Halo Pelican Dropship

Description
This is a small project that I decided to undertake, as with the upcoming possiblity of planets and atmosphere, we will need a trusty drop ship to spirit us to the surface and back. So, why not do it with style in your very own Pelican dropship!? Modelled after various reiterations of the famous UNSC ship, take the fight to the surface!

Features:
Cargo function: four landing gears retract from the open rear to secure cargo, along with vehicles (warthog and scorpion coming soon. All controls built into the cabin.

Fully armed: Four rocket launchers on each wing, two primary gatlings with auto-fire (7 in tool bar) and a small turret that utilises another two gatlings and a reloadable rocket pod.

Six passenger seats.

Fully functional door. Few gaps, two rotors to hold it in place, and minimum unstability during flight (I flung it about a bit)

Some extra timer blocks, sound blocks, and sensors to add extra features yourself, such as impact warning. If you wish me to include this as default, please comment below.

Maximum thrust and brake speeds, and mass blocks for added realism in gravity (for training purposes only).

Batteries, three large reactors, and a manual small reactor if you cannot get the uranium to the large ones.

Fully survival ready, with 4 medium cargo containers, and 4 small crew containers.

Extra safety: LCD seatbelt safety warning built in.

Full RC support: With loads of cameras, this is a breeze to control when you are sat home in your comfy station. Two extra backup antennas just in case.

Many other features, and refinements coming in the future, such as better automation using the sensor, programming, and timer blocks.


Only mods required: Sage industrial thrusters and armour thrusters (edited). Simple fix to replace them with vanilla engines.

Thanks for looking, and i really appreciate any and all support!

I made a response before this, thinking that this was my newer version of the pelican, which is vanilla. I realised that this was the older version, which does use Sage's industrial thruster mod and the sloped armour thruster mods, both of which can be replaced with vanilla blocks. As I said in my other comment, there is a (in my opinion) better version of the pelican that I have made.
Hope this helps :)

Also I made a more up to date version of this, which is also vanilla. Please have a look at that. It works in atmosphere too. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=732157268

Why do I get a message saying, ''This ship contains special blocks not aviable in this world?

I'm looking forward to it.

Hoping to make some planetary Halo vehicles soon! Including a new pelican model.

Planning on doing an update on this, and a second version, with hydrpgen thrusters if possible. I hope to make this fully planet compatible, and more stable!

Thanks! I'll definately have to update it. Improve all the naming and grouping stuff. Never liked doing that :D
