Jx 448 Hydrax

Lore: Since the invention of Galdax Thrusters, a majority of new ships and craft have moved over to them exclusively in the 2125 era. However thanks to some die-hards prefering the thunder of hydrogen engines to the electrical hum of Galdax Thrusters, and some in the Phantom Elite Division command wanting to have backups should the other modern fighters be unavailable, the Hydrax was created as a hybrid of older hydrogen tech and modern Galdax tech. These craft are typically seen around outposts or other installations mixed in with other defensive craft with a few kept in reserve. Other assignments are typically shorter to medium range. Pilots of the Hydrax often switch propulsion types on the fly to conserve fuel whenever possible and sometimes activate both thruster types to augment speed during combat.

Notes: I created the items in my 2125 era mod because I wasn't satisfied with the performance of many of the vanilla blocks in game. As such I created my own variants which allowed me far greater control over the abilities of the craft and stations I wished to create. This fighter was a starting point to creating new small grid craft based on 2125 era tech in the mod and is the first of small grid Jx line of craft to be fully upgraded into DuraMax armor. I didn't want to completely abandon my old vanilla designs so I created this fighter in the spirit of my most successful fighter design. If you're looking for a shorter to medium range fighter then this ship may be what you're looking for. Shell composed of DuraMax Armor with all reinforced weapons that have longer range than vanilla and greater punch. Mostly electrical power with 2 reactors in reserve, one uranium and one xabrium allowing you to use either as a fuel.
