MULTV09 Giant Marabou Troop Dropship

Description
Please note: of the 4 large and 4 small generators, only 1 of each come on by default. 2 large and a small are turned on by the "WeaponsShields" Device Group Shortcut (along with the shield itself) - meaning that, when turning the shields on using your normal keybind, it won't have enough power to charge and the generators (and a lot more) might go bang. If you don't like this, please feel free to move the 3 generators found in the "[1]Power-Wpns&Shlds" device group into the "[1]Power-Main" device group. The same goes for the remaining generators in the "[1]Power-Propulsion" and "[1]Power-MaxLift" groups that only come on with the "MainPropulsion" and "MaxLift" switches respectively.

Mod/Scenario - None (Vanilla)

Updated - The pilot's seat has been moved forward by one block and the nose has changed slightly from what is shown in the screenshots (please see the "Change Notes" for more details).


The ninth in my series of Military Utility/Logistics/Transport Vehicles is the Giant Marabou class Troop Dropship.
The Marabou has seating in the Troop Compartment for a full 8-person section plus 2 officers/advisors/specialists etc, plus seating for a crew of 3 in the cockpit - the pilot and two gunners.
Once it has dropped off the troops it is carrying, and if it's not returning to where-ever to pick up more, the Marabou can be used like a Ground Attack Craft to provide CAS (Close Air Support) to the troops it has just deployed.






Door Operation:
Outer Doors - (airtight ramp) Manual & custom signal.
Inner Doors - Automatic (motion sensor controlled).

Upgrade/Adaptability Space
None.

Alternate Paints
As shown in the above screenshots, the colour palette includes 4 primary colours to choose from: Khaki Tan (vehicle comes in this colour); Camouflage Green; Light Blue-Grey; Dark Blue-Grey. To swap the colour, simply click on the "Replace Mode" check box on the Colour And Texture Tool's UI, then (ensuring that no texture is selected) click on the coloured square that you want to change to, then "fire" the Colour & Texture Tool at any part of the vehicle that is painted the colour you want to replace.


The Marabou design is a combination of the UD-4 Cheyenne from Aliens and the Anvil Terrapin from Star Citizen (although it ended up coincidentally also resembling the Quad Tiltrotor from Edge of Tomorrow).

- NOTE - any Mini Fridges on board come turned off by default to save power until food is inside needing to be kept cold, and can only be turned off manually (or by turning off all power to the vehicle) from the fridge's own UI to limit instances of food being accidentally spoiled.

So it is the gravity generators that is setting off the orange flag......OK......Thank you very much sir. That has been driving me bonkers for a while now and as many times i have asked people and never got a proper response..............YOU SIR ARE A AWESOME PIP.....THANK YOU so much

Thank you for the kind words, Exotik. ;)
Orange BPs mean there's a device in the BP that you haven't unlocked yet. In Creative, all devices are unlocked automatically EXCEPT the new Gravity Generators, and I've noticed that my vehicles that have Grav Gens are orange even in Creative. So I guess that's all it is.

Absolutly love the sv. Definitly one of my new favorites to use during my play throughs. I have one question though that no one has answered yet, why does my bp's showup as orange in my bp list??? Currently all of my cv's are orange and only 2 of my sv's show up as orange. The sv's that are showing up as orange, both belong to you. In your game do your sv's show up as orange in your bp list????
