Description
The Dragonfly
A small grid scout and light attack aircraft, inspired by the Type 4 Doragon from BF2142

This is an upgraded LAC-3 Dragonfly with lower part count and PCU. The LAC-3B has more endurance and is (hopefully) more resilient than the previous version, without increasing in mass.

Developed into: LAC-3C

Main changes:
  • 9 small batteries substituted by a large one
  • Antenna replaced by beacon
  • Conveyor system slight re-route
The Dragonfly is a compact, light and nimble aircraft, concieved as a scout and reconnaissance platform capable of engaging targets of opportunity. It can perform lightning-fast ground attacks or aerial combat while evading enemy fire, thanks to its small profile and high TWR.

Specifications
Power plant:
  • 2 Large and 8 small atmospheric thrusters
  • 2 Large batteries
Weapons:
The default loadout is intended for ground attack. Replace with gatlings for air-to-air combat (it will also lower total PCU to 1942).
  • 3 Conveyor-fed autocannons
  • 2 Rocket pods
Subsystems:
  • Emergency parachute
  • Frontal camera
  • 3 Small cargo containers
  • Beacon
  • Connector
  • 2 Gyroscopes
  • 3 Decoys
Empty mass: 27640kg
Total PCU: 2640
Total Blocks: 448

Enjoy!

Thank you everyone for your kind comments! And @MrHowhok, I'm working on a hydrogen version of the LAC-5. It's not as pretty, but its fun to fly against drones. I'll upload it once it's combat-ready.

hydrogen version would break up this glorious design due to more tubes and some tanks being added.
And a projector would raise the PCU, while its that small its propably faster printed than repaired. so get a new one and scrap the old. :D

To the Author: already liked the old one, this here is a really well done update. i particulary like your paintjobs, they just fit extremely good.

cheers! :)

Could you make a Hydrogen version ? :D

It's nice little ship, you should hide a projector in it somewhere for easy repair

@Sevyrs, @BIV Thank you for your comments! Also I see you have fully embraced the philosophy of this design: why have just one, when you can make a hundred?

@therookie99 Why shouldn't it be? :P. Jk, I play SE in spanish. I thought I had translated all commonly used blocks, but I could have missed some.
