Description

A small hovercraft made because I like railguns and pendepth APS :)
Practically a bigass gun with some metal slapped on so it's pretty cheap, can spawn a nice swarm with the campaign block limits.
Has a custom Lua AI, in fleetmove it'll keep in formation with the flagship and also provide LAMS support beyond the firepower.

Stats:

2076 blocks
41.1K material cost
Speed 38 m/s forward, 33 backwards, 25 to the sides
47m length, 27 width, 11height
94K fuel capacity, enough for 20 minutes of combat
60K resource storage
2000m engagement range.

Armament:

500mm, 40 RPM railgun.
- 32K kinetic damage with 12.2 AP
- 650 m/s shell velocity
- 0.14° inaccuracy
- 180° frag and HE payload, goes off 0.02s after first impact or on a bounce
- rails add 11K energy/shot, only use 8800 from batteries

Defenses:

Basic Lua evasion. Uses my hoverscript, was mostly made for style so not nearly as good at dodging as the Ninja.
3600 DPS 4Q LAMS. 2-2 nodes on both side.
Strength 10 reflects shields with very good angles cover the front.
The first thing I've made that actually uses ejectors, when clips/loaders are hit they drop shells straight down.
No laser defenses, don't use it against LH :)

Detection:

Assorted cameras, radars and laser rangefinders +a retroreflection.
Has a big detection stack on top that spins looking for targets when idle, in case something was found it locks on.

I couldn't get any of these old(er) LUAs to work after the AI update earlier this year.

was wondering if anyone else has had luck with this vehicle lately, i used to use it awhile back, and me and a friend decided to play FTD again, and now whenever i put this beauty into play, it climbs to altitude, then just aims up or down and flies straight into the ocean, or to about 600m up, then stays that way. anyone else have this issue? or did the devs change something and the lua code no longer works?

to move it u have to turn off the AI or just put it to weapons and than up key increase altitude, down key decreases altiude. and movement is the jkli

This is pretty much the only craft I've seen that can take out a Bifrost without it causing major grief. I swear that thing shouldn't be considered a normal design... But awesome craft to use!!
