Ouroboros Scout Frigate From Trails in the Sky (SC)
Discription: This ship is manuverable and flexible. It carries 6 interceptors, 6 guardians, and 6 infernos. It is also armed with 2 very large rotary cannons for anti-vehicle combate, powerful enough to down a ship with only a few seconds of fire. It also has an anti-personnel, coaxial turret to cover troops with. It is by no means the fastest aircraft, but it makes up for the sluggishness with its manuverablility and flexability. I mean, it can land nearly anywhere!

Instuctions:

AG1: VTOL mode; pitch forward/backward horizontal movement forward/backward--roll left/right for strafing movement. VTOL slider up for vetical throttle. (note: also activates gyro leveling and yaw power.)

AG2: deploy boarding ramp and door (only while landing gear is down)

AG3: turret activate; VTOL slider up/down for left and right aim, trim up/down for down/up aim.

AG8: activate rotary cannons

This is a VTOL only airship!
Takeoff: AG1 on, trim up to ~95% for liftoff. Raise gear. Throttle 100%. Keep going to ~150 mph, then AG1 off. control as any plane.
Landing: Desend to a few hundred feet above where you want to land. Slow to 150 mph. AG1 on. Trim to a point where you aren't climing or desending. you will have to keep raising the slider as you slow. Use airbrakes and pitch up (control back) gently os as to not climb drastically. Slow to a hover. Gently lower VTOL slider for desent and touchdown. It does float, but you should leave AG1 on. Also, putting the landing gear down, and sliding VTOL up to ~50% makes it a pretty good water-skimmer.

Lore: Ouroboros, having plans for Liberal, has dispatched their enforcers and Jaguars to the small Queendom. After the request for the massive Crimson Ark (aka:) The Glorious, many of these ships went with. Both to escort the massive airship, and to act as troop dropships.
