Description
Lionel Expeditioner

Details

A purebred exploration ship, Hevyware PLC produced the Lionel Expeditioner to perform in any environment imaginable. With enormous articulated thruster nacelles it can handle high gravity with ease, with no restrictions in regards to atmospheric conditions. The awesome thrust capacity and wide-set nacelles also allow it to function as a heavy-lift vehicle, as well as being an unlikely hit amongst drag racers and thrill seekers.

Its large glass cockpit allows for unparalleled visibility, making it a popular choice both for privately owned survey operations and personal leisure excursions. The Lionel’s respectable cargo capacity allows for the storage of geological samples, and passenger seating in the rear can accommodate for when you need to bring experts on-site. On board medical facilities are useful for emergencies while on an expedition, and make the Lionel useable as a medevac/search and rescue ship, and its strong landing gear let it land reliably even on tough terrain.

The Lionel Expeditioner is a truly versatile craft, able to fit various needs and criteria for private or personal use. If you can think it, the Lionel can probably do it and make it fun.

”I love this thing! Fast as hell, turns like a bus though.” - Jensen Chaser, former drag racer, current official test pilot for Hevyware PLC

Absolutely agree @Venom, I love anything that can add more immedsion to SE. @123 thanks for using it! I love the inventive solution lol nice job, I'm lazy and just use the multigrid projector plugin:)

to get the ship in survival, I went to creative first and removed the rotor heads of both of the nacelles. i did this in space with a tug i had. i made projections for each side and the main ship. i went to my survival save and built the main ship first at my earth base. then built the nacelles one at a time. had to grind off the rotor part on the main ship but used an atmo tug and gently placed the nacelles one at a time into the slot and connected the rotor part. it worked perfectly for me. the only thing i didnt get copied over was the landing gear due to i dont use landing gear really so it wasnt something i was concerned with but if you look at it you could add it manually after construction. It is a great ship and can really get moving.

Ships with cockpits like this make me wish SE had native VR support, flying around in this would look amazing through VR.:mooo:

@Solar if you're trying to build it in survival first off, thanks! But yeah standard vanilla projectors don't support subgrids. I recommend installing the Plugin Loader (https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2407984968) , then activate the Multigrid Projector plugin. You won't need to have mods in your world and plugin loader should be easy to set up.

Post another comment if you have further trouble, it's a shame that the base game doesn't have multigrid projections but the mod really is a life-saver/game-changer and you can use it even on servers. Good luck:)

My projector isn't showing the nacelles or whatever is attached to the hinges. Also I don't see groups for the atmo thrusters.

Thanks guys, v happy to see people like this kind of ship they're fun to make. Taidyr I love your designs so that means alot:) Thanks for the tip @GrandiosoBarihawk, I never tried them with inertia tensor on since I didn't have issues with the rotation in my own testing, might give it a try and see how it handles!

To anyone who is having problems with the engine nacelles getting clangy, turn on "Share Inertia Tensors" for the nacelle rotors ONLY. When the nacelles rotate your ship will pitch a bit but it will go back to normal quickly and will be stable.
