T-4a Lambda Shuttle

As seen in Star Wars and built by Sienar Fleet Systems, the T-4a shuttle is used extensively by the Galactic Empire for ferrying officers and troops where they're needed. Featuring folding wings and full weapon and shield suites, this shuttle can dish both the damage out and receive it equally well. This ship is survival ready, thruster damage friendly, and capable of operating in 1G environments.

World version now available ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=557665698 )

Update 2.1: Long overdue modernization, weapons changed to new Star Wars weapons pack. Sorry for the long delay, let me know if anything is misbehaving.

Important Notes
-This ship is very mod heavy, if you are looking for a less mod heavy one, check out the original version made by Purrfect-Blinky! (See bottom of page for more details)

Features:
-Folding wings! The wing folding mechanism (unchanged from the original) is completely working and allows you to get that truly cinematic experience while coming in for landing. Also features locks to allow the shuttle to fly normally.

-Shields! Using the Beta Energy Shields mod, this Lambda shuttle is fully equipped with shields (and a lot of them!) to keep it safe during those long voyages through enemy territory. (Escorts still recommended!)

-Multi-Function-Displays! Utilizing the amazing script system, this shuttle is equipped with LCD panels that put all the necessary information at the crews fingertips. The pilot has access to speed, damage, power, date, time, and GPS position. The co-pilot has access to complete power output, date, time, and GPS position. A Shared display shows shield power. Two wall mounted displays in the cockpit show damage, date, time, and GPS position. A single wall mounted display in the back of the cabin gives access to power output.

-Firepower! Featuring two forward firing blaster cannons and laser cannons, the T-4a can quickly scrap any fighters who try to take it head on, close air support and larger ship assaults are also capable missions. A rear mounted blaster cannon will make sure to keep your six clear of any fighters who get behind you.

-Survivability! Incase your shields go down, the T-4a is equipped with a thick layer of hull plating around all important systems to keep you flying. A multi redundant oxygen system will keep any personnel inside breathing, and incase of a hull breach the cockpit can be sealed and put onto its own oxygen tanks.

!Important Operating Notes!

-Atmospheric Thrusters: The T-4a shuttle is equipped with extra thrusters on the bottom that should be activated only when inside of a planets gravity field. These thrusters are there to help it hover during wing folding actions and to escape the influence of a planet when fully loaded with fuel and personnel.

-Wing Folding: This version of the lambda features locks to allow the ship to fly normally with wings up and down. The first set of locks (6 in the pilots toolbar) are for locking the wings when they are down (flight position) the second set of locks (7 in the pilots toolbar) are for locking the wings when they are up (landing position). The folding mechanism (5 in the pilots toolbar) should only be activated when both locks are set to OFF/UNLOCKED, failure to do so may result in awkward flight characteristics and possibly becoming acquainted with the ground at high speeds.

-Landing Gears: Very important! The MexPex heavy landing gears used on this shuttle may break off at the same high speeds a normal piston would. High G maneuvers are highly discouraged at speeds above 50M/s. The landing gears also feature locking systems on the footpads, these are only, repeat only, to be locked when landed on the ground, small ship built pads, or large ship built pads. Any locking attempt to a station will result in the pads breaking off from the rest of the gear, attempting to lift any loads or move the ship with locks engaged will have the same effect.

Mods Used:
-Small Ship Mega Mod Pack
-Azimuth Power Mod Pack

-Maglock Surface Docking Clamps V2
-Sanchincorp Hoverbike pack

(That should be all the mods, send me a message if you have trouble spawning the ship in and i'll recheck for the millionth time.)

Production/Maintenance notes:
Reactor fuel receptacles are behind the entrance to the cockpit, one on each wall. The Hyperdrives can be accessed by grinding away the armor blocks on the base of the dorsal wing, below the thrusters pointing upwards. Gyroscopes are placed below the dorsal wing, at the front of the attachment bump. Any damage sustained to the wing folding mechanism is difficult, if not impossible to repair, replacement of the vessel is recommended if this happens. Depressurizing the ship is a very good idea before opening the ramp as the oxygen supply onboard is limited.

!Disclaimer!
This shuttle was created on the one originally made by Purrfect-Blinky, credit for the base design goes to him. Feel free to use this ship however you want, just please give credit to Purrfect-Blinky and myself. No creation infringement was meant during the production of this vessel.
