Papillon (XGL)

"Developed in France as an aerobatics stunt ship and featuring a very compact design for maximum agility, the Papillon Skydancer is light enough to glide almost indefinitely, making it easy to clear mines and other obstacles, and can easily take to the sky as well." Acceleration - 2 Speed - 2 Handling - 8 Shield - 4 Firepower - 3 This ship is unique in that it is very light as long as it remains above the track, so it can glide very far by pulling up. This allows it to go over mines and take turns very tightly. This ground effect does not allow it to skip, however, and it is pretty wide and a bit unwieldy when forced to land. Comes with the standard BNG liveries (Default, Alt, Neon, Clean, Stealth) and the Technicolor livery. (XGL) An experimental offshoot of the AGL with few rules, aimed at encouraging experimental ship designs. Most serious innovations in the AGL found their roots in the XGL.
