not even a full month after jumbo had been greenlit and sold the same blokes were already wrapping up the final stages for "Erika" it was the same deal for Jumbo as it was for Erika, but with one difference, Erika was going to be a tiger one whereas jumbo was a Sherman but regardless of type, Jeun soon found herself walking down that same corridor again as the doors shunted open she was surprised to see Erika up and at the ready “well, it would look like somebody is eager for the day” jeun would toss Erika her things “get ready we're late” as the two walked down the hall Erika could see just how many rooms there was ” were there more just like her?” she continued walking, her mind is filled with thoughts right until they reached what seemed to be a transport of some sort. Jeun's cold and emotionless voice filled the air “no more testing, it’s your big day now” Erika's mind was filled with one word, freedom.
Erika was later given to a group of mercs who would leave stranded to die on a freighter. Luckily a group of Samaritans were searching the freighter for survivors and found Erika. They would later leave her on a station called “Valhalla” with enough money to get a craft and get started on her feet. she used the money to modify her guns and smuggle an SAS hawker hurricane.M and modify the living hell out of it to the point where she can win in a 2v1 against two Swift FR.13’s.
spacecraft
[1:radar/comms
[2:cockpit (includes armouring)
[3:lean sublight fuel
[4:rich sublight fuel
[5:60mm autocannons
[6:45mm MGs
[7:core shielding unit
[8:reactor core
[9: Calypso turret system
[10: Engine/thruster
[11: Ailerons/RCS control ports
[12: Elevators/RCS control ports
[13: Hardpoints
Erika’s spacecraft is a hawker hurricane she smuggled and stole purchased from SAS authorities she has yet to reprogram the radio set so it still appears as if a SAS craft is trying to make contact
Speed (VAC)
Top speed: N/A
Acceleration:170 M/S
speed (ATMO)
Top speed: Mach 6 (can go up to seven but doing so is dangerous)
Acceleration: 150 M/S
(important info: to achieve these speeds Erika programmed her shield systems to focus on scooping away the air to reduce drag and remove the risk of her wings ripping off of her craft this however means her shields do not stop projectiles coming at her)
turrets
calypso turret system
The calypso turret system is a SAS turret system that Erika has stolen purchased from the SAS military and modified
The dual laser system in the rear of the craft can be A.I. controlled or manned, the damage from one of these bolts has the same stopping power as a 3.5-inch shell filled with an SAP mix said bolts fire alternating at 0.5-second intervals between each diode the turret offers a 360-degree rotation angle with a fairly good rotation speed.
modifications
Better lenses (better range and power)
Better turret ring and hydraulics (better traverse speed)
Coolant around the “barrels” (less chance of overheat)
Extra battery slots (basically more ammo)
MARE-48 “over-clock” thruster
The “over-clock” is the same thruster used in the Folland Gnat, attacker, hawker hurricane and swift although, to fit these many roles the engine is highly modular and is easy to repair due to this along with being highly modifiable and easy to fit into almost any spots one can think of Erika took advantage of this an made the engine into a sight to behold
modifications
Improved alternator
Two more combustion chambers and piping leading to the main exhaust bell
Better radiator/coolant system
Increased gimbal range
Armouring of the exhaust bell
Shock absorbers ((better on the engine and pilot for when slamming the throttle fully open out of nowhere))
Supercharger
Middle hardpoint
This, as the name suggests is your run of the mill hardpoint, attach guns, bombs, cameras, missiles and much more,
don’t know what you had expected, it’s just a hard point dummy Erika
Things
handheld/compactified version of a coilgun
I don't know much about the gun besides it being awesome and taken from the scavenger mothership, but, it was clearly a work of drunk science and by god do I love it -Erika
film reels and other tings from the scavenger mothership ((ask me for better detail upon them discord))
here's a long list of shit we got from the scaver' mothership don't ask about what it is couldn't tell ya myself
- BlackBox) we got lucky and were able to find the damn thing
- tapes of....something?)no clue what these have on them, film, logs....hell, your guess is as good as mine
- tape recorder with a tape in it) we got it off a dead guy, no further questions
- violin) we got off the same dead guy, gave it jumbo, as I said, no further questions
- an old radio of some sort) I like it, it's old, and I like it, yeah, get mad
Photos of the old scavenger mothership
I've always been a sucker for history and old ships like this one, thought it deserved a photo at the very least-Erika
empty bottle of beer
Eh, I have this so I can throw it at people I don’t like, quite fun to do, now, stand still Erika
FG-42 (second pattern)
The FG-42 is an automatic and semi-automatic rifle the size of the carl 98K cambered in 7.92×57mm it has a telescopic sight and fires from an open bolt when in automatic and a closed bolt when firing from semi-automatic and is fed by a 20 round box magazine although, Erika has taken the time to have it feed on belts as well
modifications
Field stabiliser
Magnetic acceleration components in the barrel
improved gas piston system ((lower chances of jams and more ammo choices))
improved bolt system ((better fire rate))
chrome lined barrel
9mm luger
Just your run of the mill luger nothing special about besides some engravings upon the barrel
88mm cannon
this is the same as jumbo's gun, just chambered in 88
Makarov ECIB
stolen from the SAS, no changes to the original ECIB
skills/party tricks
Engineering
Machining
Has a mean right hook
Knows a lot about the history of the second world war
relations
mercs: doesn't trust them but will still work with them
SAS: WANTED! this person has stolen SAS equipment from the 45 CAS wing. bounty: 250.000 credits for her and her ship
black market: bad opinion of them but still will buy things from them in a pinch.
pirate: they love her and she despises them
comrades
jumbo
he's a nice guy and is so far the only other person I've found that's like me so, you could say we're good friends -erika
