Pitbull Bomber (Exploration Find)

Description
Not my creation/design. Found during exploration.

The more I examine this ship the more amazed I am at it's design and theoretical effectiveness.

Seems to be a heavily armed small ship bomber/fighter. Very maneuverable and very fast to accelerate due to lots of well placed thrusters and many, many gyroscopes. Came loaded with quite a few missiles and some platinum in its hold. It can also be fully flown via remote control. A camera underneath allows bombing strafe missions to be quite deadly as it has many self-reloading missiles pointing down. I can't wait to test this out during some target practice.

Naming of certain systems makes the design appear to be of "Old-Earth" Russian.

Without a large-ship antenna, it is not ideal for exploration, but does make a fantastic ship to have at my homebase for defense.

Cheers to the contributor! http://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=327092859

I am finding that these derelict ships are simply floating out in space in no close prximity to asteroids.

Right now I am using the GPS system to place probes in an ever-expanding 3D grid-system around the origin (0,0,0) point of my very-system friendly "world". It is open to "friends" who wish to see my continually growing "museum" of ships.

Thanks for the original author's link. Friend request sent.

This was actualy the third ship that I have found in my exploration attempts (thank's to Midspace's "/scan" (and "/scan2" mod). The first two, I forgot to blunt. One was a fighter called the Longsword (something) and it was right next to what looked like a troop transporter called the "Coockle Monster" (both were small ships, but the transporter was huge). I accidentally damaged both wingtips of the Longsword (thruster damage from my hauling AEP ship) and will need to download it to restore it. I think I can go back to and blue-print the larger one, though, so keep an eye out for it.
