OAE-11

OAE-11

A prototype fighter built by a defunct manufacturer. It has foldable wings, conformal fuel tanks and a vectored-thrust system. You have to manually switch to a low exhaust velocity mode to use that though, otherwise the temperature of the plume will blow the engine apart. That's why next the the vectored exhaust control stick is a metal plaque that reads "ENTER LOW EX-V MODE BEFORE USING IF YOU WANT TO LAND IN ONE PIECE" It is capable of carrying a little under half of it's takeoff mass as fuel, but often it is filled with much less, as it doesn't need nearly that much to achieve orbit. In high atmosphere, you can dump the SCRAM fuel to shed mass.

It houses a four-barrel machine gun, and 14 slots for guided rockets. You have to launch them in a certain order though, or they will crash into each other and blow you up. In atmosphere, MHD, Ram, SCRAM 1 and high-atmosphere SCRAM 2 are used to achieve orbital velocity. This ship is extremely fast and maneuverable, but it's extreme performance is because any semblance of safety was completely disregarded, and the ship offers you a hundred and one easy ways to kill yourself. If you can fly it well and not die in the process, you can shoot down anything in the galaxy.
