MQ-5 Yurei Security UAV

MQ-5 Yurei
BLOCK III


The year is 2009, and with the introduction of the at the time, essentially brand new MQ-9 from the USAF, Vigilant Eyes thought "Right, well we should probably make something comparable." and so the Yurei was born.

Named after spirits from Japanese folklore who were barred from a peaceful afterlife, the Yurei is labeled as a Security Drone, able to either protect or completely close down an area for a client. But despite its hostile design, it also has some other services it can provide for clients, such as performing scientific roles, trialing scientific equipment for a client, gaining intel for economic development in an area, or even delivering humanitarian aid to hostile environments without breaking a sweat? Likewise, the Yurei was (and in someways still is) Vigilant's main workhorse.


Cost per unit [BLOCK III]
Between $12,000,000 - $15,000,000 USD

Cost for clients:
Cost for service (hourly)
$1,200 - $3,000 USD

Cost if destroyed or altered: $5,000,000 - 8,000,000 USD

NOTES:
• As usual, Controls are provided in the Craft Instructions.

• All the drones (except for the empty payload) have a unique Tail Code.

• Theres a reference to a very popular TV show in one of the configs. ;)

• Because of what im guessing is a weight imbalance, most loadouts have an idle roll to one side, so keep that in mind when loitering.

• Be sure to read the terms and conditions of use in the Craft Instructions

• If any of these payloads are not to your liking, you can save the weapons as sub assemblies to make your own.


Thank you for downloading, and I hope you enjoy!

    @KorKaiorWhatever I can see it, this one is much bigger though, I tried to keep it around the same length of the MQ-1 Predator.
