AE Dropship Revelation (new)

Description
All Environment Dropship
------------------------------------------------

Watch me build it from LEGO bricks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC4H-BAXs5g

Description
-------------
This is the standard dropship that is carried by the Revelation II carrier.

Like the Revelation, the dropship also got a complete overhaul. This resulted in a ship,
that is vastly improved compared to its predecessor. It still brings your troops to any
battlefield you can think of, but it brings more dudes. Therefor the new Revelation only carries
4 of these instead of 6 like the old one.

Where the old dropships could only carry 4 soldiers into battle, this new and improved
version brings up to 16 personnel in one go. In addition to that it is much better protected
than its predecessor, with an armament of 3 gatling turrets. The back turret can be controlled
from the pilots seat, while the side guns are controlled by the gunners on either side
of the cockpit.

Of course it kept the medium cargo container to supply the ground forces with ammunition.

To keep itself aloft, it uses some tilting engines at the back. These can be activated from
the first toolbar in the main cockpit. To save power the ship now also has a cruise mode,
that turns off all forward facing thrusters. This can be used in space or in an atmosphere.

The ship runs on battery power and should only be recharged on the Carrier. It has a small reactor as a backup power unit, but that is mostly so you can still operate all the buttons on the toolbar in case you run out of energy, or switch to reload the batteries. The auxiliary reactor should be kept offline during normal operation.

To dock and undock the ship correctly you just need to use the buttons on the
second toolbar in order. More info on that can be found in the toolbars section
below.

But other than that, it's a good ship.

The docking camera and the front view camera are named incorrectly and are in the wrong spot on the toolbar as a result.

i have send a friend request so that i can add you as a contributor since its basically your design :)

@new logi gamer:

Feel free to upload your version to the workshop.
Put a link to the original in the description and it's fine with me.

I am curious how it looks though, because I have tried a few different designs for vehicle dropships aswell and none of them felt right.

hey, i have spent a little while redesigning this ship into a vehicle transport that carries the mbt and ifv, can i send you the ship file for you to upload or can i upload it myself?

Hm, you are right. That would be something I have to adress in the next iteration.

That's a really nice dropship :selike: but the passengers are a bit too exposed

Thanks, I am also really happy how that shape turned out in the end. :D
