Description
This is a robust medium fighter/interceptor based on the Gunfighter light fighter. It was designed and built in a survival world and is completely survival ready. It is powered by a single large reactor and has several small containers as well as 1 medium container feeding the conveyor system, the reactor, and the weapons. It is well armored and well armed with 6 gatling cannons and 4 reloadable rocket units. In a 10x10x10 server it will carry 750 canisters of rockets and in excess of 32,000 rounds of gatling amunition. it also has some limited remote operation and drone capability with a remote unit as well as front and rear cameras.

Hm. I suppose I'll have to give it a shot. As for the rockets, yeah that's typcial. Even my designs don't escape that and I haven't met one that has. Sometimes you just got to be careful when the server gets laggy. Color me skeptical due to the exposed cockpit and larger look buit I'll give your fighter a try.

I built it because I needed a heavier upgrade to my light fighter. It was originally conceived and built on my dedicated survival server. The ship flies very well and its largest problem is that it can be self destructive due to game bugs associated with rockets. I have not used the ship in any creative server, ever. I think the rest of your questions can be answered if you just subscribe to the ship and try it out.

Very nice looking fighter. I do wonder as to it's practical capabilities though. All that heavy armor has to effect it's forward momentum. But then again, you do have a lot of thrusters, albeit the front ones are all small (I hope the back has larger thrusters with great propulsion capability). What's the weight come out to? How fast does it turn? How stable is it under fire and how soon can it come to a stop or change directions? How difficult is this to build in survival and how resource intensive is it on uranium for all those thrusters?

I have my doubts about it because for all its heavy armor, that cockpit is quite exposed, meaning this expensive-looking fighter could be disabled by just a few well-placed gatling shots, turning it into an expensive brick for all the resources used to make it. Have you play-tested it on a pvp server where resources are scarce and must be fought over (like in Elysium server)? How successful in combat are you with it?
