None of my cameras rotate... are you using a mod?
Bloody Axe 10 Mar, 2023 @ 1:09pm 
how do i replicate the targeting camera? Camera - Center Raycast (Reference)
no matter what i do i cannot get any of my cameras to rotate like that.

is there code i insert into one of the cameras or a script i've not linked correctly?

Nice!
Whiplash141  [author] 20 Nov, 2022 @ 4:44am 
No. It is probably the "Undo" mod that id bet you have installed

This thing is so powerful it crashes my game like no tomorrow. Maybe its the missles?

Remake this but use a nuclear bomb mod it would be funny.

(Can I post here a screenshot perhaps? This might clarify things more :P)

11. (About step 10, forgot to mention, make sure before hitting button to attach rotors, to have either ship thrusters, or Inertia Dampeners turned off!)
When the tanks were filled up (you can keep the missile hydro tanks on stockpile, they will auto switch stockpiling off when firing) I hit the 2nd button I made, for this group "detach".
That's it, ready to go!
(When using MultiGrid Projector, there is even a better way. Instead of detaching the rotors, power off the ship merge blocks, then take this grid's blueprint. You can now weld the missiles on the "reloading thing", instead of on the ship. So now, instead of detaching the rotors, merge the ship to the reloading contraption, then detach the rotors when tanks are full.)
BoompaBlubbah 23 May, 2022 @ 7:18pm 
Ok what I did;
1. I welded up the refuelling .. thing :P.
2. Welded an advanced rotor on station, cut off automatically spawned head.
3. Welded a 3x3 (small grid) head on the large conveyor port of the h2/o2 generator.
4. Flew the ship with the ... thing. Above this Advanced Rotor.
5. Attached Head to Rotor.
6. Ground away the yellow tubes.
7. Where these used to be (for the 4 missiles) yellow tubes, added 4 small advanced rotors, again
ground off the automatically spawned head.
8. On the missiles itself, welded up small advanced heads.
9. Grouped the newly made 4 small advanced rotors, and added a button on the .. thing.
10. Gave button action for this group; attach. Now the hydrogen tanks are filled up!
11. Yet to be performed/executed.

Thanks :)
BoompaBlubbah 20 May, 2022 @ 2:47pm 
Also, forgot to add this to the comment, a great ship :)
BoompaBlubbah 20 May, 2022 @ 11:44am 
Great, I was just about to add to the nagging about the reloading platform :P
Whiplash141  [author] 13 May, 2022 @ 4:19pm 
@Tipp.klever and @AVES7A:

As a temporary stopgap, I've added a reload projector on toolbar 2, slot 9 that allows you to rebuild missiles and fuel them up. Once built and fueled, simply cut off the fueling pipes at the yellow blocks, and grind down the remaining red pipes :)
Fischchen 20 Apr, 2022 @ 5:26am 
So whip, great ship, but when can we get the blueprint for the reload platform?
Don Juan Dimarco 13 Apr, 2022 @ 4:47pm 
Thank you for this amazing content :):steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:
Whiplash141  [author] 8 Apr, 2022 @ 6:59am 
Indeed, the cameras are for raycast lock-on
Ranch 7 Apr, 2022 @ 9:38pm 
This is totally awesome. What are all the cameras for? I assume the lock on targeting but I honestly have no idea how this all works. you are a total genius
Whiplash141  [author] 19 Feb, 2022 @ 4:47pm 
Different ship for atmospherics is nearing completion
狙撃兵の法律 (Laww) 19 Feb, 2022 @ 6:57am 
is this atmo capable or is there plans for an atmospheric version?
Whiplash141  [author] 18 Feb, 2022 @ 5:04pm 
Yeah it will be released eventually, I just have a large backlog :(
AVES7A 18 Feb, 2022 @ 6:26am 
oh so cool, can we also have blueprint of the platform?
Whiplash141  [author] 16 Feb, 2022 @ 2:40pm 
I have a reload platform that attaches small conveyors to the gas tanks and fills them that way, then the conveyors are ground down.
AVES7A 16 Feb, 2022 @ 2:05pm 
How do you fill hydrogen tanks of missiles? cant get it work in survival
DevKillerdog200 11 Feb, 2022 @ 9:56pm 
Sorry for prop a stupid question. When i connect the rockets to my base with a connector and launch the rocket with remote control option over my ship all of my rockets are launching (thats not how it suppose to work) , but when they are not connected only one is launching (how it suppose to be). do you maybe know what i am doing wrong?
Whiplash141  [author] 8 Feb, 2022 @ 2:14am 
It isn't released yet, but it is called the peregrine
DevKillerdog200 7 Feb, 2022 @ 7:58pm 
What is the name of the other ship? And thx for responding so fast
Whiplash141  [author] 7 Feb, 2022 @ 6:03pm 
Ground vehicle: I'm bad at building ground vehicles, so not likely any time soon haha

Atmospheric variant: I have a different atmospheric ship that uses at ospheroc thrusters and carries these missiles
DevKillerdog200 7 Feb, 2022 @ 2:43pm 
Will there be a ground vechicle that is carrying these rockets? And will there be a version Atmosphare version of it?
halfbaked 31 Jan, 2022 @ 12:22pm 
Ahh that could be it - I printed it horizontally; I'll try vertically with the cockpit oriented to be printed last.
Whiplash141  [author] 31 Jan, 2022 @ 11:49am 
"but I was disappointed in the lack of refuelling and rearming ability for the missiles"

I will release the carrier this is designed for semi-soon; it has a reloading platform that the Crossbow simply docks to and reloads from: https://gfycat.com/aggressivejealousjaguarundi-engineers-missile-guided-space

"None of the pre-configured hotbar buttons worked for me after printing the ship in survival."

Ahh the joy's of survival. Sometimes depending on if the cockpit is built before the things that are bound on the toolbar, things can break :/
halfbaked 31 Jan, 2022 @ 9:06am 
None of the pre-configured hotbar buttons worked for me after printing the ship in survival. I'll test the blueprint out in creative.
Spaceman 30 Jan, 2022 @ 8:15am 
This is great, but I was disappointed in the lack of refuelling and rearming ability for the missiles, so I made a few adjustments for survival. Since it's an ion-engined ship, I replaced the H tanks on the missiles with 4 small batteries (two on each side) and filled the blank space with some small blast door edges, and removed all the H engines and the 'plumbing' behind them, which left room for ion engines. Updated all the missile groups with the new engines and batteries, and they don't accelerate as fast, but they absolutely do work. I pulled some armor off and found a spot inside the ship to stash a projector, and now, with Build and Repair, when I RTB, the nanobots just rearm any spent missiles if I have the materials. Survival ready, baby. Cheers for the sweet spaceframe.

Hot Damn! now this is a small compact fighter bomber
aleks2eev 29 Jan, 2022 @ 1:25pm 
like that schematics. In my projects (currently not in the workshop) I use pipelines from the bomber itself, although, I have to cut them manually after welding. Pipeline is located inside the wing just after the merge blocks, which are similar to ones in your Crossbow, so it's dangerus to just shot them off. Not the best way, but I pretend that my missiles are after some pre-flight maintenance.
Whiplash141  [author] 29 Jan, 2022 @ 12:53pm 
@aleks2eev: The reloading platform that I will release soon has destructible conveyor tubes that serve as umbilicals: https://gfycat.com/aggressivejealousjaguarundi-engineers-missile-guided-space
Wickedcube 29 Jan, 2022 @ 9:30am 
Superb
aleks2eev 29 Jan, 2022 @ 9:16am 
Beautiful. How do you put hydrogen fuel in your missiles?
Sarekh 29 Jan, 2022 @ 4:52am 
well, hello there! Those wings are indeed beautiful!
Whiplash141  [author] 28 Jan, 2022 @ 10:03am 
Not a variant of *this* frame, but a different ship entirely. Atmospheric thrusters require a different way of building haha.
Artemin 28 Jan, 2022 @ 6:53am 
Subscribed! Will there be an atmospheric version of it too?
Whitefox 27 Jan, 2022 @ 12:51am 
Whiplash, not satisfied with his massive script-writing testicles, must style on all of us medieval engineers (intended) with his blueprints too.
Dwarf-Lord Pangolin 26 Jan, 2022 @ 7:04pm 
Hot damn , that is a sexy bomber! I particularly love the wings. This looks like a worthy successor to the Shortbow.
