Controls: these VTOL plane easy to control. Just be jentle with the slider =) If you, for some reason, need roll boost - push 1.
Little story: This unmanned spaceplane was rebuilded from first drone scouts made by DAI in their cure searches. Based on different cariers they form main force of Exiles fleet. There are three versions of it: Mk.2-S scout and target pointer; Mk.2-I interceptor with powerfull for his size energy weapons(6 autocanons with different power level); Mk.2-R builded for 2-nd's DAI Fleet 2-nd Attack Group needs. It can carry almost any rocket that could fit in his two missile pods and have 2 energy autocannons in wings lefted from "I" version.
Pros&Cons:
- It is light craft, it can't take to mach damage like Explorer or Defender.
- It has great firewall and EMP protections, but, you know, any protection can be breached.
- Short range and low missiles amount for the single unit.
+ Maneuverable and contolled by great battle AI.
+ There are thousends of them, becouse of easy construction and cheep matereals in fuselage. You will never see Drone Mk.2 alone.
+ Can land and take off almost anywhere. Even Explorer can carry one of them on his top after some modifications.
+ In combination with space carriers it is devastaiting like a swarm of locusts for the farm.
