Information:

The F-6 is a versatile multirole fighter. Its sleek, aerodynamic design allows for stable flight at very high speeds, while the canards allow for maneuverability, especially at lower speeds. Note that as fuel is depleted, the craft will remain stable, but less so than with full fuel. This will make it more maneuverable, but harder to control. To compensate for this, move the fuel to the farthest forward tank. At lower speeds, the Spike is capable of extremely hard maneuvers, and can even achieve attitudes 180° from its prograde vector.

The F-6’s engines can be replaced with other engine types for different mission types.


  • For a greatly increased range, replace the engines with J-33 Wheesley Turbofan Engines.

  • For an increased maximum speed, replace the engines with J-X4 Whiplash Turbo Ramjet Engines.

  • For an even greater increased maximum speed, replace the engines with CR-7 R.A.P.I.E.R. Engines.
