Imperial "Thunderbolt" Heavy Fighter (NO DLC)

The Thunderbolt has seen uninterrupted service within the Imperium for countless millenium. Filling the wings of the Aeronautica Imperialis, the screeching of a Thunderbolt's jets fills heretics with dread and mankind with awe. With the help of the great forges of Mars, you too can fly one. Go forth now, in service as the shield and spear of the Emporer and carry the Imperium to every planet and star.

This ship is entirely paid-DLC free but does require the free flush cockpit block you get from the news-letter subscription. As with all of my ships, feel free to use, modify and re-upload as you see fit (unless you're a xeno).

This is the first recreation I've made since the Planetside 2 Reaver I published a few years ago. I figure it would be a good challenge to try and build something with no DLC. The Thunderbolt is an awesome design, and this looks even better if you use the two sci-fi atmo thrusters intead of the vanilla large thrusters.

I'm always open to suggestions or ideas so please let me know if you have any!
