Possible use of the Anubis after 2335
The Anubis Mk. II in Pandora has just two primary banks and is treated as a space superiority fighter.  The Thoth's weapons capacity seemed kind of screwy, too.

That's why I'm planning to tear open the .tbl's and see what the problem is.

I prefer to just skip all the technical nonsense and say they've got anti-gravity which allows their ships to both hover and ignore gravity when leaving the atmosphere.

After all, they've got artificial gravity. So why shouldn't they have anti-gravity too?

If that's the case, wings are about as useful to a fighter as the spoiler on a sportscar.

and thats not true anyway.

You would need that kind of accelleration if you went STRAIGHT UP (rocket like). You can however, fly at an angle which makes things a lot easier - but it will take longer. Technically, everything that can fly and uses a space-capable thruster will be able to leave the atmosphere. Especially since FS-fighters have infinite fuel.

Artificial Gravity implies some form of Gravity Control System, not necessarily Anti-Gravity.  The ships could produce an energy field that modifies it's subjective mass even to negative values, which simulates anti-gravity.

The can leave the atmosphere because they have infinite fuel? If my motorcycle had infinite fuel, could it leave the atmosphere?

Okay, so say I put wings on it, and a thruster. I'd still need to go fast enough to beat gravity.

I think the remaining ships were used for police duties after the Great War. Behind the frontline.

I just like the Anubis, so I'd be forced to say that the Vasudan Gov't couldn't spend money on designing a whole new fleet until a new 'home' could be established, either in Aldebaaran, or elsewhere. So the Anubi (?) where still being produced for the light skirmishes between the remaining shivan forces, pirate groups, HoL.  Or hell, the HoL captured the Thoth shipyards, it's possible Anubis plans where there, and the HoL continued production way into the 2340's (Or whenever Templar took place)

Bah... I made a poopy with the Cbanim... Those skies are actually some kind of fighter escorting the transport!! ;)
In atmosphere there are 2, but in space there are 3. :)
