Rapier High-Maneuverability Atmospheric Fighter

Description
The Rapier is a small and agile atmospheric fighter using wings to improve performance rather than provide lift. As long as it's flown like an aircraft with wings this is capable of some crazy maneuvers. It's size also makes it a hard target to hit and with 6 gatlings aboard it can pinpoint enemy fighters and vehicles to ensure crippling damage on important components.

Fully survival ready!

Many thanks to Digi for his continued efforts to make amazing mods!

Design is awesome, love the look and the capabilities! Can I upload a design based on the Rapier that operates in space, rather than in atmosphere?

I don't know for sure if the experience is exactly the same, but this is still fantastic fun while using Draygo's Aerodynamic Physics mod. Probably the most fun vehicle in the game besides ICB166's Flea.

reminds me of my childhood growing up with star wars.

You should make a civilian model of this. It's amazing.

I watched this on youtube, this was a very cool use for the Aerodynamics mod rather than having them faciing out kept them along the side

I used this concept as well for a fighter i built and it tutned out great

espically with the wing mounted rockets and Longbows :P

Just a suggestion.

You can have it carried by a dorp ship or a carried that have ground facing hangers, so a lot of them could be dropped down vertically, and quickly accelerate to a high speed using gravitational pull.

tweaks list:
1) add a working canopy
2) swap standard turbines for tiered variants
3) swap some reactors for hydrogen reactors
4) add single block solar power cells
5) swap out stock guns for 23 mm quad guns
6) add an armored small cargo container for underbelly cargo access
7) repaint it
