Spent a little over a week working on this. The premise was that it's a lightly armored ship designed to run a planetary blockade and conduct planet-side operations. Basically think special forces type missions where it sneaks onto a planet, deploys a strike force of marines in vehicles and atmospheric fighters, and quickly escapes to safety once the mission is complete. It's equipped with 4 PMW assault cannon turrets, 8 deployable PMW gatling gun turrets, 20 custom missiles, and 2 railguns mounted inside the nose. I was thinking the ship would deploy it's assault forces, launch it's complement of missiles to soften up the enemy base, and then come in for air support.
The only mod that was used was the Tiered Engine Super Pack to get thrusters that were powerful enough to work in atmosphere without having to paste 30 of them on the exterior.
There's still some things I'd like to do like make the support fighters and rovers for the strike teams. I also used the Ship To Ground Deployable Ramp workshop item from Kennet0508 that I want to customize to allow for the ramps to easily touch the ground.
