Extricator Fighter

Description
The Extricator is battery powered, armed with 2 gatlings and a small rocket launcher, and has a full conveyor system with one medium cargo box. It also has an RC unit on board so you can control it remotely. It's quick and it turns fast. I'm a terrible pilot though so I haven't tested it in MP.

Edit: This fighter was reviewed here by the exelent Ж terzaerian Ж in The Fighter Review issue 4.

Yeah, this one is old. I've been thinking of making an Extricator 2.0, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll add O2 systems, perhaps tweak the design a bit. Need to try to keep it a similar size though, as I mostly just wanted this one to be fast and cheap. I'll add internal reactors in the 2.0 if I remember too, ass you suggested.

I liked it. It handled well and was fairly quick off the line. It probably could use a rework given how much the game has changed (o2 mainly) and the 2 exposed reactors are good for refuelling on-the-fly if a pilot derps out and forgets to add enough U in survival, but it could stand to have one or two buried in the armor at some point IMO.

About to test out the Writers ;)

Just in case you were wondering, I left the reactors exposed and unconnected so that if the ship lost all power you wouldn't have to rip one apart to fill them both.

I tried to toe the 950 character limit to posts, but I just couldn't. :P

Thank you! I'm gonna read the review now! And thanks now for the 4 stars, that's more than I expected.

Full Review at The Fighter Review: Issue 4

Aesthetics: ★★★★★

The Extricator fighter immediately presents a heavyset profile, but don't let this initial impression color your judgement of the design. The Extricator is a finely sculpted machine, utilizing shaped armor...

Systems: ★★★★☆

The ship sports a finely balanced thruster set and a 1:4k kg gyro ratio, and handles like a dream. A nose-mounted camera and remote control let the Extricator also do duty as a drone. Its power system is a hybrid reactor/battery setup...

Armament: ★★★☆☆

Thruster redundancy helps insure that the ship will keep moving after a hit; however, the ship is lightly armored overall, and lightly armed. To its credit, the guns are very close to the center of mass...

Overall: 4 out of 5 ★.
