Ship lacks thrust to go into space from planet
Cmdr. DoomForge™ 28 Jun, 2022 @ 1:22pm 
I will likely change the exterior some over time to make it more of an original, but things irl and other stuff have slowed it down a little lately. The end goal is new thrusters, power systems, and also a door doubling as a boarding ramp for entry.
Cmdr. DoomForge™ 28 Jun, 2022 @ 1:21pm 
Found one I had of the passenger space, seats though are temporary since I wanted to attempt some of my own in the future. That door goes into what will later be the comms and medical terminals, serving also as a divider space leading to the pilot area.

It will be a good while yet for that since I've hit a bit of a slowdown for attempting to make the model parts I wanted on the final design, but I do at least have a screenshot of it in a factory bay. Sorry to say that it has a lot of the similar exterior parts at this present time, but internally is completely different with a full interior space leading from the passenger area to the cockpit.

Here's a front view of it though:

Hey! Glad it helped! Please let me know when you post it, looking forward to it.
Cmdr. DoomForge™ 28 Jun, 2022 @ 12:08pm 
Seeing this back then helped make it possible, so thanks again for sharing this great build concept here.
Cmdr. DoomForge™ 28 Jun, 2022 @ 12:01pm 
Finally made one of my own squad assault gunships a while back partially based on this style with an interior cockpit and room for 6 passengers, as well as an area that would later be updated to have a comms station. Thickened the armor for the hull and added 3 more auto cannon turrets as well. Its not posted though, just locally saved. There's more I wanted to do but don't have the right model parts yet. For now its still a prototype.

Also, creating a large version of this sounds fun. I might do that.
Sevyrs  [author] 12 May, 2022 @ 6:32am 
The rocket launchers aren't a piped weapon. They are manual load like the original rocket launchers. That is why they have no conveyor setup. Also the PDS is a 'little cousin' to the UD-4L Cheyenne Dropship model used in the Alien franchise. You can find examples of it in the movie Aliens and from various affiliated comic book works. I'm currently working on a Cheyenne that can carry my APC but that is a difficult project to achieve considering the blocks available in SE.

Also, it sounds interesting, this Skunkwork server you mentioned. Is it an SE server or a Discord server?
Biltema 12 May, 2022 @ 5:49am 
Sevyrs- The rocket launchers are not connected but thats ok, I use modded weapons. I would love if you could do a large ship with same design.
This ship is super cool. I even changed all the thrusters into proficent or elite for skunkwork server. We do have a creative server there in case you wanna try out things.

Where did you get the design from btw? It's super cool! :) Thank you for the design and all the hard work but also for the feedback! :)
Sevyrs  [author] 11 May, 2022 @ 6:02pm 
Hey @Fiskbajs , I took a look and sure enough, some piping had not been properly made when I made some revisions previously. Thanks for pointing that out. I went ahead and fixed that and also made some more minor changes such as optimized the thrust capabilities and a few other things. Hope the changes are to your liking!
Sevyrs  [author] 11 May, 2022 @ 4:53pm 
Which ones?
Biltema 11 May, 2022 @ 4:50pm 
its not connected man.. the conveyurs.. would be epic if u could make one for skunk work server. We have a creative as well
Sevyrs  [author] 4 May, 2022 @ 5:48pm 
Glad you like it. Thanks for the heads up on the issue. Had me puzzled for a bit until I realized I still had them on. Now she 'should' fly just fine.
Marshan 4 May, 2022 @ 2:00pm 
Great and thank you, it's nice to see people here appreciate their work and maintain quality. I really like the super boat
Sevyrs  [author] 3 May, 2022 @ 11:47pm 
Hey @Marshan , found out what the issue was! There is a group of artificial mass blocks on the craft meant to allow it to land in artificial gravity or perhaps on a moon with low gravity so that it will sit properly. They were set on as default. I updated the BP so that they are no longer active and resolved a few other minor things I noticed. Function test shows no obvious issues now. Hope that helps.
Sevyrs  [author] 1 May, 2022 @ 6:46am 
Ah I see. Thanks for pointing those out. I'll update the design today to resolve those issues.
Marshan 1 May, 2022 @ 2:28am 
It works well in the atmosphere, but it can't fly into space, which I assumed it can do. There was a couple of things that the connection between the H2O generator and the tank did not work and there was no oxygen supply to the cocpit, but I easily corrected these two things. And if it is possible to give which modes I used during the construction Dik Otherwise, I like the beautiful ship very much
Sevyrs  [author] 30 Apr, 2022 @ 12:47pm 
@Marshan sorry, are you saying it doesn't function in Atmosphere? If so, I didn't have any issues with it at the time of building it. Can you message me with your complaints so that I may address them? I'll be online in about 1 hour from now.

@Noctis Hey thanks for the feedback. I'll check that out and see if I can adjust the design so that it can perform satisfactorily.
Noctis 25 Apr, 2022 @ 10:58am 
Love the design. The only problem I have with this dropship is that it does not perform at all on the moon since the ions don't have enough to keep it from smacking the ground.
Sevyrs  [author] 13 Apr, 2022 @ 4:55pm 
Thanks.
Reavvr 13 Apr, 2022 @ 4:10pm 
Not bad
Sevyrs  [author] 11 Apr, 2022 @ 4:56am 
Glad it helped and that you liked it!
Cmdr. DoomForge™ 11 Apr, 2022 @ 4:34am 
I definitely like the overall design shown here, you did a great job with the visual framework of it. Also wanted to say thanks as well for sharing the build since it helped me to better visualize what I originally wanted to do for my own combat support ship. I had some rough ideas but it was hard coming up with a concrete shape I liked.

Hahahahaha

Sevyrs  [author] 9 Apr, 2022 @ 6:49am 
Yes! I wanted something inspired. I almost never do recreations. I had a lot of fun with this one.
Kelevra 9 Apr, 2022 @ 6:23am 
like it! u can clearly see the inspiration from the UD-4L but it is also a significantg amount of own interpretation!
Sevyrs  [author] 8 Apr, 2022 @ 1:46pm 
As described in paragraph 2 in the description, this is indeed inspired by the UD-4L. I'm a huge Alien fan. I have plans for a UD-4L that can actually carry my APC but getting the scaling right has proven challenging.
Alvintheleafeon 8 Apr, 2022 @ 12:16pm 
this looks nice did you base it off of the UD-4L cheyenne?
Sevyrs  [author] 8 Apr, 2022 @ 6:48am

Looks very similar... Good job!
