My entry for the Parasite Fighter Challenge! held by @Tully2001.

I think it's kind of armed probe. I quite like the StarCraft Protoss probe design. Pretty hard to made it human-friendly as well as AI-friendly at this size. Very fun challenge : )

Enjoy!

    @Tully2001 Thank you for the invitation! But I think I have to finish my work at the moment. Sorry about this!

    @Tully2001 I have to admit at the first glance on the reference plane I recognized the blue fuselage as sleek cockpit either until my mouse touched it. Nice work : )

    @Tully2001 It was actually this one. Since it's the only legal scaled part, I cherished it very much and never have changed it. It is safe and sound : )

    Good to hear. Since my last (V3) post removed the embedded cockpit, it will be used by others as a subassembly if they choose so. Concept: large bomber releases the V3 home-made missile and the view by the camera shows impact. @SimpleEric

    @Stingray I'm actually pretty satisfied with its speed around 2000mph, the islands and clouds move like I'm watching a time-lapse film and yet everything is totally controllable : )

    Agree, the modded speed is 4,000+ mph, BUT all it can hit is "air" at that Sim Speed. The post is a simple building block: replace jet with some stock SP Menu selections in order to hit real targets. It's just a game. @SimpleEric

    @Stingray Not that bad. It wobbles at 3000~4000 mph, other than that it's very handy I think. Enjoying global bombing with it right now : ) Not sure about the future plan, but still, thank you for your generosity!

    Agree. BTW you upvoted a new missile post of mine which I deleted, it behaved so badly. A V3 Fast missile subassembly replaced it; it's yours to copy and modify if you choose. @SimpleEric

    @Stingray The holder's decision is important. But to me since it's a factor I can't manage and I can't predict, I'd rather take the challenge as a party, enjoy myself on making things the best I can and play with the brilliant builds of other attendees. After all it's a game and the most important thing to a game is enjoyment.

    Thanks for feedback, yes I like many @Tully2001 builds. I've started to ignore challenges recently, since the rules say one thing, and the decision winner can be a "subjective" which entry has the prettiest paint scheme. @SimpleEric

    @Stingray Yes, you got me. Pretty confused about the question. Really glad you like this build! By the way, I'd like to remind you be hurry and be careful about the limitations. And good luck!

    @Stingray Thank you for the upvote and feedback! Glad it didn't made you too much uncomfortable. I'm not sure are you questioning who is @Tully2001 or who I'm I?
