//Specs//

2 railguns with a staggered charge system.

Shoot_1+ and Shoot_2+ are your triggers, bind these to your weapon hotkeys (space by default).

Sensitivity settings are adjustable from a yolo chip located in front of the pilot seat, this chip only adjusts your sense settings and is not vital to the operation of the aim system, you can use the U-tool save feature to save your sense settings to the ship post print.

CenterSensePlus is your standard sensitivity, Adjust to your preferred flying sensitivity.

AimMax- and AimMin- is your Aim hotkey, Bind both to the same keybind, this will lower your sensitivity, Adjust MinSensePlus to change Aim sensitivity.

AimMax+ and AimMin+ is your Boost hotkey, Bind both to the same hotkey, this will raise your sensitivity, Adjust MaxSensePlus to change Boost sensitivity.

Ship is set to both fly and aim at a smooth sensitivity (tune to your taste), Aim keybind lowers the limits for sniping, Boost keybind removes these limits allowing for faster pitch/yaw.

Armoured using known methods of meta plating, including big plate health, voxel armour, segmented and layered plating and plasma/rail sacrifice plates.

//Design//

Unlike a more traditional fighting ship, the Xothian is made to fight using jousting instead of orbiting, focusing on hit and run tactics.

The key feature is the yolo controlling the railgun charge, the ship is in reality a 1 rail fighter, with the ability to buffer a additional rail shot when the first is fully charged.

This provides several advantages, the additional rail shot doubles your damage when jousting your opponent, it also allows you to fire sooner with one railgun being ready to fire before charging the second, making snap firing at targets when they present themselves easier, finally you are able to continuously fire 1 railgun at a high rate just as a equivalent sized single railgun ship.

Very slim flat profile from front and sides to reduce the ships silhouette when turning into jousts, the overall size and shape is very compact.

Primarily made of Oni, Char and Ymr plates.

Can be made into a lighter more affordable rail fighter by swapping plate mats, but some of the armour plates will lose effectiveness, particularly against rails/plasma.
