Description
Publishing my first attempt of a PID stabilized "Thrustercopter". It is quite durable and has 2 AIs for redundancy. Uses RTGs + Batteries as Power Supply, also helping for redundancy which lessens the chance to be critically crippled by one salvo and allows for basicly infinite range.

Can be used as frontline unit or for air superiority since its rockets are very maneuverable and usually accurate, but they dont do very high damage overall, suffering against bigger targets.

AI is adjusted for defensive operations and only moves forward when the enemy is too far away (doesnt even move forward as much in Patrol/Fleet Mode - Use Out of Play to move them). Think of it as flying defense drone which only moves when it has to.

Important notice: Due to having 2 AIs with each having full PID stabilization it can happen that the entire craft MIGHT get some sort of "seizure" (craft actively tries to defy physics in quite weird forms such as just weirdly floating in the air or not get slowed down when in water or simply taking alot more knockback) after being repaired and detecting a enemy. Advisable to shutdown one AI to fix (sometimes) or to force the unit out of play and then directly play back in.

Weaponry: 6x "Minirocket-Pods" - Most effective against Aircraft
Armor: Mainly alloy armor with EMP surges, Applique Armor protecting the most vital equipment
Speed/Agility: 38m/s. It does turn very fast but this version doesnt actively try to evade hits neither does it move much.
Cost: 17747 Materials + 2000 Material Storage

Versuch mal im max 10k Bereich zu bleiben mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 80-120 m/s. In diesem Bereich sind, die an sich besten Abfangjäger, die ich kenne. Die RTG's sind in Flugzeugen eher fehl am Platz, da man eine Einheit baut, die an sich schnell zerstört werden kann.
Die kleinen Raketen lassen sich um die 4-6 m als Langstrecke verwenden und verwende nicht zu viele auf einer Einheit (2x4 reichen aus).
