The twinkling lights that i saw in my dreams.

good day yall!

pretty excited to share this one aswell, made under 7 hours today, also my first official non experimental unit bomber.

hope you guys enjoy this cute flyer
and its also very

Mobile Friendly!

Lore

Aethereal Generator, one of the recent game changing discovery, the viability has been tested with the XT-OM 04 "Sleeper" and ended up a huge success, though the first prototype that was implemented was a lot heavier because of the protective coating and also produces less power it was still a breakthrough discovery compared to the old hydrogen engines that were used in older units.

The material that forms the generator is very sensitive and produces an extremely dangerous radiation, that again has been weaponized, on this Unit it is the Harmonics Glitter, it spreads small particles that are very similar to the engine itself, but without its protective coating, making it radioactive. It gradually disappears because of exposure, but in space it can last longer cause of Vacuum, though not forever since it still burns out.

weaponized versions of this is called Harmonics, mainly made for defense and jamming since it can easily set off warheads and other sensitive electronics.


Information

The FV-OM 01 "Shimmer" is a new low cost bomber, it powers itself entirely with only one Aetherial Generator, this unit is a cluster type so its performance greatly improves when assigned to a squadron made entirely out of the same unit type/classification. the Shimmer is equipped with a single Mini Erupter Turret to defend itself against soft targets. Sadly the fastest speed reachable is basic formation speed since the unit does not have a propulsion part so it wont be able to outrun most interceptors.

Classification : Tier-1 Bomber

Activation Groups

  • Group 3 : change bomb type (Harmonics Glitter)
  • Group 4 : VTOL mode on/off
  • Group 7 : Weapon Safety (turns off all Weapon System)
  • Group 8 : does nothing i think

Armaments

          -1x Mini Erupter (Effective Range 2KM/1.2Miles)
          -1x Harmonics Glitter (Range 1KM/0.6Miles)
          -1x Telion Charges Launcher

Controls

Flight Mode

Normal Plane controls.

VTOL Mode

Pitch : Forward/Backward
Roll : Turn Left/Right
Yaw : Roll left/Right

VTOL : Altitude Control


Special Conditions / Notes

On VTOL mode, if you fly near the ground without extending LandingGear, Shimmer will act like a hover Unit to prevent crashing.
Shimmer cannot simultaneously use both Telion Charges and Harmonics Glitter, you must activate/deactivate Group3 to change your Bomb type

    @Sadboye12
    So... here's some random guesstimation:
    The Aethereal Reactor have a particle reaction of some kind (my bet is on some means to siphon zero-point radiation, using methods similar to the Iskandarian Mechanism, if the name "Aether" means "the Dirac Sea" instead of "the inventor have delusions of grandeur plus a fetish for archaic vocabulary") contained in an energy field and powers various systems of the vehicle, including the both the antigrav coils and primary (probably worked on the same principle as the antigrav ones, only pointed rearwards instead of down) drive coils, plus the avionics of the craft and whatever AI node it used (its tendency to perform better in formations is a stereotypical behavior for networked self-reasoning AI systems, each additional node to the network allows the calculation/reasoning process to more precise and more efficient by a large amount, some times exponentially so, both from the increased FC sensor precision due to triangulation and from increased synaptic capacity).
    The "Telion Charge" system is one of the many expressions of the energy released from the Aethereal Core, where some of the energy is encased in a separate containment field and ejected from the reactor core (whether the field is self-sustaining is largely dependent on what type of particles are used and what reaction it is), whereas the Harmonic Glitter is more about adding an outer layer to the containment fields, fill both layers with enough energy (probably by partially lowering/collapsing the inner layer), then suddenly collapsing the outer layer while simultaneously maintaining full strength on the inner layer to create a devastating particle "pulse" that fries everything around the focus, aka the reactor. So basically a weaponized (and slight more controllable) form of the dreaded "reactor/field overload" event.

    ... Okay, how many of you consider me insane, crazy, drunk, high, or a combination of the above after this post? Comment down below.
    ... in case anyone's wondering it's just a side effect of the covid vac-
    Tom! Is it so hard for you to admit that you're just autistic that you need to spin up some bullshit like that so that more people can get the f#cking virus and die in some of the most agonizing way possible you little $hit?! Admit it. NOW!
    .
    ... that came from nowhere.
    .
    ... yeah I'm autistic and for some reason I'm unreasonably attracted to all those fictional technology in speculative fiction, both sci-fi and magitek...

    ... and I'm sorry for hogging the channel.

    @AmazingMaxie i see, il keep that in mind soo that i can try and fix the problem next time i build
    thank you very much for this input!

    something interesting to note is that dipping it in the water (on mobile) grants a speed boost with mobile’s wonky physics

    @jaynnie071621 tier 1 units chassis reinforcements are not really that strong, they were meant to be like that for faster production and less cost (lore wise)
