===================

Low-Cost EarlyAccess-Variant available:

The DroneHunter-Series:
=======================

This is all about High Agility Scout and Combat Vessels, in short:
SCHAC-Fighters! (Super Compact High Agility Combat)

What's better than Armor at your Craft?
Manoeverability! 'Cause it's better to not get hit in the first place!

What's the Difference to my Omega-Series?
The Omega-Series are more block-shaped high armored vessels with having most Thrusters (besides the back ones) hidden behind Armor.
It's kind of Cheating and possibly not functioning in the Future of Empyrion.

The DroneHunters on the other Hand have nearly all Thrusters either visible or venting outside or at least are connected in series to outer ones.
That's the philosophy behind the DroneHunter Series.

What are these Manoeverability values about?
Ahead Acceleration/Brake : important combat stat (anything >20 is alright) - Getting ahead and back while strafing to dodge incoming fire!
Lateral Acceleration : very important combat stat (we want at least >20 here) - We're doing Strafe runs against Enemy turrets!
Pitch/Yaw : very important stat (>10 is very good, <4 is inadequately!) - For smooth fine tuning Mouse movements!
