Thunderbird 2

Calling International Rescue!!!..... Dum du Du Dummm Du Du DU DU DU DUUUUUU!!!! (Theme tune)

Hello there Space Engineers. Thought id go nostalgic and attempt a Thunderbird build. So yeah, went ahead and built Thunderbird 2!

This is using only one MOD but, you can load it as per a standard vanilla game and you'll find only the 3x1x1 and 2x2x1 ramps are gone.. but these can be replaced with standard vanilla 2x1x1 ramps. (They just look a bit daft with the white outline pannles on the angled section)

Anyway, You can land the ship flat on the ground and the wheels "should" take most of the weight. Then disengage the Hydrogen Thrusters with the option on the G Bar.
Next, disengage merge blocks with the option on the G bar.

Then press 1. The ship will slowly rise, leaving the crappy/hastily finished pod on the ground.

You can repeat the process again to pick up the pod... Although, being space engineers... expect a "BOOM" when reconnecting the Pod.


The ship has all the usual stuff minus cryo chambers.

I know its looking a bit fubar, but I kind of made this a little bit daftly as I set out the ship layout, but didn't really design a pod until the last minute. I may redesign the pod and slightly lengthen the ship, as the current size looks a bit off. Plus im trying to get the hang of building more functional/working ships with working parts. I kind of toyed with the stilts idea with my last fighter to see how it worked, and how buggy it was. It kindof works, but with the landing gear attached to a piston, it wont let you lock them to any surface still.

I also wanted to build a lift into the cockpit area, so when the ship is up on its stils, the lift can drop down to the surface... but this will likely require more mods Like the Lift Block and a 1x1x1 piston or something, but this will also lose the air tightness of the ship, AND ALSO the engine room is not airtight even though i put in two vents, but its just because a thruster is coming through the floor. I may add more/redesign or let sleeping dogs rest with this ship. (Not really sure)

The ship only runs on hydrogen and it has lots of hydrogen tanks. And its fast, even breaking the standard speed despite there being no speed mods used. (Especially when flying up/space bar)

Anyway, any queries/whatever's, get in touch.

and feel free to use the ship how ever you wish - Videos/crashing but not really battles, as there are no weapons on board, and its lightly armored except for some places... Saying that, you could fill the drop pod with warheads......... :P

Cheers.
