SV-Kestrel

Description
Updated BP:
http://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1109748783


Update 04/26/2017
1. Added a 2nd Fuel tank
2. Added a 2nd O2 tank

Yes, I made some room on the inside to squeeze in the stuff - let me know how it goes.

==========

A fighter-bomber SV I've created as a much more forgiving alternative to the multirole SV-Shrike.

Designed as a forward attack-craft, the Kestrel emphasizes forward-facing pilot protection while providing good speed and handling for defending itself from potential aerial adversaries.

==========

I consider the Kestrel my toughest SV creation that will fit inside a 5x3 hangar door while providing adequate handling and firepower for virtually any POIs I encounter (fortresses included).

As-is Configured
4 Railguns
4 Gatling Guns
30m/s+ any direction

Soo with the mess of BPs in 6.x, I won't be able to update this item (literally removed from my folder).

So I may be looking at another workshop item release instead =/

lol ty, i knew you could use that for accessing turrets and such but didn't think about using it for fuel tanks ect. Great SV btw.

@gunblaze81
you open the control panel by hitting 'P' or 'O' depending on your keybind

how do you access the fuel containers and cargo boxes? I see the door in the back for the 02 but nothing for the tanks / cargo and ammo box

@That One Guy,

I suppose so - my issue is it is really difficult to define early, mid, and end game SVs.

I could convert this platform into an all-steel level 7 variant with only gatling guns and go from there.

======= Side note ======

If we go by level...

My personal preference is to have a literal tiny level 7 SV, hop on a CV and rush for erestreum around level 10 to 12.

Otherwise, everything about the game is really resource and time limitations.

Afterwards its pretty much explore and mining.

Reason I recommend duplication is people can use 'this' variant as a starter version, and build second version or update first version for lategame needs :)

If I can make a recommendation? Make an exact duplicate if there's a copy paste command, and switch weapons to something more powerful. Foster it off as a Mk 2 Variant :)

Well, I did some flight testing for a few hours - theres a lot more large drones on planets on6.0.x.

The gatling guns feels a bit underwhelming in the presence of those larger drones.

I'll think about either making a new version of this or simply update it with plasma guns.
