Auto Credit Based on Zachareee's EaKV/MKV draft 1
Initially inspired by the MKV (see below), but ended up somewhat like an intercept-EaKV-MKV mashup.

Kudos to @JoshuaW for the code that switched vectors in world-space to that of the vehicles-space.

A similar system in action (Youtube)
Unfortunately my build only vaguely resembles the MKV and EaKV.
Throttle is proportional to the altitude above-ground-level that the interceptor will attempt to achieve,
Pitch and Roll control the forward and sideways movement. (though the actual interceptor does not have rearwards facing thrusted and can only go side to side)

I just made the hunter killer version
Please someone make infinite fuel
great the concept idea to this Vehicle is very similar to NASA, Apollo11- "Lunar Landing Research Vehicle" : see here at Youtube - "LLRV Testing Contributed to Apollo 11's Success"(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=091ezcY-mkU) - or this rare footage with Neil Amstrongs Crash on LLRV. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OXk4RKZhaY)

LLRV - propulsion consists of various steering nozzles, which should keep the vehicle stable in the atmosphere.
@denialofservice sure
@AntiSocialTacoAlt bet, want me to link you?
@Backup yeah. Take a look at the yt video in the desc
@denialofservice go ahead!
With your permission can I make it so that it can hunt you down and kill you when spawned as an ai?
You did great with this:)
Is it supposed to run out of fuel so fast
I can't seem to be able to get the exhaust colour a nice clean white like it is on the MKV, so a dirty pee colour will have to do
