    Yeah, I have to test the craft on an iPad, and anything over 300 parts might cause it to lag. @SHCow

    I've changed my mind, you can enter a fighter/attack plane if you want. @Blue0Bull

    I'm on an iPad, and Apple is pretty limiting on stuff like that, I might can figure something out, but we'll see. @Redstreak45

    Current (2010s), and a gunship would basically be a plane with a large amount of weapons and guns I guess. @ZephyrSystems

    Almost done! Planex Ironically already had a fighter in the works when this popped up, so we made it VTOL, just gotta finish that and some tiny details and it's done! Expect it in 0-4 days.
