Mosquito Heavy Fighter

PLEASE NOTE: The provided Workshop blueprint doesn't include the three pictured Rail Guns. This is so that you can spawn it unarmed and add weapons of your choice without having to mess around in Creative Mode. It also allows for faster blueprint production.

My goal with the Mosquito was to create a fighter with heavy armor, high firepower, good maneuverability, convenient amenities, and of course it has to look rad. I believe I've succeeded. It's extremely fast and nimble even compared to lighter SVs, its center of gravity and landing ability check out, and it can take and deliver quite a beating.


The Mosquito has two fuel tanks, two O2 tanks, an armor locker, a fridge, and one cargo box as-is, all easily accessed via ramp hatches. I omitted the mobile constructor because they're not great and weigh a ton (literally, exactly one metric ton!). You can easily add your own devices to the void space I've left in the rear chassis, as pictured in the screeenshot marquee.

Every single one of its thrusters are small jet thrusters. These provide far superior kilonewtons-per-mass (and block space savings) than normal thrusters, and are also significantly more energy-efficient.

There is a HighPower custom switch that reduces power and fuel consumption by approximately 1/3rd on planets when turned OFF.


The Mosquito is not warp-capable, as this would occupy large quantities of space and mass and detract from its combat performance. It sucks up fuel fairly quickly (kind of like its namesake sucks blood!), especially on planets. It has quite a long and wide profile for a fighter-sized SV due to the wings, and won't fit easily into compact hangars or very small landing pads. (It's worth mentioning that the wings and tubing will take enemy hits for you, so they aren't just for show!)

I armored it strategically. Parts of its underbelly, rear, and inside chassis are normal steel instead of hardened steel. A few sections inside the chassis are even hollow. This was to save mass and increase maneuverability. In combat, it's actually preferable to back away when retreating (its forward jet thrusters are quite powerful) rather than turning around to flee.


That's all he wrote. Have fun out there, space cowboys!
