Helios MSD-2-S Mass Shift Drive (small grid)

[Vanilla|Survival Ready|Subgrids]

A small ship mass shift clang drive, I guess you all know how they work by now.

It's basically a small ship version of this.
It's probably too powerful, if so, take out some of the iron from the cargo container, or reduce the power in the script.

You need the Clang Drive Manager Script installed on a prog block on your ship. The script will detect and operate the drive automatically. For more info visit the workshop page of the script. This drive works in two direction simultaneously, so a forwards facing one can also provide thrust in the backwards direction etc. You can place these in all directions you want, the script will recognize them automatically and address them properly depending on the orientation with wasd as input.
It needs to be place in line with the center of mass of your ship and the cargo containers must not be conveyored.

One of the rotors is set to share inertial tensor to vastly increase the safety of this drive. You can turn it off, but it will be alot more wobbly. You can also turn it on for the second rotor, it will be even more stable, but you'll need many more gyros for turning.

You want to build this in survival?
Simple, just copy it: medium cargo-adv roto-adv roto-medium cargo and put some iron ingots in any of the cargos (~10-20 tons)


-Blocks: 6
-PCU: 222
-Mass: 2.5 t + 20 t shift mass (shift mass can be reduced to around 10 t -> less power)
-Force: ~10 MN (about 20 small grid large hydro thrusters)


-Place it on your ship (yellow cargo points outwards)
-Make sure it is not conveyored
-Make sure it is in line with the center of mass (else it will exert torque on your ship)
-Install the Clang Drive Manager Script on a prog block on your ship
