Up, up and away!

Original Teaser

Introduction: The Archetype Class Space Fighter is a space superiority fighter with space for a single pilot, powered by 3 powerful sub-light nuclear thruster, divided into 5 nozzles, capable of VTOL and being carried in Space Carriers. It carried 2 SpHSMs or Space Heat Seeking Missles, 2 Laser Machineguns and 2 Plasma Launchers. It is nimble and reliable.

Pictures:

Lore: Built by the Elementaris Aerospace Engineering in New Atlantis, Europa, the Archetype Class Space Fighter has been in service with the Solar Republic since 2351, operated mainly off Spacecarriers such as the SRSS Ceres SCS-67B, a Ferocity Class Space Carrier, one of the most powerful currently in use by the Solar Republic's Navy. It saw extensive use during the Proxima Centauri Insurgency.

Controls: Standard Plane Controls (when in horizontal flight mode)
AG1 for VTOL flight mode.
AG2 for Horizontal flight mode.
AG3 to enable Laser Machineguns.
AG4 to enable Plasma Launchers.
AG5 to enable SpHSMs.
AG6 to toggle lights.

Tips: To take off in VTOL mode, enable AG1, throttle all the way, deactivate the Landing Gears, enable AG2 and disable AG1.

It is very hard to land it in VTOL, but not impossible, just touchdown VERY carefully and slowly or the physics will murder you and the craft.

Cockpit Light Index: Blue: VTOL Mode ON.
Yellow: Horizontal Mode ON.
Red: Laser Machineguns Enabled.
Green: Plasma Launchers Enabled.
Orange: SpHSMs Enable.
White: Cockpit Illumination.

P.s: I'm working on a 2 part lore forum post making a background for my Sci-Fi spacecraft so nothing will be unexplained in this plane's lore section. I doubt many will care, but im really happy with how everything i've written so far. I'll put a link to it in the comments when i post it.
