KDF Perseus

Perseus leads with its world-class performance in Planetary and Space combat. Able to intercept at a moment's notice. With its high-performance Kraken Drive, there is no mission it cannot meet its expectations. Halcyon Industries' next-gen applications make sure of its goal; to achieve great strides in keeping the nation of Zxnobia safe for a better tomorrow.

The single-seat cockpit can also be flown unmanned with the new Megara A.I. Used to fly support with Dreadnoughts, dropships, and carriers as well as carry out
clandestine Missions in times of peace. Recommended to fly in a squadron

ATMOSPHERIC FLIGHT
_____________________________________________________________________________________
The main throttle controls the Forward Propulsion Kraken Drive. This is a very powerful drive recommended to do incremental increase by pressing the shift key. At half throttle, this will be placed in a sustained flight mode. When a tick over half throttle at lower sea level your nominal flight speed will be around. 120 - 145 m/s The higher you go the faster you fly. Full throttle your speed will steadily increase based on your height. For instance, at around 12k you will be at supersonic speeds. Drop to half throttle to maintain whatever speed you want to be at. IF you want to quickly escape Kerbin angle your nose up and just go full throttle.

SPACE MODE

Once you are past the 12k range this is where you will start increasing speed exponentially this will send you flying into orbit in a short time. Make sure to practice normal flight procedures that you would do with any SSTO except you have no fuel so you can play around and not be scared.

Once in space make sure to only use RCS when getting ready to either dock or not using anti-gravity drive. Remember you can turn that drive off by pressing ACTION Group 3 RCS is used for docking or high-speed maneuvering in space combat.

Press the Trim keys I and K for the anti-gravity drive,. It is recommended that you hit Action Group 2 and then press Radial out and trim slowly. Since trim keys do not have a visible UI I created one with a KALl1000 and lights. This will be visible on the back as well.

ACTION GROUP 1 will set flight controls from the cockpit for normal flight procedures.
ACTION GROUP 2 will set flight controls from the AI operator. This is great if you want to radial out to hover better in anti-gravity mode. this is set by default.
ACTION GROUP 3 will turn off the Forward Propulsion Kraken Drive
ACTION GROUP 4 Will turn off the Anti Gravity Drive
ACTION GROUP 5 Toggle Animated Engine Lights
ACTION GROUP 6 Will Open Cockpit Canopy
ACTION GROUP 7 Turn on and off Fuel Cell Charger on by default
ABORT will turn off all KAL1000s when docked at a station or other craft
SPACE BAR will fire the Minerva Cannon
