Description
(v2.16) 57k material cost fighter that usually stays above 1500m and fires down with its 2x long range laser two-axis turrets and 3x missiles. Shields set to laser absorb (Use purple ACB near chair to change shield modes), LAMS, and smoke for defense. Active Radar, Passive Radar, Retroflection, IR, Wireless Snooper, Coincidence Rangefinders, and Laser Trackers for detection.

Out of play map speed of 134m/s, and 3km max altitude.

Turned out to be way more effective than I expected! Most enemies can't even hit it due to speed and altitude.

Updated to improve speed/altitude, add more fuel, add rear facing coincidence rangefinder, add ACBs to increase battery recharge rate when out of range of enemies, add ACBs to shutdown jet engines when too high up to provide thrust. Replaced older Blueline variant engine with an Emerald variant engine for more power and efficiency.

As always, any constructive feedback or questions are welcome. Check out my other uploads at: http://gtm.you1.cn/id/Mortazel/myworkshopfiles/?appid=268650

Have fun!

Makes sense - I tried to use RTGs for everything when I first started...as heck - no fuel! Well, that didn't work out to well...

I highly suggest a good refinery to go with fuel engines to make them even more efficient. Check out this hovercraft with a built in refinery good enough for an entire fleet (or more): https://gtm.you1.cn/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=795822798

Have fun!

I have a strange desire to have everything be able to last forever without needing to re-supply, though that was before I looked at your emerald engine line, THOSE ARE CRAZY GOOD!!!
I will still probably be obsessed with rtg's wish it was more like a real nuclear reactor and we had to design it like the other engine types.

Thank you! Well, it could be possible, but it would use more material for fuel and contruction. Would be easier with the hover sniper, as there is more space to work with. Don't like fuel engines?

been wanting to make something like this for awhile, I really like your designs, do you know if it is possible to do rtg/steam with electric engine conversions with these? mainly looking at this and the sniper hover, haven't tried converting either myself yet though.
