Moonbeam Class Corvette
ok... might be done, kerbo permitting.
”I’ll never bleed and i won’t ever age
I’ll never feel the embrace of the grave
Oh the fair and the brave and the good must die
I’ve seen the other side of living, I know heaven’s a lie”
Overview
The Moonbeam Class Corvette is a powerful and versatile fighter, used only by members of the Cult of the Emerald Star.
Controls
Throttle, Pitch, Roll, and Yaw all work as expected.
Activator 1 enters VTOL mode. While in VTOL mode, Trim controls Trim, VTOL controls hover, and Yaw controls yaw.
Tips
Yaw loses it’s capability at higher speeds. It’s best in VTOL mode, at 0-5% throttle. Try skimming around at neutral hover and 2% throttle, it’s pretty fun.
Hover is around this point {image here}. Optimal descend speed is a little below that point.
There’s a little wobble in flight sometimes. I apologize for this, i couldn’t fix it without compromising VTOL mode.
Armament
The Moonbeam Corvette possesses a hugely destructive armament, using some of the newest developments from Paragon Combat Systems.
AA weapons?
The Venator Directed Air-To-Air Gauss (DATAG) was created in the weeks leading up to the craft’s design. Its balance of extreme velocity and accuracy can make air-to-air combat swift and decisive.
It has a slight deficit; at longer ranges some crafts are able to deploy their countermeasures before the missile arrives. To address this issue, V-20 Velocirator missile were added. These more conventional missiles work in swarms, break countermeasures and adapt to new targets.
AG weapons
An AG variant of the Venator DATAG was added to the craft’s armament. Alongside it, X-12 Megalodon missiles were added. Despite being old, these missiles prove to be an effective weapon in air-to-ground combat.
Other
The Moonbeam uses medium-yield particle cannons that also possesses extreme speed. They are assigned to activator 8.
For heavier targets, a cascade laser was implemented. Though slow, these lasers possess huge destructive energy. Activator 2 brings it online.
Lore
Sunfish Aviation was contracted to design and build the Moonbeam for select members of the Cult of the Emerald Star. A mysterious organization,
