Description
VC Tremble Class Orbital Bombardment Vessel

The Tremble brings carpet bombing to the space age. Developed by Void Corp’s security division solely for the purpose of projecting dominance from orbit, this vessel represents a nightmare like threat for any unfortunate enough to be ground bound and under attack from this ship.

Specifications:
• Mass: 2,153,854 kg
• Power: 6 Small Reactors and 1 Large Reactor (130 MW)
• Thrust: 7.6 MN forward, 600 KN port/starboard, 3.4 MN retro, 3.7 MN Keel, and 1.2 MN Dorsal
• Maneuvering: 12 gyroscopes (~180,000 kg/gyro)
• Acceleration: 0 – 20 m/s in 5.8 seconds
• Weapons systems: 4 Gatling turrets, 2 missile turrets, and 6 bomb bays
-Can carry enough components to build about 1,100 bombs fully loaded. With a drop rate of about 3 bombs per second that means more than 6 minutes of continuous bombardment before resupply is necessary.
• Cargo Capacity: 391,000 L
• Life Support: 1 Oxygen generator and 2 oxygen tanks

Any sudden maneuvering could cause one or more bombs to detonate in the ship which would cause catastrophic damage. Therefore, maneuvering is limited as an automatic safety feature. Once the deployment sequence timer has been started, the ship will have its gyro’s and forward thrust automatically disabled. These will also be automatically restored once the stop timer has been started. And, don’t forget to open the blast doors before initiating the bombardment sequence!

*As with the drop pods, this ship need gravity to work as intended *

*Made without mods and fully compatible with survival

Happy engineering!

Gopescope,
I love this idea and I want to put a similar system on my frigate. However, I am having a very hard time doing it and I have no real idea how to impliment it. Would you be willing to help me? I have the frigate uploaded to steam under my workshop. I'd be willing to sign in to help or let you design a system for it. Of course I'd give you credit. Would you be willing to help?

hey love the ship in all but theres one problem from time to time when i use it the bombs explode in the bay because they wont fall out do the bombs use artificial grav if they dont it may help them fall out of the bay and not explode inside the ship ( i tried getting lower to the ground for more of the planetary grav one of two thing would happen the bombs would explode inside the bay or my target would blow the bombs up in the bay and shoot me down)

Hey, awesome ship and great videos. I love the story that is unfolding.

I did build a low orbit version of it / I modified it so it could be used in low orbit. All in my private world of cause but it was really easy. I think it could even hover perfectly.

this needs an update maybe? because you want atmos thrust for low orbit bombardment just in case right?

maybe make a version where instead of bombs they are drop pods like odst

It would be awesome if you adapted the ship with hydrogen thrusters.

@Gopescope Wasn't I the one that identified the ownership problem with your torpedo ship? :D

BTW, did you ever fix the no-mod designs once I identified the problem? (Gonna be popping over in a second to check.)
