OBSOLETE Disdain Mk I (Bomber)

Description
OBSOLETE: I will not be supporting these ships, however you should be able to find ships that perform the same functions or better, plus some extras, here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/?id=1704002022

My first attempt at a Bomber, works in survival, fast but is only lightly armored, so don't be afraid to drop some decoys!

Uses Takeshi's plane parts mod (http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=837058476) and two scripts;

Fancy Ruler (http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=862033168) and

Automatic LCDs (https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=822950976).

The "bombs" are merge blocks with armed warhead blocks attached that are welded 2 at a time by a welder under the tail of the plane. Alternatively decoys attached to merge blocks can be dropped two at a time, if things are getting too hot. This is controlled by the two projectors.

Runs on battery power and uses Atmospheric thrusters only. Easily VTOL capable, and has thrusters in all directions and enough Gyros for smooth turning.

Armed with 4 gatling turrets and 3 front fancing gatlings, the second cockpit is for the gunner and is set up to take control of the turrets and toggle them on/off.

Equipped with the usual antenna, Remote control, connector in the rear, cameras mounted front, rear and underside, lights and spotlights.

main Cockpit controls:

Control bar 1 - gatling cannon control, Fancy Ruler Script for downward facing camera (to help with bomb targeting, so you know when you are actually above your target), Front, rear and underside camera views, gatling turret controls

Control bar 2 - battery, thruster and light control

Control bar 3 - set up for actually dropping the bombs, toggels the welder, projectors, merge block and timers to continuously drop bombs as they finish.

Main cockpit has 2 text panels, one for the fancy ruler, the other uses MMasters Automatic LCDs and shows:
-Stop time
-Ship mass
-Cargo used
-Whether the welder is on/off
-shows any damaged blocks

Can also be used to clear mining sites of overburden.
