'Valiant' Long Range Fighter

Description
Heavily inspired by a type of exotic ship found in No Man's Sky.
( http://i.imgur.com/SXn8AZ7.jpg by u/Ahnix over on Reddit)

The Valiant offers long range operation distance in exchange for having mediocre firepower. It can enter and exit atmosphere, however atmospheric combat is not recommended, due to lacking maneuverability on planets (UPDATED). The ship has enough vertical thrust to land and take off, should however preferably remain level on planets.

It is recommended to fold wings before entering atmosphere, as the planet gravity hinders the ships ability to do so. Rotor lock is necessary in both wing settings.

It is possible to set a Tri-Wing mode, to do this, change both values which read 90° and -90°, to 60° and -60° respectively, or any other desired value. (I recommend adding an extra 1° if setting to (-)60°, to keep the folded up mode easy to differentiate, as it also has values of (-)60°)

Toolbar 1:
1 - Toggle wing tilt
2 - Wing rotor lock
3 - Toggle landing gear extension
4 - Toggle connector
5 - Lock/Unlock landing gear

Toolbar 2:
1 - Rocket launchers
2 - Gatling gun

amazing build @Hombre, keep it up, nice design and all, would love one with smaller wings to allow for easy storage in hangars and all that, cant wait for more :D

It pitches its nose up when thrusting forward but the effect can be mitigated by sharing inertia tensor across all sub-grids.
Other than that, a great build. I love vertical ships.

@Marichun I was not aware of this, thanks for bringing it to my attention

There are rules regarding the use of Exploration tag, no rotors is one of them.

Any Decoys in the wing tips, would make them useful if there aren't already
