Description
A futuristic gunship - pretty and fully functional. Pitch control cheat mode using a BF Pitch Trim Gyro. HE Adjustment Thrusters for turning and additional lift. Turreted guns (including HE Hunter Railguns) for looks, missiles for practicality. Hopeless battery capacity, so it has a BF Block Controller Switch to disable shields when not in use. Boosters for bonus speed and help quickly ascending/descending without having to adjust the lift throttle.

For a little bit of roll control, you could place a BF small adjustment thruster (painted black) on top of the rotor (and move the radar elsewhere). But the Pitch Trim Gyro is very strong, so won't permit full lean control. And if the tail Adjustment Thruster looks too ugly, you can remove it at the expense of 2 in place of each of the outer (Seeker) Missile launchers.

It should work fine with the default "Helicopter" control scheme (and default key bindings), but I made some tweaks to have the main steering controls all around WASD, on the one hand, freeing the other for mouse camera control.

Design based on a couple of Google image search results for "sci-fi helicopter" (hence the creative tech name), shown above. Source 1[www.artstation.com], Source 2[www.deviantart.com].

Built for the developer's community core stream themed on replacing the Hawkeye starter helicopter tech in creative mode. Submitted here on the main forum: https://forum.terratechgame.com/index.php?threads/mini-heli-community-core-submit.19807/post-139165

Rayquandia - No idea. Certainly not any day soon. Sorry.

@ZeroGravitas do you have a plan to upload anything on your channel again? just asking.

Thanks @Rayquandia, I'm still pleased with it, and it's only a little over a year old, which is almost as new as it gets, with my creations... Lol.

@ZeroGravitas - I know that all too well, I favor aesthetics over functionality when building my techs most times. As for helis that can kill stuff, I've also built a few ;)
I'll definitely have to test a few of your techs in-game!

@GlauGast - to be honest, it looks better than it functions, in practical campaign terms. But it still flies far better than most of the proper TerraTech helicopters and can actually kill stuff. But the battery capacity is total pants...

This looks like an absolute unit! I need to test it in-game:steamhappy:
