Commander's Notes
* Throttle up to 60%++. Once airborne lower the Throttle to 46% - 47% to hover.
* Disable AG 2 when using turrets while flying.
* Only use Interceptor Missiles while flying.
* Gauss Cannon is accurate beyond 10 miles.. Both turrets and main cannons are best used while hovering or in the water
* Engine exhaust is purely cosmetic :)




The general shape of this ship is inspired by the SPLIT Raptor from the game X3 - Albion Prelude.
I got stuck making the turret for almost two weeks as none of its original designs looks good on the ship. I hope you like it!
