Description
Vanilla | Survival | Subgrids | Scripts | No DLC |



By request, the C-835A Carryall Dropship as a stand alone blueprint! This transport is designed for lifting mission modules back and forth from the planet’s surface. It utilizes whiplash141’s excellent subgrid thruster control script to enable it to vector tilting thrust modules, allowing it to carry an incredible 5.8 kilotons of material from the earth’s surface into space.

Check out this collection for a selection of module types and motherships:

The transport has its own single jump drive, and amenities for 3 crew members allowing it to also undertake long interplanetary voyages. This ship has been designed specifically to allow you to spawn it in without DLC blocks.



It features a full multi crew Glass cockpit with all the information required to safely operate, it can also be stowed away to allow clear view out of the front of the flight deck.

Just remember to keep your thrusters deactivated when not in flight, as they are thirsty and will drain your fuel while just idle!
  • 5.8KT Lift Capacity
  • Crew: 3
  • Jump Drive
  • VTOL Thrust Vectoring

Included on the flight deck of the Carryall are two LCDs with tips on how to operate the dropship. Between them is the button to activate the LCD monitors. The info on them is reproduced here:

CARRYALL OPERATION TIPS:

/!\ Surface to Orbit Manual at max weight: Use Tilt Rotor Timer block to switch modes. Reset Dampener after switch to re-calibrate. Do not exceed max total weight if trying to ascend to Orbit. Do not ascend with less than 85% fuel. Pitch up while transitioning from hover and keep large engines facing downward at all times when at max weight. With balanced thrust usage you can reach space with at least 25% hydrogen left. Second tab has thrust override for rear fixed thrusters to adjust throttle in ascent

General Operation Tips: When in hover, pitch and roll gently to get better lateral movement when heavy. Disable large thrusters when in space and when without heavy load. Use remote block and camera to steer and align module docking connectors. Make sure loads are balanced and not heavier on one side. Deploy parachutes if landing heavy. Idling Hydrogen thrusters drain fuel & ice.

Included is an exclusive empty container with loading ramps for you to redesign or create all new modules for! Just remember to check the thruster flame when in horizontal flight or you'll melt off the sides of your module!

This is an all vanilla companion to the Cosmo-Liner CARL SAGAN colony ship.

This requires scripts to run (mainly for whips thrust vectoring, but also for automatic lcds, radar and improved horizon)

dude just damn lol. I fucking love it all. Good thing i use a Hydro mod because the consumption sucks in general at base

I know the dropship consumes a ton of fuel, so I've made an atmospheric version of the ship, it keeps two large thrusters to allow it to reach space still with a lighter load

Let me know if there is interest I may make a lighter majority atmospheric variant, keeping just a single (or maybe two) hydrogen boosters to orbit unloaded. This way its more economical in atmosphere, and can use the turbines on descent.

It just won’t be able to carry much cargo back up to space.
