Crush - Early-game Interplanetary Survival Ship (no mods)

Crush is an 'early-game' interplanetary survival ship. He comes with all the basic necessities to survive in both planets and space; however, due to the lack of ions, Crush is primarily meant for hopping from planet to planet.

Quality-of-Life Features:
1) p3st|cIdE's "Hover Altitude Aligner" Script
- Used for maintaining orientation to the horizon
- During Lift-Off, automatically turns the ship vertical to utilize Large Hydro Thrusters

2) Dan123's "Liftoff manager (formely Ascent Override Control)" Script
- Used in conjunction with "Hover Altitude Aligner". Manages thrusters for optimal fuel usage while taking off to space

3) MMaster's "Configurable Automatic LCDs" Script
- Used for inventory, fuel, etc checks without accessing control panel


Guide A) How to reach Space

1) Hop into Flight Seat and TURN THE HYDROGEN THRUSTERS OFF!!!! Save the fuel for when it is needed!!
2) Press <Tab#2 Hotkey#1> to initiate the "Hover Altitude Aligner" script for horizontal orientation
3) Hold <spacebar> to ascend using ONLY the Large Atmospheric Thrusters
4) Keep an eye on speed and wait for speed to decrease (Atmo Thrusters losing power)
5) Press <Tab#2 Hotkey#2> to start Hydrogen burn - ship will automatically turn vertical and start the "Liftoff manager" script
6) Let the ship do the rest. Turn dampeners OFF if you want to coast through space.
7) Press <Tab#2 Hotkey#3> to stop all scripts. This can also be used to abort a Take-Off and relinquish control back to the pilot


Guide B) Planetary Re-entry

1) Fly towards planet gravity field and turn Hydrogen Thrusters OFF
2) Press <Tab#2 Hotkey#1> to activate Hover Altitude Aligner
3) Ensure dampeners and Atmospheric Thrusters are ON
4) Eventually the ship will start hovering in-place as the Atmospheric Thrusters gain power
5) Press <Tab#2 Hotkey#3> to stop all scripts and relinquish control back to the pilot
