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.

@GuyFolk The point is that the braking effect is achieved by the apparent angle of attack (with respect to the airbrake) and the "lift" it generates. Basically speaking, the entire "cobra" schtick, but localized to a small wing surface instead of the entire plane.
@GuyFolk I mean, for a lot of times you don't quite need a brake to go beyond 90 degrees do ya? Granted, the one I used personally is a small subsonic drone that is only unstable on the yaw axis, and I -bleep-ed up on the anhedral effect and yaw control...
IIRC you can use clamp functions to prevent the split-brakes from going crazy... Had done something to a tailless design of my own based on some @CenturiVonKikie's design.
Anyways, just an underqualified noob talking. Take no heed...
@AtlasMilitaryIndustries Is the entire ATLAS military robotic or do they "just" use those super-fancy AIs as some sort of OP auxiliary (a la Sentou Yousei Yukikaze)?
@spefyjerbf Pretty sure you ain't gonna reach high orbit if you can't even get to LEO...
Also, delta-V means something else: it means the change in the spacecraft's velocity after expending the entire fuel load - and a impulse-craft should, in theory, have an infinite delta-V as long as the reactor power holds.
Suddenly realized that this voidframe can't really go into orbit even before the Grounding: 15,000 mph = 6705m/s < 7900m/s... So was it RIDs back then or was it something like "not my fault this thing starts to disintegrate"?
@spefyjerbf Ofc I was exaggerating a bit when I said rebuilding it, but you either go full intercipias or you go for accurate barrage. Something with a small hitbox, low projectile speed, and Xtreme spread isn't hitting anything beyond pointblank. In case anyone's wondering, my standards of "good CIWS" is "to be able to accurately shoot down ATGMs", so I guess I might have been a bit too harsh on it...
@UsualPiooneer Good! Machine guns, auto cannons, plasma repeaters.... as long as your weapon is a continuous-fire one with a boolean input you can use it. For cannons, just change the FireGuns to FireWeapons and you're all set.
@spefyjerbf The point is that you won't be adding to the heat gauge after you overheated. And it will start cooling from a set "max" right after you release the firing mechanism. And compared to those used on Edgecrusher's "Orbidyn CFC-MR" flak cannons, this thing is much more reliable and straightforward. The rotary cannon in this prototype is my prototype plasma CIWS derived from the Intercepias Prototype CIWS.
Shouldn't it be called something like "Revenant" or "Graveriser", though? ...Or I will shoot it down with my peashooter. Yes, that's a Plants vs Zombies reference.
@FeatherWing Sorry, I sorta vaguely remember making that comment somewhere but didn't quite pay attention to whom. Pretty sure I only started to follow you a few month ago. And it's only now I realized whose plane I commented on. Sorry.
The lore is good, the flight model... Let's just say that the sensitivity on the gyro-stabilizers should be linked to VTOL lever as the plane does not really have a neutral trim: the engines, both the atmospheric plasma drives and the orbital distortion drives have a tendency to pitch the craft up (the fact that the drive have a noticeable "pulse" doesn't help either). Also, as the coding on my own version of the system looks like "(YawRate * 25) - (Yaw * 625)", I'm pretty sure that even with sensitivity control(s) we don't need an entire paragraph's worth of codes...

A submarine in the sky, eh?
Is that a YF-23/F-14 mix? I'm almost feeling sorry for anything that happened to be on the receiving end of this duo...
@Grob0s0VBRa Oh, so "just" archaeotech (whether its original form is considered silica animus is up for debate) corrupted by the ruinous powers, eh?
Ah, that daemon engine, eh?
@Tang0five Thanks pal! I am planning to release one w/ even more size-accurate bombs one day. And perhaps a few M2 Brownings as well...
Zhara! Good to see ya 'gain!
@GuyFolk
up above 90 degrees
IIRC the cobra is supposed to go beyond 90 degrees...

Holy... I promise I'll try to learn from this design as much as I can.

A robotic/autonomous ace pilot?
Are there any restrictions on the guns and/or cannons?

@frogbot4000 And now imagine if their weapons have the muzzle velocity higher than that of a baseball...

@spefyjerbf Pretty sure even FT codes can't save something like this... Trust me, I tried. Not without rebuilding it from ground up at least.
Given this thing's effective range of around 5 meters, I'm formally declaring this plasma pumpjack to be an energy shield instead of a CIWS system...

@MinyLynx Am I the only one on this 'site to turn turret elevation mechanisms into heat gauges?
@Spefyjerbf
Oi, ol' Grobs, zoggin' gud job!

...Or I will shoot it down with my peashooter.
Yes, that's a Plants vs Zombies reference.
@Griffon1 And wasting fuel in the process?
How do you take off?
f i r s t
@FeatherWing Good. Waiting to see the new plane.
@FeatherWing Sorry, I sorta vaguely remember making that comment somewhere but didn't quite pay attention to whom. Pretty sure I only started to follow you a few month ago. And it's only now I realized whose plane I commented on. Sorry.
@FeatherWing Starting to wonder if "Osrokee" sounds better...
@FeatherWing Wait that's you? Holy sh#t!
Gladly!
@MAHADI Exactly.
@TurtlesThatFly Set the guns to disableAircraftCollisions = "true"

I can't decide... Both look so beautiful!
@50CalChicken MOAR. DAKKA.
Ok, silliness aside, I just love the notion of filling the sky with fire and lead.
MOAR DAKKA! NEVAR 'NUFF DAKKA!! WAAAAGGGHHH!!!

Congrats on gold!
Is this supposed to be a farming equipment on Mars or what?
Yes I'm talking about the front wheels resembling something on the mars rovers.
