Description
(SV Tier 1 Class 1, Unlock Level 7)

Primary roles: CPU Tier 1 scout ship, inexpensive, storage, light combat, o2, fridge, armor locker

Built for Zero-G's November challenge.

The MCRN-Sparrow is a CPU tier 1 scout ship designed to be inexpensive but also containing many survival features. The ship takes advantage of the new flight model and uses minimal amount of thrusters set up in a different way. This ships needs an open area in front of it so it can take off much like an airplane. It is also very fuel efficient and can do 70 ms on planets and can be used in space. This ship flies different from all other creations I made to date, so it may take a bit of getting used too. Something like runways is a great idea for using this ship. To take off, throttle up and start to lift off the ground. Once air borne, steer using standard turning while pitching in the direction you wish to turn.

General features

It comes with 4 gatling guns and 1K ammo storage, 4K standard storage, o2, armor locker, and fridge. It has extra room inside the hull for more parts. This area is however not accessible without removing a block or in creative mode. It also has WiFi and a detector. It has exterior lights controlled by the P menu "Exterior lights" control.

Offense and Defense

The ship is built with steel however the outer wing areas are carbon substrate. It has 4 gatling guns and 1K ammo storage. It is not really intended for much fighting but an ambitious pilot could try tactical air strikes on POI defenses keeping a high rate of speed in attempt to avoid getting hit.

Features Summary:

1. Player unlock level 7, CPU tier 1, Unlock level 7, inexpensive, needs no rares
2. 4 gatling guns, steel haul with carbon substrate outer wing areas
3. 4K storage, 1 large cargo box, 1K ammo storage
4. O2 + station, fridge, armor locker
5. Detector, WiFi
6. Designed to take off like an airplane. Something like a runway or open area in front needed to take off.

More MCRN based creations coming soon!

I hope you enjoy!

I could only stop in space by wedging the fighter in a bay door... I'm gonna try that modified version.

Thanks Boomer, SkeL and wolf4243! This was really an experiment on the flight model change from before to see how a lower cost glider like ship would work. I guess I haven't built anymore like this one :). Thanks again!

This ship looks nice but it was very unstable it can't stand in air or rolls up and down you should add engins on sides and below...

Dont know if its only for me but I tried to fly it in space but couldn't turn :(
Also its almost impossible to stop the movement in space.

I must admit, I stuck a thruster on the underside of it XD (you can barely see it). I flew it into the MCRN nest and promptly got it stuck. (kept making the docking noise over and over and could not tilt the nose up for forward momentum)... I feel like that might just be a me only thing though XD

Thank you Boomer and DeadMechGaming! I agree, this one was an experiment with the new flight model and the only ship I made to date that doesn't have 6 direction thrust. It was done on a Tier 1 to maximize other things like storage saving CPU by running far less thrusters. However it does turn but I normally use the Q and E keys to lean into the direction turning for faster turning speed. Having 1 front thruster, it can kind of stay in the air not in motion and not fall to the ground like an airplane. Thanks again all!

No worries.
