MCT Sýnir

NO MODS OR DLCS REQUIRED! This ship uses rotors and hinges, but no pistons. It also can be made compatible with WeaponCore–see below.

The Sýnir is a variant of the MCT, or Miniature Combat Type, which is comparable to corvettes or skiffs in other navies. Its forward gatling turrets and rocket launchers have been replaced with a LIDAR guidance array, two Diamond Dome-controlled PDC4 turrets, and two quad missile racks using WHAM/LAMP missile technology from Whiplash Military Industries. These significantly increase its combat capablility at both long range–missiles can reliably obtain lock at up to 10 km–and within the close spitting distance of both PDC4s. The Sýnir, like the standard MCT, is fully ready for all survival situations (how to assemble the various parts of the ship will hopefully be explained in a forthcoming guide) and can operate over most planets and moons.

if u like ship pls leave a rating ^-^ <3

-Mass: 613,408 kg. empty
-PCU: 18,600
-Blocks: 1,447 total; 858 on ship
-Acceleration: 0-104 m/s in approx. 4 seconds forwards, 6ish seconds backwards, all other directions same or slower.
-Scripts: AutoLevel by Archon for bow-up planetary flight mode, Diamond Dome by Alysius et. al,WHAM/LAMP/Missile Status by Whip, and Fancy Flight Info by Blargmode. This last script is optional; due to its constant, large updates (or something, I'm not a geek) it is not recommended for multiplayer servers. It does however look VERY cool.

There have been missile variants of the MCT for some time, but I wanted to make one that didn't rely on private scripts and multi-grid projections. For the Sýnir, a standard MCT hull was modified with a LIDAR array, PDCs, and missile racks adapted from other projects. I also added a few nice touches now possible with the blocks from Keen's Heavy Industry update.

WeaponCore Compatability:
Though outfitted for vanilla, this ship can easily accommodate WeaponCore (WC). To obtain a WC-compatable version of Diamond Dome for control of PDCs, join this discord server[discord.gg]. Several different iterations of Diamond Dome can be found in the pinned messages of the channel; script setup is the same as vanilla, so you can just paste the code into the programmable block (tagged DDS CPU) and it will work. Consider sticking around-any questions you have will most likely be promptly answered, and the server is looking for input from new potential players to plan for their next iteration.

The ship's name, Sýnir ("Visions" in Icelandic), is the title of a fantastic Kælan Mikla song from their self-titled debut.
