X-81 SABER droo defence force combat shuttle, crew of 2, 2 passengers, full cockpit.

Ship capabilities:
SSTO - capable of getting to any planet/moon
VTOL - vertical takeoff/landing and hovering.
Auto (center of mass) thrust centering - vizzy ensures your VTOL thrusters are always in balance.
Translation controls - high accuracy control of shuttle while using VTOL thrusters.
Hover mode - vizzy will hold shuttle at altitude (player can still use slider 1 to alter altitude)
Ultra Hyper-sonic - capable of mach 11+ in droo atmosphere (do not go hyper/ultra hyper-sonic without jettisoning all weapon pylons.)
Planet scanner - gives info on targeted astral bodies.
Extremely maneuverable

Armed to the teeth with functioning weapons:
- twin internal wing laser cannons
- twin wing mounted pods with 28 high explosive rockets
- 4 racks with total of 12 extremely high explosive bombs.
- bombs can be relesed in pairs or all simultaneously for a MOAB level explosion.

• Vizzy program has pitch/roll auto level assist while vertical thrusters are active. Hover assist will hold the ship at its current altitude (can still use slider 1 to assend/descend while hover is active). Vizzy program will automaticaly adjust vertical thrusters to be in line with ships center of mass on the fly. This includes changes in Com due to fuel burn or cargo changes.

• Turn on translation controls (same as RCS translation) and while hovering; joystick pitch will move the ship forward/reverse. Joystick roll will move ship left/right. To turn; turn off translation and use joystick yaw to rotate the ships direction. Gives super tight control over the ship while in hover.

Controls:

AG1 - Laser canons on/off
AG2 - main plasma drive on/off
AG3 - RCS on/off
AG4 - exterior lights
AG5 - cabin lights
AG6 - VTOL (vertical trusters) on/off
AG7 - hover assist (hold altitude) on/off
AG8 - landing gear extend/retract
AG9 - planet scanner on/off (gives info on targeted body)
AG10 - bomb pickle - each tap will release a pair of bombs (will destroy you if released under 200m)
AG11 - launch rocket - each tap will release a pair of rockets

Pitch/roll/yaw - as default
Pitch/roll translation (same as RCS) turned on - move ship forward/reverse/left/right while hovering
Throttle - main plasma drive power
Slider 1 - vertical thrust plasma drive power
Slider 3 - camera zoom
Slider 4 - used by vizzy to control center of mass adjustment (no need for player to use)
Break - wheel breaks
Ship has no jet engines so no thrust reversers. The translation (turn on translation mode) thrusters can be used to slow down the shuttle on fixed wing landings.

Stages:
1 - all engines
2 - simultaneous bomb release. This will pickle all bombs at once (big big BIG explosion). It will also jettison all the bomb mounts.
3 - jettisons the rocket pods.
4 and 5 hold positions for rocket mounts. They are unused. After stage 3 all the weapon points have already been jettisoned.

NOTE: when flying on Sergeaa if the atmosphereic pressure is over 1.2kg/m^3 do not exceed 150m/s or the pressure will rip the shuttle apart. For a safety buffer stay at 100 m/s. When high enough the pressure is at the 1.2kg/m^3 or lower you can go to full throttle again.

The laser weapons require xml editing, thus making the shuttle not usable in career mode. I have a version of the X-81 that does not have the lasers and is career mode friendly. It still has the rockets and bombs. I will upload the career mode friendly version soon.
