Merc-X5R "Kriss" Gunship SV

Description
--==UPDATE==--
Nov. 01 2022 - - Added a quick link to the youtube coverage of the Kriss on jrandall's page
A direct link to Jeff's youtube can be found from here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rspotJ1yrtQ
Oct. 07 2022 - - Added Quick Access Hatch above pilots seat to enter vessel from the top front.
Oct. 04 2022 - - Adjusted the Pilot seat back to make the user auto eject to the
rear of the seat instead of possibly to the side. Thanks to @InventiveExile for finding the issue!

===========================================================================
The Merc-X5R "Kriss" was designed from the ground up as a Medium to Heavy gunship built for
farming drone parts on lava planets plus other such combat objectives. It comes with a warp drive
and a shield though for CPU early on i recommend ditching the warp drive in exchange for shield
upgrades until you can outfit some AUX or Quantum CPU upgrades.
The cockpit is encased in combat steel along with most of the fuel tanks.

--==This ship is meant to be upgraded!==--

A Vanilla version was retrofitted as a very capable gunship on Vanilla gameplay and is available
here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2869988364

Thats actually not a bad idea. I'll add a shutter on top because i feel the quick access is helpful too.

Another tidbit worth adding I think, is that I placed a 1x1 shutter on the roof for easy access to the pilot's seat and have been very surprised how often I use it to enter the ship. I absolutely love the ability to exit into the ship rather than other cockpits dumping you into an exposed position. This ship is an absolute monster and a joy to fly!

I changed the seat to the other 1,1,3 version and it seems much better. I've noticed that being in 1st person rather than 3rd when exiting effects the direction it places you but inconsistently. I also tweaked some of the blocks around there which helped a bit. I'm really liking the ship. Sorry I seemed so pessimistic.

ok I tested a few more times @InventiveExile. The issue is repeatable in space at a certain angle. I will have a fix for this within the hour. Thanks for bring it to my attention!

I tested this several time and would be exited out behind the seat every time Minus once or twice every hundred attempts because i know there's issues with pilot seats on small craft. Even the one or 2 times i exited the side crouching would allow me to move. Sorry if it gave you trouble @InventiveExile :(

Would be a great ship if I could exit the pilot seat and leave the ship without needing to enter god mode.
