Black Adder

Welcome to the Black Adder, a tactical craft excelling in reconnaissance and in penetration and elimination of automated defenses (turrets).
It's one of the first or maybe even the first craft of its kind. Currently the Mk Ie (cockpit made of blocks, radar) is featured in this world.
The Black Adder can operate on planets with gravity up to 0.4G (0.5G empty)


You will start in the cockpit of the MK Ie. Turn your head to the right and take a look at the display. There you'll find further hints.

Entering the Mk Ie is done through the cross-shaped roof as seen in one of the screenshots. The pilot seat of the Mk Ib is the middle one.


The hull of this heavy fighter is made of lightweight carbon, its mass is around 65 tons empty and more than 80 tons with "payload".

The rear section contains the power supply and industrial thrusters as main propulsion.
The Black Adder is battery powered. She can be operated for at least one hour.

The front section contains the cockpit(s), the storage and the armament. The armament consists of a railgun to eliminate defenses, 6 autocannons for some dogfight capability, two small Lancaster Inc. bomb launchers and a Gatling turret.

The main feature are the two extendable decoy arms mounted on a two-sided rotor made by Nila which can be literally considered as the centrepiece of this craft. The pistons made by Eikester are good-looking and sturdy.


- When the rotor is locked the craft may turn slightly while it should move straight. If you experience a strange behaviour in the steering, unlock the rotor while no forces are acting on the decoy arms. The effect will be weaker/gone if the rotor is turned off.
- Don't switch the "Target moving objects" option of the Gatling turret on unless you own all blocks of the craft or the decoy arms will be gone.
- The bombsight camera will break when turning at full speed. Hinges are maybe the weakest blocks at the moment :-(
- Variants with the LAEL cockpit have been removed because unfortunately the LAEL cockpit is currently bugged


Since the Black Adder is not a simple fighter but a weapon system I made a video (without voice) so you can receive an impression how to operate the craft. It's the very first video I made. The video is showing an assault on a heavily defended target with the first two Black Adders are creating a gap in the defenses while the third acts as bomber striking the target unharmed.
