Description
*DEPRECATED in Alpha 8 and up!!*
Please use the MARK-5 instead! Thank you!

*********************************


The DroneHunter MKIV:
===================

Deep Space Small Group Dropship, VIP-Transport and Gunship.


The DroneHunter-Series:
=======================

This is all about High Agility Scout and Combat Vessels, in short:
SCHAC-Fighters! (Super Compact High Agility Combat)

What's better than Armor at your Craft?
Manoeverability! 'Cause it's better to not get hit in the first place!

What's the Difference to my Omega-Series?
The Omega-Series are more block-shaped high armored vessels with having most Thrusters (besides the back ones) hidden behind Armor.
It's kind of Cheating and possibly not functioning in the Future of Empyrion.

The DroneHunters on the other Hand have nearly all Thrusters either visible or venting outside or at least are connected in series to outer ones.
That's the philosophy behind the DroneHunter Series.

What are these Manoeverability values about?
Ahead Acceleration/Brake : important combat stat (anything >20 is alright) - Getting ahead and back while strafing to dodge incoming fire!
Lateral Acceleration : very important combat stat (we want at least >20 here) - We're doing Strafe runs against Enemy turrets!
Pitch/Yaw : very important stat (>10 is very good, <4 is inadequately!) - For smooth fine tuning Mouse movements!


The Variants:

I rebuilt this ship and recolored it and i was curious if i can post it to the workshop and if so how you would like to be credited?

UPDATE! Now Interior is finished. Some changes to overall shape and performance too!

This is a WiP Version; the interior space needs to be made a bit higher...
