C-Fighter ARC-4 (Early)

The ARC-4 Early Version of the C-Fighter is distinguished from the earlier ARC-3 and the later ARC-4 (Late) by it's use of landing skids, which aren't used again until the ARC-8DC. The craft has the Mark-3 Supercomputer developed by Spencon Electronics, back when Spencon was just a computer company.

Development
The ARC-4E was developed by Deron War Craft as a natural evolution of the ARC-3, with a new supercomputer. At this point, DWC was also working on an anti-gravity booster system, which was planned to be implemented into the whole DWC line within a Marin. However, the new system wasn't ready by the launch date of the ARC-4 and an ARC-3 style rocket system had to be used instead. DWC also had to deal with complaints from customers regarding the wheel system frequently failing and sometimes breaking completely. To solve this problem, they replaced the wheels with three skids, which also took up less space in the fuselage than the wheels, allowing for increased space for a fuel tank for the rocket system.
