Arrowhead - small multigunner

Description
This is a light-fighter multigun ship. Very small, fast, and functional. ;D I think it might be great for balanced PVP. Should be survival compatible too.
It was my attempt to make something as compact as possible and cool looking, while still covered in a nice amount of light armor ramps. It turned out to be VERY fast and controllable, even with just 1 gyro, so it's a lot of fun to fly around. One of the smallest armored and fully functional ships I've made, or seen. Has 1 Industrial Thruster, and plenty of azimuth thrusters.
I was also testing out various weapon mods, so this small fighter packs a punch! Comes with 4 gatling guns, 2 scatterguns, and 1 centered autocannon. Don't like the variety? Should be easy to change them to all gats or whatever, if you like that better. There's also a small armored connector port ontop of the ship, to refuel and reload ammo.
I decided to make this compatible with the new Projector block too, so it's got one inside! :D This makes it easier to repair after battles. I also made sure the pivot point is in a good spot in the back, facing the right direction. In the back of the ship I have a rotor with no rotor part, so you can back the ship up and mount it on a rotor part, to make repairs automated. I might make a repair/building machine for this later.
I'm terrible at paintjobs, so I left it gray.. :/ Looks best in light grays or whites, dark grays for better asteroid camo.. Re-coloring it is easy tho.

Mods used (if I remember them all): Armored Ramps, Azimuth Pack, Industrial Thruster, small landing gear, scattergun, autocannon, conveyor expansion and maybe cargo container hubs.

Feel free to modify this all you want, just gimme original credit if you do something with it. Enjoy! ;)

ah, yeah, I agree. When I originally uploaded it, I tried to paint it, but changed my mind and put it back to a gray color. But I think my default colors were messed up, cause it ended up a little darker gray. oh well, still looks great in a "stone" gray color. :D

I'd actually advise against painting this. It looks very sleek in grey/silvery. More metallic, like an arrowhead would be.

I'm also currently working on an even smaller, but even more well armed light fighter (less focus on looking cool), so small it can be rapid-printed on a larger ship, to replace fallen fighter ships on the fly. :D

Just a note, I've found that while the rotor in back is good for a docking point, for rotating to see the underside/repair, it's not that great for projector-printing. I had to remove the rotor in that case, and save it with a few dummy blocks in that spot, instead. Automating projectors is a little tricky. lol
