Hey... this is totally OOC.

As you probably know, I'm an avid creator of aircraft for use in the NS world, it's one of my passions in this game. I have seen that you two (specifically Aequatio and Space Union) both are quality creators of aircraft.

So... I was wondering if either of you would want to collaborate to create some aircraft.

What kind of aircraft did you have in mind?

I'm currently doing a couple of projects, but I'm interested. Like Aequatio asked, what kind of aircrafts are you thinking about?

Can I get involved? I need new aircraft for my military, as my F-22s and F-35s are aging fairly quickly.

If you need a replacement for them, just check out my SuF-8 Phoenix, I even modify them for your nations own needs. ;)

OOC - Yeah, true, but I sorta want something less expensive. I'm actually looking into the 'austere fighter' concept - a pure, fly-by-wire, fighter, using passive sensors (so as to not put out signals) and short-range IR missiles (so as to not rely on a system that could fail, like a BVRAAM), along with high maneuverability and speed, to take down enemy fighters. It was the basic idea behind the F-16, although that plane got watered down somewhat.

I'm not sure how useful that would be because it sure would have to be a very short-ranged fighter. Exactly how cheap do you need this fighter? I have the SuF-7 Nightmare which is around $80 million. Cheaper than the F-22 but it is far better. I'm willing to give you a souped up version of that if you wish at only a small increase in price to meet your needs. :)

There's my F-2 fighter which was directly inspired by the F-16 fighter as a lightweight, air superiority fighter. It uses short-range IR-guided weapons and cannons to engage enemy aircraft. It may be good to have a look (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=477867).

I'm wanting to work on an air superiority fighter. Something with a lot of firepower and a lot of speed. No stealth, just straitforward brutally, deadly.

We could do that, although with two new fighters, I don't think I'd adopt it for my air force. But I would be willing to work on it, plus development and testing could occur at the Dark Basin Research Facility in the Aequatian Western Desert.

I'm not sure yet; I'll set up a Force Review thread, in which I'll decide what planes, ships, tanks, and so on will be in my military. Kinda like Kahanistan's thread...

I was more thinking, since this is OOC, of helping design a plane in general; I think that my corporations should have more planes...

To be honest, speed does very little for most designs these days. Its more about stealth and maneuverability and advanced avionics/sensor systems.

Alright, when you post it up I'll submit the SuF-7 as a contender if you don't mind. :)

I'm guessing he is very late-PMT.

Probably. I'm late-MT/early-PMT myself; although we're in 2017, our native tech is a bit behind (except for our ships, and to a lesser extent our tanks).

Well... I'd like to try something with a heck of a lot of maneuverabnility, and a heck of a lot of firepower, and a heck of a lot of electronics.

Personally I'm in mid-late MT.

We could do something along the lines of a fighter with fifth-generation capabilites, it would be cost-effective and could remain in service for quite a while.

Damn, another fighter (sorry I've made like 10 fighters non-stop so I'm kind of sick of it ;) ). But still I'm willing to help out with stats and equipment, though, I already have fighters in my service so I won't need this.
