, some such examples up for sale, right now!

These particular aircraft were originally adopted by the NECO for operations on Earth, as a stopgap while they developed a replacement for their own aircraft. When the craft where finished and put in service, the UT-3c's where put in surplus, and now are being auctioned off. If interested, please contact the System Aerospace liaison for NECO, bids start at 154,000 Credits.






==After way too long==
So it's been a bloody while, yeah I know, but more recently I found better scripts, got them working, did some MUCH needed changes, and I've come out with something I'm much happier with, now I do plan to do more models of this, both Civilian and Military, and I've already got a reworked S&R model that just needs cleaning up. What I'm hoping people will find is that this thing is even BETTER to fly, as with the proper needed scripts, you don't need a PHD to learn how she works, and, you can vector left and right! She still takes a little getting used to, but does fly so much better than the first version I released and considered "done." Most likely I'll eventually hide the old RT-3a, and post the new one instead, possibly in bulk with more models if I get those done in a timely manner.

This craft has been a trying project, hard to focus on, hard to get an idea of what I wanted and how I could do it, and having it on-and-off in the works for nearly two bleedin' years probably wasn't helping, or useful. But here I am, with something much better than I could've anticipated all that time ago. I hope all of you enjoy this thing, as practical or unpractical as it is, and have fun with it! Hell, use it as inspiration for your own craft, take the scripts and put them in your own projects, I can't stop ya :P
