PMW-SV-Thunderbird 2 (lvl 20 CPU T4 offensive transporter)

Pears Motor Works proudly presents the Thunderbird 2. Made for the Xcaliber October Designers Replica Challenge.
This SV is part of a MODULAR BUILD. PMW was asked to take the vessels from International Rescue to the 26th century, whilst still keeping their original style.
The Thunderbird 2 is capable to dock on a CV cargo POD that also can hold a miner HV; the Mole. The POD can act as a interstellar warp vessel and functions as a mobile base when landed.

The Thunderbird 2 can function as POI attack vessel; activate the shield, enter the combat cockpit and snipe the turrets off with the railguns, clear some ground troops with the lasers.. and plasma cannons are also added for good measure. But.. the main attraction: it also can hold a big load of cargo and has a heavy lift mode for extra thrust available.
All comforts are on board to sustain the people from International Rescue on their missions.
- Kitchenette
- Bathroom
- easy access to the combat cockpit from all sides
- 2 Emergency exit shutes (self closing after use)
- 2 Drone hatches
- Ammo System holds 5500 units
- 2 Cargo Systems of 32.000 units each
- 2 constructors
- Shield
- Warp
- Wifi
- extra storage space
- armor lockers
- O2 dispensers
- automated ramps
- etc.

-4 Rail guns
-4 Plasma cannons
-4 Pulse lasers
- Spawnable at Level 20
- CPU Tier 4 @105.182 / 100.000
- Sizeclass 5

Park the CV POD as level as possible. Park the Mole in the CV POD before docking the Thunderbird 2 on top! In the POD: close the ramps (lever). Hop in the Thunderbird 2 and land it on top of the CV POD. When the roof is flush with the CV POD roof you can fly a bit backward to dock. Turn off the Power of the Thunderbird and hop in the POD to begin your rescue mission!
There are a lot of switches; the weapons system, heavy lift mode, and powersafe mode (flight systems) are also switch able from the P menu. When you use a switch to turn something off, you need to use the switch again to turn them on. Same goes for the P menu. (I used AND signals for these).

This showcases the build and how to dock it. Easy Peasy. The builds have been slightly tweaked since, to become alpha 11 compliant. (and added a docking pad here and there.. bit more fluff.. and LCDs, loads of em ;) )

join in on the fun, no contests, just exchange of ideas and see how people interpret these challenges.

for Xcaliber's November Challenge (CPU T2 build with upgrade options) I did FAB1, the pink limo of Lady Penelope.
Slowely but surely I will make the whole Thunderbirds series vehicles for Empyrion, and contemplating on Tracy Island base.. wich might become a bit too large. Will see. Throw in a follow if you want to keep up to date with this series.
