Q1. "How do you fly without the nose dipping?"
A1. Make sure you LOCK the rotors by pressing [8] for maximum flight abilities. Don't forget to turn Lock OFF to switch flight modes!

Q2. "Why do the trusters 'pulse' when flying on Planets?"
A2. This is a game issue only the devs can fix. Sorry :(

how much can it lift max?

yes i did

I think, you should have inserted decoys into the ship itself. Somewhere on the tail, for example.

Strike vector much?
Extevious  [author] 2 Nov, 2016 @ 2:05pm 
Did you unlock the rotors by pressing 1 first?
Basti 2 Nov, 2016 @ 2:03pm 
it changes to 8 when i switch modes
Basti 2 Nov, 2016 @ 2:03pm 
Advanced Rotor 01 speed left is set to 8 instead of -8 so it doesnt work

Its great if you have Decoy drones to draw the fire away from the gunship. It has a merge block so you could turn this thing into a deadly dive bomber if that is what you want to use it for. other then that, it takes care of fighters and ground targets pretty quickly.
Thanks for the comment!

It is a really fun ship to fly around and if your target isn't equipped with turrets, then it would be a great choice for an assault. Great work on this one.

@Extervious-V Aahh ok. That is something my 3k hours of the game didn't tell me.

I did do a field test of the VTOL against a lightly armed target, and well .it went about as well as I could expect. Small ships have the problem of turrets auto-targetting the cockpit, and hitting with good enough precision to knock you out of it with the first 5 seconds of the engagement beginning. I suffer with this problem as well when building fighters and gunships. It is quite annoying honestly. I wish cockpits were tougher or turrets didn't immediately go for the headshot like that. Makes fights way to quick and rather boring, unable to stay and do anything.

I wish I could give a suggestion about this, but the only thing you can really do is either put out huge wings with heavy armor filled with decoys, which wouldn't fit this ship, or surround the cockpit in heavy armor, which again, wouldn't fit the ship.
