WMI Spearhead Atmospheric Troop Transport Mk 2

Description
This ship is 100% vanilla and survival friendly :)




The Spearhead Mark 2 was designed to rapidly deploy her compliment of 4 troops in planetary environments while also carrying enough firepower to provide adequate fire support. The Spearhead is powered primarily with batteries, but she retains a small reactor cluster for kick-starting the engines in survival. She has 4 nose mounted gatlings to clear LZs, and her camera placement allows the user to engage targets at long ranges without having seizures from the muzzle flashes! Also, the status screens are visible from the camera views which is a huge plus!

The Spearhead is equipped with the latest WMI Artificial Horizon technology and the pilot is also provided a screen that details the status of his passengers. She has also been equipped with running lights for safer night time navigation.

Tips and Tricks
  • Bank into your turns! The Spearhead has very strong ventral thrust! Use this to make sharper turns
  • Use the cameras to aid in low level flight. They give you a better picture of the upcoming terrain
  • Flare the nose when landing to decelerate quicker!

This is a re-imagining of a pre-planet troop ship that I had designed. When planets came out, the old Spearhead was useless for anything but moon landings, so I had to rebuild her from scratch.

I hope y'all enjoy using this ship! :)

Whip this ship is awsome, but I'm not seeing the script for the passenger seat info anywhere? Is it up so we can sub to it ?

Yes.

Atmospheric troop transport. Does that mean it transports atmospheric troops?

@Dwarfy:
That is precisely how she is designed to be employed. Open air seating makes quick dismounts possible and if you master the landing flare, you can be in and out before the enemy gets too many shots off :)

@Viseage: I suspect this is meant to be employed either with the air cover needed to suppress turrets like that, or flown so low that those turrets won't get much opportunity to take it out.

@Whiplash141: fantastic as always! I particularly like how quickly it accelerates; essential for getting in and out before anyone can retaliate.

My artificial horizon script

@ Whiplash141 Gotcha

@ WildMan: I was thinking that maybe if someone does too close of a flyby to check for an LZ and an unseen turret opens up on the dropship, the troops inside would be somewhat safe, assuming the dropship pilot was smart enough to dart off.

scripts for the angle rotation lcd on the right?
