Initially produced as a direct offshoot of the JS-29E, the JSX-41 was an experimental aircraft made by the Exeron Aerospace Corporation. Due to its TVC and RSW, it has a very fast takeoff time, however Exeron found it impractical compared to the JS-40 and JS-37, which were significantly more stable. Eventually, the EAC deemed their craft fully ready and sent three models to the EAF, though 2 of the 3 ended up damaged while in transit, and so there was only one available airframe for testing. The EAF found that the Sceptre did not fit their doctrine whatsoever and subsequently cast it aside. Despite not being accepted, Exeron instead opting for the JS-40, the ESAS operates a small number of them for training and for use at their Blacksites, where having the scramble time of the JSX-41 is more useful.
Company names on the aircraft (Macroware, Telemeter, and Reladyne) were just random names I thought up that had some level of relation to what they were for (Gun, Radar/IRST, Engines respectively), I'll probably continue to use them but mostly at random
This is not my favorite, I actually prefer the Martyr over this version despite them being very similar. I know I requested the ability to use a premade fuselage, but the only thing that stayed from the original is the center fuselage, cockpit, and gear. I forgot to add the usual AG-5 to Jettison on accident.
Activation Groups:
AG-1: Cockpit
AG-2: Lights
AG-3: Tailhook
AG-4: Arm Missiles
AG-5: Nothing
AG-6: Nothing
AG-7: Eject
AG-8: TVC
Also to note, despite having a Tailhook this is not explicitly a naval aircraft, as opposed to the 29E
