Drone Challenge Entry 2- Shadow

7,855 Ariathe  8.2 years ago
Auto Credit Based on mikoyanster's Drone Challenge [Finished]

My second and last entry to Mikoyanster's challenge. Shadow is designed to carry its payload in the body, and as such utilizes a missile bay, increasing its stealth properties. Shadow is intentionally nose heavy, which was done for the AI to benefit from the maneuverability. The internal missile bay is designed to automatically open once thrust is activated, so that the AI wouldn't fire a missile inside, although this can be disabled to decrease drag by deactivating group 8 before launch. Outfitted with a simple, unique livery.
