• highly maneuverable
• decent defenses and weapons

Weaknesses:

• Low range
• high power consumption
• blades are vulnerable

DESCRIPTION
Made to be the second part to the Nest.
the hornet is held in the Nest's hold with both pilot and gunner housed inside it with the wings rotors and tail tucked inside.
as the Hornet has a low range and high power consumption.
the hornet needs to be transported before acting as a turret and recon vehicle.
the Hornet is a drone vehicle controlled via the rear command module housed in the Nest vehicle.

Hello again. This is quite a dangerous craft. I can imagine this thing being a nightmare if it existed in real life.

That said, this craft is simply too effective as it stands. A meter long it is simply too small with all its features, along with using handheld weapons in an attack craft. My recommendations are to either make this a remote controlled, lightly armoured drone that could be exploited from that perspective; or beef this up into a full blown two man sized gunship with reasonable evasiveness for its size.

I hope this helps.

i want it manned but a drone could work if you insist.
i can drop the sheilds if needed make it all gun no defence.
[member="The Major"]
it is intended for a 12 inch tall race. thus its small size.

 

[The Major]

How about one pilot, so that they would use radio support to maintain situational awareness on the field.

I see you dropped the shields so the craft is more of a "glass" cannon. That's good.

Finally, you are stating that the craft achieves thrust via rotors like a helicopter. Maneuverable as they are keep in mind that even if a helicopter is small -that does not mean it can jink about as though it was assisted by jet engines. If you make a concession to have it fully remote controlled, I would accept some sort of emergency directional boosters that could, for instance, cut operational life drastically when used.

How does that sound?

made it a drone control via a console in the Nest.
i dropped the speed to moderate. i was trying to model this after a real life rc Drone
also added link to the " mother " vehicle

Production: Mass

Maneuverability: Extreme

One of these need to be lowered. Either drop production to limited or reduce the maneuverability to Very High.
