Viking 1

VIKING 1 is an advanced craft with excellent mobility, best filling the pirate, explorer or scout roles. It comes with a detachable micro base that allows it to perform interplanetary jumps! There are hardpoints for your own upgrades; you can easily add more weapons or equipment to this versatile craft.

Viking's strongest feature is its immense thrust. With three types of engines it can go to and from planet's surface with ease, and it handles really well in the atmosphere. It is fun to fly.

The Microbase has an assembler that you can use to recycle captured or salvaged components, and you can upgrade it at will.

There are multiple hardpoints under the wings that you can fill up with your own weapon loadouts. For now I've placed two mini-drones that you can use to scout ahead in space, or kamikaze them into enemies. This little drone can even be fired into the planet, and you can use it to scan large areas with a camera while the parachute slows down your descent.

Press 1 to detach from the microbase.
Press 2 and 4 to detach remotely controlled probes under each wing.
The rest is easy to figure out.

Advice:
- when you detach from the microbase, make sure it doesn't drift away (stop it with landing gears and turn it into a static station, for example)

- when you finish the jump, you should detach from the microbase, as the refilling jump drive will drain your power output

Have fun wit this craft. I've spent weeks building the main fuselage and testing the engine/weight ratio. I'm pretty happy with the results although it took so long to fit everything right.

Gemma, their leader, hailed me: “Iyor, we couldn’t get everyone out.”

“Were you attacked by pirates?”

“What? No, it was that damn ace pilot.”

“The one from the cruiser perhaps? The red-and-white heavy fighter?”

Gemma hissed: “That one. Curse his black soul. We simply couldn’t keep up. All of us were on it, but he dodged away to mow down and cripple retreating targets. Then he came back at those moving in to rescue them. Demon!”

From the novel: “Janitors of the Late Space Age”


I’ve written a science fiction novel titled: "Janitors of the Late Space Age" inspired by Space Engineers. If you are looking for something to read - you can get it from Amazon as an electronic book or paperback.
