@KRA It was made to blow the warhound up :P

Reminds me of the Warhound

:D lol

Who would have thought that throwing in a free Valkyrie would cause such a comotion.

Yep, just found that too, but my post got ninja'd.

FOUND!!! They belong to the small ship attached to the bottom of the Scylla!
Ok... sorry for that, but since you have many rotor's that higlight with different colors element's on those other grid, I was misleaded by the thousands of colors of the K menu. :D

Now I gotta check this out. Not the first time my hotbars have been screwed with.

I was just wondering on why there are those athmosperic thrusters listed on the K menu of the ship, just asking. Nothing important, just wondering since I usually don't add things on a ship that are not supposed to be used at all.

I don't know what you are getting at. The scylla has no atmospheric thrusters inside it, it is 100% Hydrogen Driven. I have access to atmospheric thrusters but I decided not to use them.

So it's a bug???

I know of the existance of atmo thrusters, but there are no atmo thrusters on the scylla. The large atmo thrusters will not fit inside the hull.

About your point 5 thrusters, are you sure? Because I see in the K menu plenty of atmospehric thrusters.

Ahah yes I foud that character limite too, this time. Anyway thanks for the hints. About dimensions vs mass vs classification 5URG3 is very experienced in that, and he told me what I've learnd about the frigate/cruise/whatever naming.

Why the hell is there a character limit??

4. I named it a cruiser because that's what it looked like to me. I have never been able to find a *complete* ship guide for SE. Bomber Frigate sounds fine with me tho, I can change that next time.

5. It has Hydrogen Thrusters, not atmo. Atmo do nothing in space and are more space consuming than ions. The original Mk. I had 100% Ions because that was all that was out, and when I was testing the flight strength of the Mk. II it had serious issues inside atmospheres because even the slightest tilt caused it to tip and sink aggressively, so I kicked the ions out. About the lack of solid fuel, the Scylla was not been to be that durable, only a fast response hit-and-run style bomber that got in, did her buisiness, and got out, usually to a rally point or an outpost it can refuel at. The generators are only to refuel but should not be relied on.

Any other questions or things I missed?

2. The rotors on sticks are too make it look cool, but it has two main purposes. One, the decoys draw attention away from the main hull and preserve damage for however long the exterior decoys can hold out for. Two, It features the ability to eject those decoys should it be necessary for escapes or deversions. All this on one convienent button on the bridge.

3. The auto healing only covers key areas like where the interior decoys are and keeping the bombing platform healthy for as long as possible.

@Trozzo
I'm happy to cooperate with your questions, and I'll try to answer them as best I can.

1. Yes, it is 100% relient on hydrogen, but I wanted it to be a nice feature that it can operate inside of atmospheres (Even if only for a short time) but I did not actually test the durability of the reserves. I know for a fact that even with cargo onboard the upward thrust is enough to counteract the planet's pull and then some but how fast the fuel reserve will burn I do not know. One feature that relates to this a bit is that I spent a good deal of time putting in an extending landing gear system that can allow it to rest of the surface and save fuel that way or even stopping to mine ice, escentially roosting.

Damn Character Limit

Hey bud, just some questions since I'm working on a cruiser class ship too.
And since cruisers are very rare on the workshop (and if there are some, are almost outdated atm) I'm very interested.
1) The ship relay a lot on hydrogen thrusters, did you tested it in survival on how much time the ship goes on before hydro tanks deplete?
2) Why 1 single decoy on a rotor? It can be repaired by some hidden welders?
3) What does exactly your welders repair?
4) While my cruiser hit the limits of mass (7kt and 120+m) and lenght to be classified as cruiser, your's seems more a frigate (with your 3.6kt mass) then a cruiser
5) It does have atmo thrusters but not ion thrusers, again isn't too risky to relay almost exclusively on hydrogen thrusters? 6 oxygen generators cannot replenish the tank with more or the same amout of hydrogen used by thrusers at the same time, you know that.

I like the sleekness and color choice
