Painbow 2

Description
The Painbow has reached stage2.

Galaxy - Express Painbow 2

2000 PCU

6 Gatlings

easy and quick to assamble

As Dunlop pointed out criticism which I appreachiate, let me add some information:

Downward facing thrusters have been designed to minimum because it's more or less used for maneuvering while docking. In reality our bodies can handle gravity quiet well but negative g-forces press blood into our heads causing us to fade out, beside that the setup leads to a feeling of actually flying a plane in space or wherever which is great for orientation and the actual flight experience.

The lack of cameras shouldn*t be much of an issue because anny space-engineer can ad as many electric eyes as he/she wants. Especially for docking I'd recommend ai blocks for automatic docking routine.

I'm working on my ships randomly so I guess I'll update the Painbow soon.

thx for reading

Took this interceptor out on a few test flights, both in Creative and Survival, and found a few things that might be worth modifying if there's ever a Painbow 3:

- By default, the large H2 thruster is offline and isn't a part of the "Hydros painbow2" group, meaning it must be manually turned on in order to function

- Power usage maxes out when moving in several directions simultaneously, especially in atmosphere

- Downwards acceleration is minimal, roughly 1.5m/s^2

- Has only a single gyroscope, resulting in surprisingly slow rotation for such a small ship

- Contains no O2/H2 generator

- Lacks a forward-facing camera, making precise aim at a distance difficult

- Lacks a downwards-facing camera, making precise docking difficult

- Magnetic plate has autolock enabled by default, causing difficulty during docking

Aside from that, it seems to be a somewhat durable and effective interceptor for its size. As always, interested to see more from the Galactic Express in the future!
