Baron Mk 1 - Heavy Support Gunship

The Advanced Aerospace Systems Baron Mark 1 is a heavy gunship designed for operations that requires high firepower over manneuverability. The Baron can solo attack with its varied and powerful arsenal, or support assaulting forces with it's 'belly' mounted gatling turrets from above. The nose mounted quadra-gatling turret system can be fired with precision and power with the reticle alone, or with the strategically mounted nose camera for pinpoint accuracy, it's also equipped with reloadable and manual rocket launchers that can be set to autofire for unleashing all it's destructive potential, taking down bigger targets with ease.
But thats not all, not only the gatling turrets underneat can provide support for allies on a lower elevation, and grant hitting-on-the-run capabilities, they also allow for multi-targetting as they are automated, and can pick their own target while the pilot locks on another. Being a heavy ship, it is not so agile, and for that matter it's equipped with a dual decoy system for diverting fire, and a powerful afterburner wich grants a massive boost to speed as long as there's fuel to burn.

When landed, the access to the gatling turrets on the bottom part is easy despite of the low clearance, and there's an accessible terminal and switch for service lights, facilitating the turrets maintenance and reload.

- The Afterburner can consume a lot of hydrogen, turn it off whenever it's not necessary, or already flying at top speeds
- The Decoy system will only work if thruster damage option is ON, this makes this ship 100% projectable and survival ready. Some hull twisting may occur, but its merely visual and can be fixed at no cost.

Ask in the comments, I'll answer whenever I can.

v1.1
- A lot of things were upgraded, the overall design was improved, landing gears were relocated, the 'spine' was reinforced along other crucial areas, overall agility was increased along with more thruster power. New O.S, new action bar setup, better lights. It's a better gunship.
