I thought a while with Simpleplanes 2 being announced, I was probably gonna wait till that releases to start building things again. Then when prowling through my saved aircraft, I found this aircraft, albeit in a very unfinished state, sitting there. So I decided to give my Arwing a run for it's money and build a Wolfen, which is a lot rarer of a build to see on this site.
And here I am, crawling out of the bunker after seven months to post one thing and then disappear again.
Anyways, the Wolfen Elite All-Range Fighter was a spacecraft built by the MacBeth Weapons Factory during the events of the Lylat Wars. It was ordered into development by Emperor Andross to produce a fighter capable of matching the capabilities of the Star Fox team's Arwing fighters. Seeing exclusive use by the Mercenary Star Wolf team on behalf of Andross, the Wolfen and it's pilots became stiff competition for Star Fox.
The Wolfen carries an armament of twin laser cannons, as well as secondary missile and smart bomb launchers. The launchers, unfortunately, are not included in the Simpleplanes build, as they are rarely seen in use.
Incorporated into this build is a boost function, Yoinked from my ASF-03 build. The booster is activated by the fire guns control for easy use. The booster has a limited charge, which replenishes when the booster is not active. This replenishment is not capped as an error on my part, but it is an error I do not know how to fix. This means you can store charge for all eternity and get near infinite boost, making the limited pool completely pointless
However, the absurd maneuverability and stability through the roof means the Wolfen will behave much like how youd expect a spacecraft to fly.
Have fun!

@5cmPak38aufPzKpfwIISfl901 agreed
@LunarEclipseSP it is
It's one of the more well known ships too
Looks like something from StarFox, or maybe is it?
very nice job, not enough StarFox builds here imo.
@Kerbango yeah I wouldnt mind too much either. the rank is ultimately just a number, cause Ive been here nearly 6 and a half years also
Funny to think thats a hefty chunk of my life
@Griffon1 I mean It wouldn't be bad if they reset the scores for the new game. set everyone back to zero, JUST for ␠2️⃣, they could even have a special color to designate veteran status. Then we could link back to our profile here, or even have that in a Veterans section on ␠2️⃣ site. (in the joined 6.9 years ago, 202 followers, POSTS, COMMENTS, FOLLOWING section.)
But now I am playing devil's advocate.
I'M SEEING KNIVES IN THE AIR OH MAN
@Kerbango yeah I heard about the capatability, but the though of having more goodies to toy with is a thought I cant ignore.
But on the topic of the site, I read that its gonna be this same site but expanded for the new game, so if Im to assume correctly, I reckon everyone would keep their scores and such. But I could always be wrong
Hey, I heard that SP builds will be compatible with ␠2️⃣.
Hopefully they merge the sites, this one with ␠2️⃣. (I want to keep my score, or at least have it reflected they we are SP veterans. @AndrewGarrison ␠2️⃣✈️)
Oh and since I have your attention. When? Please?
oh shoot , I forgot, I can't upvote on this account. need to use my main account.
