V.M.E Hrist Close Air Support Gunship

Description
The A.MS-CAS-1 "HRIST" Gunship is an aerospace combat support vessel by Valkyrja - Maintenance & Engineering. Operated by a single pilot, the HRIST was designed as a multi-purpose platform for planetside operations, including air-reconnaissance, air-to-surface-interception, direct fire support, escort-duties, force projection, commando transport and general short-range shuttles.

Short ranged, but capable of space travel, the HRIST can be deployed from orbit and escape planetary gravity, als long as decent fuel-reserves remain. Atmospheric thrust is strong enough to operate within up to 2.0 G of gravity. Multiple hydrogen boosters enable the vessel to quickly enter and retreat from a hotzone and significantly improve the HRISTs manouverbility in combat-situations.
Armament consits of six 200mm Rocket Launchers to engage targets on the ground, as well as two 25mm fixed Gatling Guns to fend of opposing airborne units. However, the Hrist is not suited to gain and maintain air supperiority. So it relies on a capable escort when operation in contested airspace.

This item is survival-ready! It is fully conveyor-linked, thruster-damage compatible and uses no mods and no DLC-blocks.

"The Template"
My original intention was to create a BSG-themed version of my Valkyrie IRV for a friend, so it made sense to aim towards a colonial Raptor here. It didn't take long until I found this beautiful Colonial Raptor by Husker54 and incorporated some of its features into my build. Now, on second look, I have to admit that the finished ship shares a lot more similarities with Huskers design than I intended. So it is only fair to credit him here.

"extra survivable! with no doors, you can't even get in, so you're less likely to die when you crash it." but seriously, have you got something against doors? not the first VME vehicle i've looked at with no doors.

this look's cool, loving all your designs so far, how did you make that first image btw? specifically how did you capture that image of the ship?

A warning: the sub grids are acting up. Started to roll once the were retracted

I'm just coming back to SE. and love your ships. But on this what are the wheels for? or decoration? I feel like they have a purpose? but being super flat against bottom, I'm not sure. Thanks again, keep the ships coming.

Hey @Wigwambam,
it's really hard to nail down the time I spend on a blueprint, since this varies by the overall size, complexity and demand of the build. Usually I start a project after I encounter a specific problem on our survival server and need to create a ship or vehicle to overcome it. In this occasions, the basic build is done pretty quickly. But the hours can stack up depending on the time I have to add additional details or features. A lot of time is also spend on testing the build. I've got some items that were done in less than 24h as well as some I've been tinkering around with for weeks of playtime.

@Taidyr Im curious how much time you spend on your designs? I think i like every V.M.E. Ship/vehicle that ive seen. If you have some design tips, that would be wonderful
