M.D. 207 "Rickendy"

Wanna talk about terratech and stuff? Join my discord: https://discord.gg/umPsAwJE22

The Rickendy is an aerial superiority dogfighter equipped with afterburners. It has just the right mix of everything: speed, defense, firepower, and maneuverability. However, by using it's afterburners, it can outrun pretty much all of it's competition.

The original idea for the Rickendy was a capable dogfighter able to catch up to annoying sky-screamer planes that typical AA is defenseless against. It is moderately expensive (compared to some other similarly-sized planes) at 272,700 BB, but it's combat capability more than makes up for it's hefty price tag. It's also small enough to fit inside a 11x10x5 hangar, making it the perfect protection against speedy strike planes that pose a threat to your warships.

The Rickendy may not have the most potent armament, but due to it's high maneuverability and strong afterburners, it can easily dodge/outrun cruise missiles. The best strategy is to get on your opponent's tail and keep hammering them until their batteries run out. If you start to run low on battery power, turn off your shields to increase the life of your batteries.

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Make sure that the Rickendy's control schemes work for you. You need to bind forwards propulsion to SHIFT on both schemes, and on the scheme named "Rickendy" you need to bind thrusters to SHIFT as well. Make sure that only the Rickendy's two custom control schemes ("Interceptor" and "Rickendy") are active.
2. To activate afterburners, press "C" (or whatever key you have bound to changing control scheme). This will switch the control scheme from "Interceptor" to "Rickendy", which will activate your boosters. Press C again to deactivate.
