F-10 Phantom

Description
Designed primarily as a planetary defence fighter, the Phantom is capable of breaking orbit unassisted and returning safely. Range is limited by the battery packs, 3 of which can easily be swapped out for a large reactor located behind the connector mount. Offensive payload is limited to 3 forward mounted GAU-25mm and two sequenced rocket pods, but can be expanded with merge mounts on the wingtips. The upper turret is intended for close support and missile defence.

Still a work in progress but I could use some feedback, so try it out and leave a comment. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.

Edit: Now larger and heavier at 51 Metric Ton, but more powerful with additional thrusters and batteries. Two more gyro's have been added and sadly I've removed the sequencing script, But the timers and programming block are still there if you want to give it a go.

Screenshots show the biggest changes between the original upload and the revised version.

Ty for the feedback. I know there are some issues, just wondered if someone would spot something I missed, it's why I labelled it a work in progress.

With those side merge blocks you could make custom missile using the guided missile script making them like TOW missiles, tracking where you aim, this would be fantastic for this build since you have so much vertical atmo thrust allowing you to carry a heavy atmo payload.

I hope that helps! Good to see you posting again!

Always been a fan of your designs and I'm happy to see you post a new one! I really like it! The over all layout is wondering! The tail I think is the most interesting physical part of the build. I also like how you can shut off atmo and turn on ion thrusters, this saves power and I might have to try that myself. Now your rocket timer, isn't working currectly and you may want to fix that. Also a single gyro is just to little for such a hefty design, I'd say atleast two.
Personally I could live without the side atmo thrusters, but if you wanted to build the ship for dogfighting in atmo, side thrusters is likely the better way to go, but I'd personally save the weight and remove them.
