History

Designed to replace the proven Nu and Rho-class shuttles, Cygnus Spaceworks' Lambda T-4A and Sentinel are, quite literally, built differently. While utility of the older shuttles was never questioned - their war-time limitations were starting to get long in the tooth. Made specifically to better suit the new order, Lambda is bigger, better and straight up more visually imposing than either of it's predecessors - perfect fit for high ranking officials, including the Emperor himself. Better protection, longer range and sleeker design made the shuttle popular not only among imperials, but among other wealthy entities as well, including the notorious Corporate Sector.

All the praise aside, the shuttle's commercial success was, at best, overestimated. It's high manufacturing and operating costs made it a hard pill to swallow even for many imperial fleets, let alone commercial buyers. Either Sentinel or even a TIE Shuttle could perform the same work, but at a fraction of a cost. Ultimately after the fall of the Empire, most Lambdas followed their regime into the grave, with very few shuttles surviving in working order after the victory of the New Republic.

Pros: decent maneuverability, admirable armament, good amount of seats.
Cons: bottom connector is hard to use, low customization potential and an absolutely lunatic vertical fin that prevents the use of shuttle on anything besides Imperial Star Destroyers and open landing platforms.

Additional Notes:

• Programmable blocks are turned off by default to improve performance. If you still desire to use them - access the terminal and toggle the group "Programmable Blocks" on.
  
• Because wings have so much mass in them, rotor movement is pretty sluggish.
  
• Landing gear Pistons are activated automatically when wings are folded. If they get stuck - try reversing the wings a couple of times.
  
• Apparently this shuttle has only 2 Reactors on it right now... I am kind of surprised I made such a decision, but unless it proves to be a problem - I won't bother adding more.
  
• Since it is kind of problematic to connect this thing to anything - I would advise directly feeding it with Ice and waiting until onboard O2/H2 Generators process it.

Sorry for another sudden disappearance - everything I promised will be posted soon. Also to that one guy who had problems with Juggernaut - I am going to take a look at it as well.
