RSI Aurora Mk II

flight-ready Multi-Role Starter / Light Fighter Size 2 since Alpha 4.7.0

A new take of the classic ship, Roberts Space Industries has reimagined the tried-and-true Aurora from the struts up. Introducing the Aurora Mk II. Everything from the ship's performance, usability, to its styling has been overhauled with a new generation of pilots in mind. Plus, this latest version introduces a new trick for the Aurora series - swappable modules. Rather than locking pilots into a single career path, these modules allow for straightforward operational specialization from the comfort of your hangar. Whether you're a first-time shipowner, or a long-time pilot ready for an upgrade to your daily flyer, the Aurora Mk II is waiting for you.
