Baron Mk 2 - Atmospheric Heavy Gunship

Long overdue for new variants, the Baron gunships series receives it's first atmospheric capable version, unlike it's 'older brother', the Baron Mark 2 focuses purely on sheer firepower, exchanging secondary weapons and automatic turrets for an extreme setup of projectile weaponry; 28 front mounted gatling guns in an arrangement capable of tearing armor like paper, burning through thousands of rounds in mere seconds, and utterly destroying small ships and vehicles, as well as inflicting massive damage to large ships on a focused point.

Being a heavy-weight ship, the Baron Mark 2 while still quite agile, is equipped with an hydrogen mobility booster drive like it's Mark 1 version, however, instead of gaining a massive forward thrust power, the Mark 2's drive generates a lesser but still powerful boost towards all directions, especially useful in high altitudes when turbofans loses strength, and for sustainance while aiming down on a high negative pitch angle. For a better survivability, it uses a composite of heavy and light armor, and is equipped with a re-usable deployable decoy system (refer to the last screenshot for a how-to).

As with most AAS atmospheric models, the Baron Mark 2 is equipped with a LSMD; a low-power ion drive that doesn't affect the atmospheric performance, and allows small manneuvers in space, inside carriers, or to propel the ship itself into a planet, as it's capable of a re-entry all the way from orbit, however, it cannot return to space on it's own.

- The landing gears are leveled with the fuselage for maximum clearance, be careful when landing.
- Sometimes when using the ion thrusters (LSMD), the speed gets stuck at "0", if that happens, just 'shake' the ship a little and it will start accelerating normally, this should only happen in space because the LSMD is a low power drive.
- Use the mobility booster sparingly, turn it off when it's not needed, and try to keep some ice in the storage so the O2/H2 generator can keep replenishing the booster fuel, even while it's active.
