The predecessor of this bomber, a hastily built vessel that rode the development wave that was the imminent threat of what would result in the invasion of Sigma 13 by the Rheinland Military, was a vessel born of pure functionality and need of purpose over the usual artistic lines of Kusari craft. The results of that original need of purpose can be found drifting through Sigma 13 to this day. Generations of refinement have resulted in the Gas Miners Guild possessing a bomber of rich heritage and performance that easily rivals house militaries.

Handling

Review without version number

Review A true god of clouds. Stylish, compact, well-built bomber with good enough armaments and hull to be able to fight transports and capital vessels as well as successfully counter fighters and bombers (Especially it works well with zoomed out camera, though you need to know how to steer the ship with keyboard). I was my first ever bomber I actually used to fly, and, definitely, one I love most of all. But if consider that I am not a good bomber pilot, and most of the time I roleplay peacefully, I find it simply pleasant to fly and enjoyable to admire its shape and that rheinland`ish cylindrical engine reactors, which in this case looks not like rough green furnaces, but like really hi-tech accelerators. I even find Kaichou a bit similar to the "Conference" Zoner gunship in its appearance, which makes it even more pleasant to use.
