KRH Dropship MK-1

Vanilla Build

This is a small, long range exploration and support frigate type vessel capable of operating in space and in a planets atmosphere. It is equipped with everything a small crew needs to survive. The ship can act as a command and control vessel for small drones allowing 2 other crew members to utilize the ships antenna to control a pair of drones via 2 additional control seats while the pilot flys the ship. Equipped with a pair of laser antennas, the ship can act as a relay for remot control operations or communications.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: I set the ship up with half of its systems turned off, atmospheric thrusters and space thrusters (small thrusters) turned on for planetfall and landing. The reactors also start turned off as they are not initially needed for planetfall and landing.

There are 3 doors which start turned off. These are the exterior doors to the ship, the Ramp Door, Port Door and Starboard Door.

User's Manual

Exterior Doors - Opening the Ramp Door or the Port Door while in space will result in venting atmosphere from the Processing Room. There are control panels inside the Processing Room to turn on/off those doors. There is also a control panel outside the Starboard Door to control that door and the airlock. The reason for turning off the exterior doors while in space is to prevent them from being accidentially opened and depressurizing the Processing Room.

Airlock - The ship only has 1 airlock for entering/leaving the ship in space, that airlock is on the starboard side of the ship via the Starboard Door. There are control panels to control the airlock doors, and vents inside the Airlock, inside the Processing Room next to the Airlock Door, and outside the ship next to the Starboard Door.

Ramp - The boarding ramp is located in the underbelly of the ship along the center line. The control panel for the ramp can be located inside the Processing Room against the window looking into the boarding ramp chamber.

Lift Engines - The lift engines are set with a 180 degree swing angle, ranging from full forward facing, through facing doward to facing full aftward. Port and Starboard sets must be operated inversly. If the Port engines are set with a positive rotation then the Starboard engines must be set with a negative rotation in order for the engines to move together and maintain balance. I set the hotbar with 5 ♥♥♥ for engine movement. 2 for tiling backward, a key for stopping all engines, and 2 for tilting forward. If the rotors are turned off the engines will free-spin based on ship motion and gravity.

Hopefully, I have the engines weighted so that in a strong enough gravity, they will want to remain in a downward facing orientation when free spinning. I have not fully tested this yet, so use with caution.
