MMC-2A Quaesitor

A small grid expeditionary craft designed for survival players

The MMC-2A (Medium Multi-environment Craft) Quaesitor is a versatile expeditionary transport capable of extended duration missions. It features H2 and atmospheric propulsion, pressurized cabin, crew life-support and redundant power systems. A programmable block provides Whip's artificial horizon script for improved navigation.

The primary role of the Quaesitor is prospecting asteroids and planetary bodies for suitable locations for future bases. Even with its limited cargo capacity, the MMC-2A can carry enough components to set-up small outposts or forward operating bases, preparing the ground for dedicated cargo vessels.

This craft incorporates several advanced features:

• Automatic systems and power management when operating with a mothership/base
  
• Hybernation when using the ship's cryopod.
  
• Semi-automatic orbital insertion.
  
• Radar warning receiver (RWR). Alerts of enemy grids nearby and when locked-on.

• 4 large and 32 small H2 thrusters
  
• 12 large and 2 small flat atmospheric thrusters
  
• 4 Large batteries

• 2 Gatling guns.
  
• 1 Gatling turret

• Large connector (Toolbar shortcut #8). Automatic Charge/Discharge of batteries when docked
  
• RWR system with visual and aural alerts
  
• Semi-automatic orbital insertion
  
• Cryopod. Automatic hybernation when in-use (Caution! Entering will disable the controls!)
  
• Automatic airlock
  
• Repair projector
  
• O2/H2 generator
  
• H2 engine
  
• H2 and O2 tanks
  
• 2 Medium cargo containers
  
• Survival kit
  
• 8 Gyroscopes
  
• And many more...

For orbital insertion:

1. Stabilize the craft level with the horizon
   
2. Go to toolbar 3
   
3. Engange the 'Ascent control' event controller (press 9).
   
4. Override thrust of the 'Ascent engines' group (press 7 until max. override). Ensure group is enabled.
   
5. Wait until planetary gravity falls below 0.06g, then disable the 'Ascent control' and thrust override (press 6 until no override). You may want to also disable intertial dampeners.
   
6. Check that 'Ascent engines' group is enabled. Adjust craft velocity as needed once outside the gravity well.
