Taipan Civilian (Collab with Ephwurd)

Auto Credit Based on Ephwurd's Taipan-Class Starfighter WIP

"Collaboration redefined."

This was a collab with Ephwurd. He provided the cockpit, and we worked together on the mandibles. We then decided to make two variants of the craft. Ephwurd made the military version, and I made the civilian variant.

As the Continuum designed starfighter, the Taipan, was unveiled to the public, a variety of private firms rushed to make a civilian variant of the craft. This version became the most popular. It trades effectiveness and compaction for luxury and fuel efficiency. This model comes with a low yield energy weapon for self-defense, as well landing skis for short runways.

Tips:

Retracting the landing gear will give the skis traction.

Landing with the gear retracted is the preferred method of landing. The skis will slow down the craft automatically.

Don't worry, those landing skis can take a beating.

    @AfterShock I'm not the one to ask about the cockpit. @Ephwurd designed the cockpit.

    @Viper No, Ephwurd calls his fictional universe the Continuum.
