The X-01 Ionium is an Ion Class Destroyer. It was designed to be a beastly ship that can host the finest of future technology. However, the founders of the construction chose to reconstruct a deserviced ship instead of building what could've been a 175 Billion dollar ship. The rebuilt ship took on some other smaller bits of technology, such as a "Dual Drill-Bit System", and a "Ionium UnderWater Radar".
[Year 1/16/4017]: The X-01 Ionium has been re-lifted for yet another upgrade that came late, Reverse Thrust, and Retractable Torpedo Tubes. Now the ship can hide its newest weapon safely, and deploy them when needed.
-=UPDATES=-
Reverse Thrust added...FINALLY! (See basic actions)
Retractable Torpedo Tubes! I felt like I needed this. (XML Modded) (See basic actions)
Brakes Pannels and embedded Air Brakes removed. Cause who needs them now?
Fixed the Rocket Turret for vertical aim, they were binded to the wrong group.
Adjusted bow buoyancy due to the Torpedo Tubes pulling the bow down...again.

SpeedyPlane: Tips on Reverse Thrust
-=BASIC ACTIONS=- (Updated again)
Groups 1 + VTOL and Trim: Aim (left, right, up and down) and use Main Guns (x3 Guns)
Groups 2 + VTOL and Trim: Aim (left, right, up and down) and use Rocket Turret (Updated and Fixed)
Group 3: Use Dual Drill-Bit Guns (Unchanged)
Group 4 + VTOL Full Up: Extend and use Torpedo Tubes (DO NOT FIRE WHEN RETRACTED)
Group 4 + VTOL Centered or Full Down: Retract Torpedo Tubes (DO NOT FIRE WHEN RETRACTED)
Camera Change Key: Change to Turret Cams (Auto Centered)
Yaw for fast turns, and Roll for slow turns. (Fast Turning is STILL NOT RECOMMENDED at speeds over 50 Mph.)
Brakes Key for fast deceleration by Reverse Thrust (DO NOT HOLD FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS, it'll take forward thrust to counter it after 5-7 seconds)
-=Notes=-
Thanks to Speedyplane's tips, I've managed to use reverse thrust on this version, it's a micro scaled engine with x10 power boost on the very back of the ship (XML Modded). The torpedo tubes will extend out a bit more than needed, but hey, they work. (XML Modded) They are contained in No-Collide chambers located under the 2nd front turret.

@TheLatentImage I blocked 'em already, thanks for stepping in anyways, a pleasure to have ya help out.
@FarrowAirlines leave this user alone. He's asked you multiple times to keep your comments to yourself. Whatever your motive is, he has requested that you stop.
@FarrowAirlines ...do you mind like not telling me how I should be doing my ships, or how to do my stories about them?
They're not based on reality.
They're not meant to look like what they really would be, WWII ship design, with a futuristic story.
Some of these are old creations, so of course some of them are not that good.
I'm not all that good with quality...I target over-all game performance, not degrading frame rates.
I won't take orders on how I should do my stuff, 'cause no one's in charge of me.
So please, just do me a favor and quit bugging me.
@FarrowAirlines ...is this based off of real ships? No...so don't even worry about it...if this belonged to you, then you would've done whatever you wanted to it without me telling you what you should and should not do.
@FarrowAirlines I have my own story for my fictional ships, thank you.
@Halphas Noice
@UmbyTheZombeonYT Well, I have just developed a complete new series of guns :)
@ChasingHorizon Heh, I've already got one in the works, but then again, it's a pain to place the weapons on it. Still borrowing from you, and getting a few from @Halphas .
I'm still trying to figure out how to build them. Not easy at all for me.
@ChasingHorizon A new ship? Like, a new one completely, or a complete rebuild of this one?
@speedyplane Nah, this is fine, I can probably find a way to make it work easier...sux that VTOL engines won't work.
@UmbytheZombeonYT love this ship! Sorry I couldn't make a better reverse system lol
