Vanilla+ – VTOL Strike Fighter
Press your jump key (default: Spacebar) to switch between flight and hover mode.
Fighter aircraft armed with a cannon, AAMs, and bombs, capable of vertical takeoff and landing, ideal for carrier operations and short runways. Intended as part of an aircraft expansion pack I will not be able to work on for some time.
FN-25 Keshig
The Keshig is as much a triumph of engineering as it is a triumph of intelligence-gathering, with the Federal Intelligence Service having closely monitored the drama of the Tempest, and quietly conveyed the Union’s hard-learned lessons to the Federation’s defense-industrial network. The result was a similarly capable VTOL aircraft, built within a fraction of the time for a fraction of the cost, and rendering the original’s one-of-a-kind advantage moot.
Albri Tempest
Touted as a system to redefine aerial warfare, forging the new cutting edge with advanced stealth, networking, and VTOL capability, it would be more than fifteen agonizing years of development, steeped in controversy, scandal, and cutbacks, before the Tempest meekly shuffled into service. Yet, hidden in the shadow of its reputation, it has quietly taken its place as a centerpiece of Union force-projection doctrine as a highly capable, multirole VTOL platform.
