"Sparrow" Scout Bomber
By LazySpaceRaptor
[BROKEN]
[] I would reccommend against using this design as rudders have been updated. Though the "Ghost Rudder" lockup sometimes experienced when being healed is gone, the rudders are now less stabilizing, doing away with most thruster sticks. Controlling this bot is near impossible now. I will work towards an updated design to combat this. []
This Guide is for a small Single-Plasma. I would reccommend this build for intermediate players, but anyone can go try it if they like, as it uses less than 500 cpu.

Introduction
This guide is for a fun and strategic single-weapon hover.
To build it you will need the following:
Chassis
10 T-10 Armored Cubes
4 T-10 Armored Prisms
Movement
4 T2 Thrusters
4 T4 Thrusters
2 T9 Hoverblades
1 T8 Rudder
Hardware
1 T9 Plasma Launcher
1 T9 Electroplate R
1 T9 Electroplate L
Special
1 T5 Enemy Radar
2 T5 Radar Jammers
1 Pilot Seat (duh)

Estimated Value:
RP: ~490,000
GC: ~8,300
Building The Chassis

(hit the comma to move blocks up)

Short, simple, and sweet.
Adding Movement Cubes

You can downtier the thrusters, or change the tier of the hoverblades and rudder if you choose to.
Special Function Cubes

Upgrading the Enemy Radar is optional, but anything higher than a T5 Radar Jammer will not fit on the tail.
Mounting Hardware
Feel free to use different weapons if you like, but the electroplates are kinda stuck with this build.
Good Luck and Have Fun
Thanks and have fun flying your new UCT Sparrow. Feel free to share your variations as well, and if you do use this build, please let me know how it works for you. Thanks.

lol that would be great :D

It's currently being planned and worked on. I'll have to look at the Destiny Sparrow again and try to get some ideas. Or I could always just make it a megabot when the mega thrusters, hoverblades, and rudders come around. :P

maybe u could make a bigger version of the sparrow?

Currently my only working bot is an 8 wheeler medic. I may post a guide for it eventually, but it is more or less cannon fodder.

ok thx

Sort of. when it was first designed, it was quite stable. With the update, it tends to flop whenever you try to turn it.
Platypus 7 Apr, 2015 @ 12:36am 
because the hovers are in the center?
Platypus 7 Apr, 2015 @ 12:36am 
ok so its floppy?

The recent update to rudders and aerofoils has, though fixing the stiffening when healed, broken the stability of this bot, rendering it useless.
