STS,

Keep this up and we'll have to change your callsign to "WEAPS". Dick Chaney could take this thing bird hunting.  Shaping up to be a super cool rootin' tootin' addition to your collection.

[sotoolslinger]

Thank you brother Jeff Like the one armed deputy in Unforgiven said "If I'm gonna get shot, I don't want it to be for lack of shootin back."

[Taiidantomcat]

This just gets cooler every time i click on the thread!! don't know how you think of this, but it is great

[Brian da Basher]

Ahhhhh now that's more like it, Toolslinger! A properly up-gunned Texicun!

Good luck with the PT today. Hopefully it won't keep you away from the bench too long!

Thanks ya'll  I'm off to PT.

[sotoolslinger]

Hey Ya'll. For some reason my laptop won't connect this morning so I can't post new pics. I had to log in on the house comp to post this

[AeroplaneDriver]

Man, this thing is looking mean.   

I love that it has the same heavy cannons as my fighter. 

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks AD  Definitely love those cannons Just something you might consider , in my back story a discovery of a photokinetic crystal forest on one of Neptune's moons allows KNZ Armory to modify these cannon to fire ammo made from weaponized lab grown crystals which when hit with a lazer convert to a dense plasma bolt  My aircraft stagger load their cannon with standard armor piercing explosive railgun ammo with these crystal energy projectiles

Back online  here are some update pics
finalised under wing weapons loadout




Electromagnetic pulse projectors



Possible added manuvering thrusters

Will probably change that to hypermagnetic gravity manipulators like are installed in the canards
Wing tips will also have steering gear top and bottom


I am working on a phased plasma weapon to be mounted on a turret on the bottom of the craft for defensive use and ground/capitol ship attack
Pics later

Tch - you know if you were really trying, you could have got at least five more missiles in there:



Lightweight.........

[sotoolslinger]

Yeah ....well.... those missiles would have had to have been in the wrong scale............. and anyway they would interfer with the flaps

[sotoolslinger]

Besides who needs extra missiles when you have these options
Standard Light Assault Accessory (pronounced Slay)




This is a mulitispectrum 180 x360 degree sensor suite linked to a Hardbeam laser lance(combined laser and particle beam projector) plumbed directly into the fuel system and  the Asunder Construct main drive.
Just a minute

Needs more cowbell....     

[BlackOps]

Needs more cowbell....     

one of my favorite SNL skits     I don't think there's room for a cowbell on there anywhere, now maybe I nice set of Longhorn steer horns 

[sotoolslinger]

But wait there is also the Heavy Assault Combat Accessory(pronounced Hacker) a Phased Plasma Beam projector with a range of just under 100 miles

This weapon is rarely deployed as it uses 30% more fuel than the engines at full speed

This is actually the most powerful per shot weapon that the craft can be equipped with and it's flexible mount allows great versitility but in a combat situation it can be overused to the point that it draws all fuel from the craft and shuts down or "kills" the reactor.
It requires a Toolslinger Engine Works Burn Ignition Actuator Complex (the size of a small house ) and a cowbell to restart a "dead" reactor
