This sounds awesome! id love to see it! The answer is yes ofcourse you can use it, Thank you for asking and providing credit for the build <3

Currently using this in build, not 100% complete yet. when done could i post it with your blessing and have you written down for the part of the build?

you can just move the logic board to wherever you want, since it all works off groups, nothing should stop working,

With the landing gears blueprints, its a little more involved, you need to add the hinges and rotors to "safety 1" and "safety 2" but for the ramp i dont think i implemented any safety features, you should just need to move the panel wherever and link the corresponding timers to the buttons.

one more question: where can I put the lights/control systems besides the stern of the model? If I break them off to move them am I screwed? Or are they a debugging thing and not necessary for function?

Good idea ;)

@kennet0508
that clarifies it, thank you.
Looking at the model I didn't see a corresponding merge block for the "closed" state (visible in the open anyways) so that only furthered my confusion

I'll try out your suggestions, and see if I can implement it myself (maybe make some ridiculous super carrier)

@uddernonsense:
If you have the gate as a "station" merging doesnt always occur, it seems it needs some "movement" or help, this seems to be a limitation in the game engine as there is nothing preventing the gate from merging, a block update is all it needs to "fix it" so try placing a block and delete it, and that should trigger the game to merge it.

you can also try building the ramp on a ship or placing some thrusters, batteries, gyroscopes and a seat, then convert it to a ship and it should work just fine as long as your not standing 100% still.

The ramps are not airtight if its not merged to the bay (aka, if its moving its not airtight.)

I'm trying to learn about airtightness for this exact purpose: to make ramp doors without needing an airlock into the cargo bay from the rest of the ship.

In the gates retracted state (ramps folded, gates up), the merge blocks toward the stern/rear of the bay do not merge with anything, hence the gate is bouncing on its pistons. Is this airtight still? Or is this an oversight?

I tried reading the P.S. but I'm new and have trouble understanding

make a accumulator class assault ship using this door and the new landing gear mechanism.

now you just need to add it to a ship

@setrikid, yeah, you paste it in your world, and paste it onto your ship, should be pretty straightforward, tho there are some subgrids near the edges that may be causing som isuess, if thats the case, buil a few blocks in the front or back to make it longer, that should allow you to paste it

this is gonna be fun to use

is there a way to attach it to ships? im fairly new to the game so sorry if this sounds stupid

If you want a Sandbox co-op Partner. I wouldn't mind be a part of your friendlist.

I would love to see an improved version, please tell me when you have it ready! as im always looking to improve my own skillset! :D

Neat design. I think I can improve it. I hope you don't mind if I take insperation.

@TwistedGraphene Cant wait to see it in action! do ask me if there is anything your wondering about

This is a fantastic concept. I'm absolutely going to reverse-engineer this and implement something similar on the small grid transport ship I've been working on. You are truly a Space Engineer.

funny idear

@zen_2255 this is possible to make in survival, hardest part would be the pistons

yes, just cut and paste it, link whatever buttons you have to the groups mentioned above

You can move the timer setup to anywhere you want on the grid and as long as you dont delete any pistons, hinges, rotors or timers, everything should work just fine

is there a way to extend the length of the whole hanger without wrecking the timer sequence stuff?

Pretty simple, but a cool idea. Too bad there's no way to do it adequately in survival.

Wow just awesome work!

Awesome.

Thank you for posting this!
