HU-43e Angler Courier Ship (Vanilla)

NEW UPDATE: Doubled both Hydrogen and Atmospheric Brake Thrusters. The ship still doesn't stop on a dime, but performance should be significantly improved.

The Angler is a Jump-capable ship, geared toward early survival games. It uses a system of both hydrogen and atmospheric thrusters to traverse a multitude of environments. It's narrow cross section makes it perfect for landing in cramped places.

FEATURES
---------------------------------------------
1x Jump Drive
2x Hydrogen Tanks
1x Gatling Turret (Starboard Mounted)
1x Ore Detector
-- Seating for two people
-- Functioning Airlock with access hatch to the ground.

Runs MMaster's Automatic LCDs 2, as well as my own personal Airlock script.


This is a Vanilla repaint of the HU-43e Angler. If you would like the original Silver & Gold paint scheme (Economy DLC), you can find it at:

Operational notes:
------------------------------
"The Angler's shining attributes are its narrow profile and economic
construction. At only 12.5 meters wide, the Angler is capable of landing
on pads designed for much smaller craft. The ship is ideal for any
prospective traders looking to get off world on a budget.

"The ship has an unfortunate reputation for it's low brake thrust.
The Type-E has doubled both the atmospheric and hydrogen brake
thrusters from previous models, but it still doesn't stop on a dime.
Many veteran pilots have observed that in atmosphere, pitching the nose
up helps to augment the forward brake thrust with the lift thrust.

"In orbit the ship can also brake much faster when it flips around and
uses its main thrusters, much like a classic rocket. A tail camera is
provided to assist in such maneuvers.

"To conserve fuel, the ship's hydrogen thrusters can be toggled off while
cruising in atmosphere. It is important to note that without the hydrogen
thrusters, the ship's handling can be dangerously sluggish. Pilots are
advised to fly conservatively when flying without the ship's H2 system."
