Terran Goliath Alpha: Planetary Walker(Read Description)

Description
No mods used in this blueprint.

PLEASE NOTE: Work in progress. Will have version changes. To get it working, just delete the landing gear out from under the goliath then hop in.

HOW TO PILOT: Keys 1 & 2 control weapons. Key 3 causes the walker to take a step. Repeatedly use 3, varying timing for different terrain speeds etc. Takes some getting used. The other keys let you increase or decrease step speed. Too low or too high is generally bad, unless you need to take a jump or something.


Terran Goliath walker, from Starcraft. This is the "function" over form version.

The Goliath is equipped with
1x Missile Turret for Anti-Air
2x Gatling Guns for anti infantry(if you can aim these things while moving this, i'm impressed)
Can max speed around 5-6 m/s with optimal movement (lol)

This walker utilizes manual controls. The group rotor velocity setting determines your run speed. Each press of the reverse velocity key will cause the walker to step. This gives you more control on hilly terrain compared to automatic walker solutions. I recommend keeping the speed around 24-42. Just time your steps and you'll get the hang of it.

This is a work in progress. If you have some idea for something that could solve one of the below issues, let me know!

LIST OF THINGS THAT NEED WORK
-Some Kind of Stabilization method. The walker wobbles a lot when moving
-Some method to make moving uphill work.

New version coming soon. I made a breakthrough on the walking animation that makes it a lot more stable and gives it the ability to sit down and stand up, at the cost of reducing the total speed. I'm just hammering out parts of it, it'll be available soon.
