PFS - F - Dragonfly Fighter

Update 4/8/15 - hooked the cockpit up to the conveyor system for oxygen supply. since i cannot place a generator or tank within the fighter without extensive redesign, you will have to resort to placing oxygen bottles in the storage containers for your oxygen.

Mass: 41,936 kg Acceleration: 10.41 m/s^2 (applies to both forward and side thrust) Weapons: 6 Autocannons Storage: 43 Small Containers Connectors: 1

The Dragonfly was developed to be a side strafing fighter, allowing a kind of dogfighting tactic that differs from the typical forward + manueverability focus that is common in atmospheric fighters. It therefore has equal acceleration in both forward and on the sides. Its relatively heavy armament of 6 autocannons help it to chew apart enemy fighters, as well as do some damage to larger targets.

*Note: I have added a switch to turn the front autocannons (the two closest to the cockpit) on and off. If you are strafing sideways over 68 m/s, you will need to turn them off to avoid damage. The other 4 can remain on, and I have not found any other self-inflicted damage performing any other maneuver.
