The Rabican
UPDATED FOR REFORGED EDEN 1.7, Absolutely owns!
The Rabican is a Multi-Quantum POI buster and CV-Harrier. Combining peak evasive flight characteristics with a double-armor shell ( Hardened Steel over Combat Steel ), the ship brings armored SVs to the absolute zenith of their capabilities.
Ever seen an SV smash 12 POI’s at once, including a Xenu Fortress? Ever seen an SV completely donkey-stomp a Kamirat into the ground? Now you can do both.
The Rabican combines the punch of 10 automated Heavy plasma turrets with the freedom and firepower of 12 Manual fire Plasma cannons, with 4 Vulcan Turrets for Anti-drone, to boot, making the Craft not just incredibly destructive, not just incredibly fast and nimble, not just incredibly and comprehensively armored, but also a Multi-role aircraft for both Pummeling targettable devices, but also for manually coring or burrowing through armor toward soft targets.
The Rabicans devices, AND its ammo extensions are 100% contained within a 360 degree armor envelope, which is 1 layer of combat steel, surrounded by an additional layer of Mixed Combat Steel & hardened steel. It has 5-6 Layers of frontal ablative Armor, as well, to take extra damage where damage should be expected. Every Turret, Weapon, and even the cockpit, can be blown off of the ship and it will continue to fly all the same ( even better, in fact ). You can batter and beat this air frame more than any other youve ever flown, do not be deceived by it’s minimalist and aerodynamic shape, It is in fact a Giant Combat Steel Block at its core, 2 layers thick all around and 5+ at the front.
The Rabican comes standard with Long range Detector, and has both a first person cockpit for excellent aimed shots, and also an internal cockpit inside of your armor envelope for the… less brave.
The ship comes standard with space for at least 4 additional advanced small generators, and half a dozen more auxillary cores. It is intentionally, manually set for 40 degrees of roll, and will operate optimally at up to 280 tons of total weight at that degree of roll. If more tonnage is required, I would suggest bringing it’s roll down to 35 degrees, and keeping it weighted under 300 tons total ( with ammo ). The more weight you put on it, the more you will need to decrease it’s roll, I would not suggest weighting the vehicle above 320 tons without modifying the ship with additional UP thrusters to stay around 90+ m/s of Lift.
Standard recommended ammo compliment for the vehicle is 8000 Vulcan rounds, 1000 Type-e Plasma rounds, and 500-700 Rounds of type-a Plasma, but it can carry more if needed ( volume to spare ). Ammo extensions can be removed if needed to make space as required, the ship comes standard with more Ammo volume than necessary.
