MW-Raven

The Raven is the third mech to be released in my MachineCraft battlemech line.

This mech is a fast, light scout.

As is my trend - the build uses NO movers. However, to achieve the fast speed of the light mech, I had to use two thrusters to increase the speed.

Statistics:
>5735 Health | UPDATE 1 -> 5804 Health
>878 Energy | UPDATE 1 -> 901 Energy
>1838.69 Weight | UPDATE 1 -> 1866.89 Weight
>2581 Blocks | UPDATE 1 -> 2583 Blocks
>2 Beamers - each has 4 1-long beamers compacted into it (Medium Lasers)
>Rapid fire gatling gun (It looks like a UAC/5 - but I just went for the cool factor and made it shoot fast))
>6 mine launchers (SRMs)

Features:
>A first person view that enables you to look around the cockpit. Indicator screens/lights show Backup Gyro state, Arm Lock state, and Torso Lock state.
>360 degree torso rotation
>A cactus bobble-head in the cockpit
>Interchangeable camos/paintjobs

Controls:
W - Move forward
S - Tilt backwards (The Raven has a tendency to fall flat on its face when it stops due to how fast it moves. Press S when you stop moving forward to keep the Raven upright)
A - Turn left
D - Turn right
Spacebar - No friction (This allows the Raven to turn more easily)
Left Shift (Toggle) - Torso Lock. This unlocks the torso and allows the upper torso to rotate independently from the legs.
F (Toggle) - First Person view.
R (Toggle) - Arm Lock. This unlocks the arms and enables them to move around with the camera.
1 (Toggle) - Backup Forward Gyro. If the mech tilts backwards (most likely on slopes) then activate this. It will help keep the mech upright.
Mouse1 - Gatling gun
Mouse2 - Beamers
Mouse3 - Launchers



As with the previous build, the Raven also features interchangeable camos/paintjobs.

While editing the Raven, there are rows of unattached coloured cubes at the bottom. This is the colour pallet. The cubes are arranged in rows with 4 blocks in each row - the colours in 1 row go together.

Using the Mouse3 button - you can colour select from these cubes. (After colour picking, I suggest modifying the colour ever so slightly - so that when you use right click, the colour pallet doesn't get changed as well.)

After colour picking, use the right mouse button on the matching blocks directly below the Raven. This will replace all of that 1 colour with your chosen colour. There are also cubes and capsules line up here as well. Right click them to colour them as well.


Enjoy!


UPDATE 1:
>Increased the health of the legs slightly
>Added two anti-gravity devices to help stabilize the Raven. It should tip over less when stopping.
>Fixed the forward/backwards gyros being visible. You should no longer see them spinning on the sides of the torso.
