Description S.U.G. can both stand for Slender Underhand Gunship and "Small" Underhand Gunship as pilots rather refer to them, but aside from the Wraith there aren't many other kinds (maybe two or three, I haven't managed to design any more)

About the Wraith; it is most likely the most REDUNDANT craft the federation's air-force has at its disposal as it doesn't fit any role fully; its neither fast, agile, well armored or armed in any specifically significant way; but it does carry a turret at the back and it is small which, adding its retracting wings and a special ventrally mounted pad that makes it able to "stick"to even vertical surfaces, this all makes it very easy to hide, especially in urban settings.

Also, cause of its lack of specialization, the Wraiths are favored by enforcers, specifically the law-enforcing kind.

Just like with the B.U.G.s I already have drawn, the S.U.G (that's the front pair of wings here) can be jettisoned as a weapon should the need arise and the plane will gain speed and reach (a lot of energy bleeds off through the vectoring thrusters and weapons in that array) but loses agility in the process.

The plane can carry two large sized warheads or four smaller ones externally, but this doesn't allow it to stick to surfaces at all because of the added weight exceeding the capacity of the 'suction'-pad.

I forgot to note; they're also called "Lampreys" sometimes, depending on who's using them

They're all spoiled now, honey. >w<

anyway, moving onto the piccy...

I love the design. >w<

Maybe it's only good for...recon? :3 and in large numbers sort of?

XD maaaaaybe nah, now they all gotta make due till.. well within another ten days :3

Thanks hun, another oldie, just needed to re-style it a bit since it looked so bulky in the old pics; hmm, no.. think it wouldn't survive recon and in large numbers they get spotted and dart away like a swarm of flies shooed off by a flyswatter heh heh ^^ there are more stealthy alternatives, so in the story, its only gonna be seen in the hands of the enforcers :3 still maybe you got a point, hmmm

:3 true.

Of course. ^^ Yeah, I don't know, i think they can be used for diversionary tactics. O.o
Though, recon would help if systems are synced to a main control center from the ships so if it gets destroyed the data's already been transferred? ^^
I don't know. XD

Dunno if anyone's willing to go on that kinda suicide missions though...
ah.. same thing, who's gonna fly them, but you got a point, if the leaders can talk the pilots into accepting the terms.. nah, don't think it'll happen since there's a shortage of pilots and they don't trust computers to fly them (or risk having the enemy turn them against themselves) hmm, good reasoning though, that's my logical Wufflez *squeezes*

Why not like a video game of sorts? :3 Controlled remotely by remote. XD

There could be a precaution for the ships to selfdestruct automatically if an enemy tries to hack. ^^

:3 Nah, I just have my strategic moments. >w<

Hmm.. you're right, up to a point at least and at least during the current script. (there's a funny little scene I'm trying to weave into a later script where a remote craft encounters a "wasp" a drone that stings it to physically sever the direct control link-up so that the -now infected- auto-pilot takes over)

Didn't think about that *hmms and thinks about the aforementioned scene* damn hun you're smart ^^

more like that you're insanely practical :3
