Hey can you make a blueprint for the O.G.M (optical guided missile) because it's difficult to...well reload them.Thx

Reminds me of the Starflier from Freelancer. Tried getting that shape once, utterly failed. Great job on the design :)

still good ship though. Small. Preformance friendly. Unique design.

@purple chapter. Well seeing as this is a made up spaceship I created I guess it is just random nonsense!

What exactly is "SparrowHawk Class" - would you care to expand on that ? Or is it just random nonsense?
Ship is not bad.

ah, thanks man! to be honest, i'm sort of trying to recreate a working version of the Isanth v starfighter from Starmade (a similar game to Space Engineers,) because it looks cool. it's a pirate vessel, usually, but it's still fun.

@Stormchaser. I could make a space version at some point. The contest that I entered this for is based on Mars so I didn't need to worry about escaping the atmosphere. In terms of powering things particularly for small ships can be challenging if you are trying to build really small. The sparrowhawk has two small reactors and two batteries in the main fuselage which work really nicely. The batteries are really good at supplying large amounts of power in short bursts which is what you need in a ship with so many engines. The equivalent power from just reactors would require many many more reactors! Also with posting things save it as a blueprint in game. Look at ship and press control+b. Then go to your blueprint menu (Crtl+F10), select the ship and then click details and finally click publish. Look forward to seeing your work in the future!

@BC. I did not know about the insect! I've gone for a bird theme with the ships I enter into contests. The previous ones I made where colonization themed so they had friendly bird names like kingfisher. Now that the contests are military themed I've gone for birds of prey!

Is this named after the insect that attacks tarantulas?

Looks nice either way.

also, i'm still trying to figure out how powering things works in general, so...

@MACH Velocity I understand. I was hoping that it'd be a good ship in space, however, when i first saw it. Perhaps a space-worthy version is in order? I'd consider attempting it myself, but i wouldn't want to infringe upon your idea by "reposting" it in the workshop under my own name. Not to mention, i still haven't figured out how to save and post stuff here from SE yet, so... there's that small issue as well.

Thanks for the feedback, though!

I think its Airship/Carrier time with drop hangers for your gunships time =) i like it that much

It really is, I have no Idea how you even code something like that! Us mortals should be forever grateful for the modders generous gifts!

I built a bomber plane (using Plane parts mod) it uses 4 missiles and a gatling turret to guide the missile the whiplash's script is awesome

@marioparkson. The Vulture is an amazing build and what inspired me to have a go at trying to build my own missiles from scratch using whiplash's script :) I guess there isn't much variety when you are trying to build a missile as small as possible...

Vulture Attack Helicopter missiles lol

I just did a quick test myself and trust me they do work, left two massive holes in the side of the easy start Earth base, they are a bit unpredictable and sometimes they do just bounce off and not explode. Just the quirks of spaceengineers! Thanks for your comment though

yes the war heads are armed

@Maplejacks. Hi there. I did find when testing it myself that warheads can be a bit unpredictable but when they work properly the results have been satisfying. You might want to double check the warheads are armed.

its a good ship and a good idea but the missiles do almost no damage except for a few tiny dents that you dont even notice unless you are loking for them

@stormchaser91 Hey Stormchaser. As CoITeH already pointed out it does only work in atmosphere. To control the missiles you just point the main ship where you want the missiles to go. Use the camera to aim more precisely

@stormchaser91 its a planetary based craft, just incase you didnt notice...

freaking awesome

ok, it looks amazing, but... there's no thrusters on the main ship (meaning it can't move, beyond turning all around,) and i can't figure out how to control the individual missiles. a little help, please?

Howesome design, i really like the shape!

looks epic cant wait to play with my friends with it

That ship is amazing.

sweet

Love it. Looks very intimidating.

nice

Epic!

It's beautiful *.*
