AF-01D Skyhawk

The Celestial Federation main Multirole Aircraft on planets serving admirably on Earth, Mars, Triton, Pertam and Alien Planet. Equipped with decent amount of firepower for it's intended roles.

Built from the need of the Celestial Federation for a strike aircraft, Heavy Atom Industries initially offered the Spacehawk for that role, but was soon found to be unsuitable for atmospheric use...the hydrogen didn't last long on planets with strong gravity....so our engineers at Heavy Atom Industries went back to the drawing board and began converting the Spacehawks to Skyhawks the variant intended for atmospheric use...

Eventually 4 Variants were made

A variant with no guided missiles or any sophisticated equipment intended as a cheap multi role aircraft
B Double Seater Strike/Interdiction/Reconnaissance/Interception variant with some decent capabilities.
C Single Seat Strike/Interdiction/Interception/Fighter variant with 2 Turret and Beam Ride Guided Missiles
D A dedicated high altitude interceptor with 2 Guided missiles, meant to even bring down satellites.

Our pilots say:
"D is only for the elites and best of the best our pilots, our main role is interception, the fighter can be ready moment's notice to deal with any threat coming to our base, the missiles are accurate up to 5KM and once we use them we have good maneuverability for dog fighting, team work is must in fast slash attacks"

"Yeah she is my sweet heart"

Our Engineers say:
"It is good trust us"

Primary Roles:
Interception, Interdiction, Fighter Sweep, CAP.

Secondary Roles:
Reconnaissance, Armed Reconnaissance.

Armament :
3 Auto Cannons
2 Assault Cannons
2 GT-02 Torpedoes

Power is generated by 2 Small Reactors and stored in Dozens of Batteries

Uses various Scripts like
Whip's Artificial Horizon
Whip's Turret Based Radar
WHAM
LAMP

To keep this thing afloat and help it even reach space, this Skyhawk variant got, 8 Small Hydrogen Thrusters to push it up, there is an O2/H2 Generator and Hydrogen is stored in 12 Small Hydrogen Tanks, so manage your time well.

Once your high up you have really limited time to see your target and fire the Torpedoes after geting a lock, to search for target go the LAMP toolbar 3 and click 4 to search, once you get a lock press 7 to fire, use the camera for visual identification, you can target up to 5KM, and you can kill the Torpedo in flight by pressing 9

Once you reach 10000 meters the Ions will kick and start working you can technically reach space, but there are no thrusters to stop you...only atmospheric thrusters are meant for that.

To ease your decent the fighter is equipped with a parachute hatch.

Please do not over fill your fighter, otherwise it will be really heavy, in fact do not have more than 10 rounds of Assault Cannon, and if you feel the hydrogen thrusters are too much for the 12 Small Hydrogen tanks, you can reduce them to 4 or 6. fiddle with it yourself.
