Taipan Civilian (Collab with Ephwurd)
"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.

I can't believe that I didn't upvote thing when you post it....that's sooooooo coooooooool!!!!
oh man, IT's SUPER COOL
One of the best aircraft ive seen! A bit slow for a modified starfighter though
Cool design, as always.
Nice take on our build! I love it!
Nice! I would love to do a collab with you if you want...
Ok thanks @spefyjerbf
@AfterShock I'm not the one to ask about the cockpit. @Ephwurd designed the cockpit.
Can I use the cockpit on a spacecraft they in building? I will give you credit :) @spefyjerbf
@Viper No, Ephwurd calls his fictional universe the Continuum.
@spefyjerbf is the beginning of the description a fallout 4 reference?
I really like the cockpit detailing.
Np! @spefyjerbf
@MechWARRIOR57 @TTHHSSSS Thanks! The desc has been completed.
