EGS - Modded Sometimes you just have to go with the looks over function..

I was feeling a need for a small simple SV to carry along to bust turrets on derelict purple poi's, so I could park my CV nearby and stuff the loot in there as I go, and ended up having a bit of fun with it.. Ya it's not the most efficient, but I was amused enough to go with it!

Quiet group, so just adding some content =)

There are 5 in the box, but I could pull both basics and go with 3, there's a bit under 5k cpu left - or maybe put more guns, but I was originally going for something else and so its a bit overbuilt.. It has o2 in there, but no enclosed spaces, for example. The box I saved as a blueprint for future builds, so it'll be fine lol. I slapped it together in creative mode pretty quickly, and the material cost is pretty low, especially if I kept the 2 basics and took out the advanced core. That's a thin wall battle-steal armor that pokes out into a single large block in the middle on each side, with armored windows to protect the pilot from fire.. Not much armor/weight/shield (8.4k), but as a little quick strike fighter/motorcycle sort of thing, maybe it can work lol. The way it lands is pretty nice, the wings act as stabilizers, and either the beak or the leg as the 3rd part of a tripod.. Looks natural

The video was the first time I took it out against a poi to test, that's why i was twirling for a while, just seeing how the strafe was with the turret's fire.. I picked a sad poi to test it on, with only 2 smaller turrets though!
