Background:
By the 22nd century, thanks to AI and extreme performance, human pilots became redundant to air forces worldwide, and drones soon ousted fighter planes as the dominant force. Such is the case with the Pigeon, a cheap, simple, aerial reconnaisance+ground attack drone meant for mass production.
Features:
- Biofuel scramjet engine
- Antimatter drive (AG1, use below 20% throttle)
- Plasma Cannons
- 12.7 mm Minigun
This needs to take off mid-air

@ChallengerHellcat Depends on what your goal is.
45 upvotes is looking juicy! @ChallengerHellcat
Ok. @ChallengerHellcat
Probably around 88-90, will confirm later. @Sm10684
don’t forget my decals! I should have seven. @ChallengerHellcat
So, what’s my final score? @ChallengerHellcat
@SledDriver any suggestions?
oh sure, will do @Sm10684
Btw, a few suggestions for improvement-
Driver visibility is horrendous- can't see terrain below 200m away
Would prefer if vehicle was narrower- scale was not very realistic (this will deduct 4 points from design category)
Roof looked tiny, but again that's probably just me or that's how trophy trucks looks like irl
front end looked a bit bland save for grille and lettering, would prefer much sharper, sculpted headlights (vertical would fill out the very high and flat "cheekbones" and fascia)
very good job on suspension, but rear live axle was a bit too live- bounces the car around a lot
narrower wheels will be appreciated too
@Sm10684
When I XML’d The predecessor, it disconnected the engine. Do you mind if you reconnect it for me? @ChallengerHellcat
And the hood didn’t work. @ChallengerHellcat
oh @Sm10684
I changed the background color. @ChallengerHellcat
Why did you remove it? @Sm10684
Just posted it!
