BSG Viper Mk.II With Retractable Landing Gear by Lodebeard

Description
Colonial Viper MK.II and Variants by Lodebeard.

In addition to multiple MK.II Vipers, the file includes a MK.II-H Heavy Attack variant, as well as some experimental variants.

Includes a WIP version with functioning retractable landing gear. Mag lock does not work and gear can break off when maneuvering due to the current behaviour of rotors, but the gear can be raised and lowered. Adjust rotor velocities to move the gear. Use velocity values less than 3 to guarantee safe functioning. Remember to turn off the rotors to lock the gear in position so they do not flop around.

Please enjoy! Feedback is welcome.

Lode


**************WARNING****************
Thruster damage is turned off in this file.
If you turn it on, the internal thrusters will destroy the ship.

@99justin - read a bit. This is a very old mod and was made before thrusters could damage stuff. Unless thruster damage is turned off, thi ship WILL kill itself.

make a vertion where it doesn't destroy itself please.

Until there is a game mechanic that can do a catapult i think the best launch tubes for now would be just triangular tube a little bigger than the viper and you fly out uder your own power. It already accelerates so fast.

well it's built to a roughly accurate scale 1.2km long and 500m wide. Your Vipers fit, maybe not enough room for a full complement but well worth it. Can't figure out how to make launch tubes..

@UberSeraph Go for it! Please make use of them. Your Battlestar must be huge if it is built to the same scale as these vipers...

Hello Lodebeard! Great work on the Vipers. Shame that the landing gear stuggles with the G-forces that a viper can pull but lets hope that improves with the game.

I am currently building the old Nova Class Galactica from the 70's and would love to include your Vipers in it. Is that ok? If you agree then I will of course tell the world of your great work in the description when I post it on the workshop :)

ps. I have modified them to work with thruster damage.

@JaHck23 Thruster damage is turned off by default when you download the world, so it should work. Is the ship not working for you?

Revising it so the ship could function with thruster damage turned on is impossible because of the design

hello, this is a great work, but can you machine again revise, because of the thruster damage?

@Lodebeard I live in Moscow. This is beautiful city. But only then you live here 1 year. I think all cities beautiful but if you live there many years you don't surprised by this city.
