Erebus
Bruce wasn't happy. "The Batwings you've made so far work great," he said, "but they're too... pretty. I want something that strikes fear into the hearts of my enemies. Something ominous and forbidding. Something that looks... angry."
"We can do that, Bruce. What color would you like it?"
"Black. With black highlights."
"Can do."
"By the way, what's with the wind noise in your cockpits? It's so loud I can't hear myself think."
"That's how they come from the manufacturer, Bruce. But I'm sure we can do something about that."

The Erebus features SledDriver Industries' new launch boost system, giving it phenomenal acceleration at takeoff - so that despite weighing 300,000 pounds and having over 400,000 drag points, it reaches nearly its top speed before it reaches the end of the runway. Another innovation is the quiet cockpit, which cancels out all wind noise, leaving only the soothing roar of the engines for your listening pleasure.
CONTROLS

@DarthAbhinav Hmm. I've read posts on here by people who say they can run 550-part builds on their phones. Maybe your laptop needs a better GPU? But the SP game engine isn't optimised very well, that's a fact.
Oh shi-oot. I'm not scared of spiders at all... AT ALL. @SledDriver
@Maxwell1 It's the rift from which your non-inertial nightmares come flying out.
Great Scott! This looks like a tear in the space time continuum!
@SledDriver now I feel dumb forgetting that cameras do that lol. A quiet cockpit would be a nice change :)
@DemonSniper8 I can add a quiet cockpit to any of my mobile-friendly planes that you like.
@DemonSniper8 Thanks, glad you like this build. The quiet cockpit is just a camera and one tiny fuselage block for the crosshair.
Could you put the noiseless cockpit on some mobile-friendly builds? Or is that what causes the high part count? This is EPIC by the way
@dootdootbananabus A very angry Batman.
@SledDriver it's batman
@dootdootbananabus It's not a banana bus...
=WHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT IIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSS=
Thanks, @JMicah4 @cupa60
cool
wow, how, this is, incredible
@SledDriver Fair point....
@TheNightmare811 Thankee.
Noice.
@KSPFSXandSP "Pluto" just doesn't sound as good as "Erebus."
@SledDriver How about calling it "Pluto" or a different god of darkness?
@SledDriver np
Thanks, @TTHHSSSS @harveyrobinson8 @Blue0Bull
Thanks, @TheBlueRobotProduct. If you look at it head-on it looks a bit like a Rorschach inkblot as well.
Thanks, @Stingray @MAHADI @FGW2014
@KSPFSXandSP I wasn't referring to Mount Erebus, but the original:
Erebus n. (Greek mythology) god of darkness who dwelt in the underworld; son of Chaos; brother of Nox; father of Aether and Day
"God of darkness" is pretty cool, I think.
