Prometheus Gunship

BLOCK I UPGRADE (IMPORTANT):

- removal of Gatling Turrets
- Added 2xGatling Rotor-Gyro Turrets. control with Remote blocks (binded in Underwing Cockpits)
- Reworked armor design around wings to allow freedom of rotation to turrets.
- reworked some controls in cockpits

the Block I upgrade adds the aformentioned standalone turrets. these turrets use the base gatling guns, which fire much faster than small turrets. they have a limited attack angle; always rotate vertically in and out of the forward position if you intend to use it in a support fashion. the guns have a depression maximum, but if you yank too hard it will probably break something.

this also adds note to the fact that the gyros and rotors aren't locked too tightly; if you intend on making a high-speed manuever, safety lock the rotors first otherwise something might snap. always take a welder and check the state of blocks before and after flights to ensure ♥♥♥♥ doesn't break. you can replace the gatling guns with rocket launchers but that will need you to completely reconstruct the turrets. it shouldn't be too hard though, just don't confuse the sides and everything'll be fine.

the guns aren't linked to the main conveyor anymore, so to rearm them you'll need to find that sweet spot either on the remote end or on the rotor end. the gatling guns are side to side so you can reload the both of them from either end.

Additional Notes:

EDIT: The important note before has been implemented. we'll see how it goes.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am considering a manual controlled, 2-rotor Turret setup to replace the Gatling Turret. i will post update notes if that happens, but assume it won't for now.


The Prometheus functions similarly to the ravenclaw. However, in my opinion it is slightly more aesthetically pleasing, and it is heavier. it flies slightly faster and handles better (given the updated tech put into it), but features less armor near the turrets. there's not too many interesting things about it; i just felt that i needed to give a fighter/gunship role another go.

aside from that, there is a slit cut inside each wing to allow the turrets to engage forward. if you wish to use them without the classic autotargeting AI, simply turn off all the targeting filters and use (2) on the fighter cockpit's control to toggle fire on/off. remember, gatling turrets fire slower than gatling guns, so there's not too much use there.

there is a fighter variant for this aircraft as well, just like the relationship between the ravenclaw and the artemis, but i haven't decided whether or not i'll upload that. feedback would be appreciated though, since there hasn't been much feedback about strike fighters or gunships in general so far.
