Hiigaran Pulsar Mech Gunship - HomeWorld 2

A small grid ship designed to emulate the look and feel of the ships from the classic game HomeWorld 2. These are not built to any specific size- they are roughly half scale, based on available details.

Details:

No mods, totally vanilla
Survival ready
Full conveyor system
Oxygen & Hydrogen systems
Hydrogen & Ion thrusters- space only, will not work in gravity
4 missile turrets
12 gatling guns
Cargo storage and Connector for refuelling and rearming

Special Features:

Two cockpits are concealed inside the front of the ship for protection- gunner and pilot.
Cameras all around for good visibility during 1st person control, including gun cameras.
Concealed thrusters- most thrusters are inside the ship, block damage is turned ON- adequate space is allowed to prevent thrusters damaging near-by blocks.
All heavy armour- this ship can take serious damage before being disabled

GunShip- this ship can be flown by one person and simplified controls for the weapons are laid out in the front Pilots cockpit. The rear cockpit has additional controls for turning the large upper and lower turrets for full manual aiming. Full operating instructions are detailed on LCD screens viewable from the ships cockpits.

IMPORTANT NOTE: you will need to use the K menu and turn on the group labelled *ALL Gatlings* before the gatling gun controls will work properly without having to set them all up again- don't blame me, blame Space Engineers and the way it deals with groupings of items that are turned on & off in one group...

Side note: I believe this ship was an upgraded version of the standard Pulsar Corvette, which featured in a mod pack for the original HomeWorld 2 game- I liked it more than standard version so I decided to include this beefed up gunship in my HomeWorld 2 series of ships.


Fun fact: I've never played any of the HomeWorld games, but it's one of things I've always liked due to the art style, so recently I decided to pay homage by building a series a ships from the classic games. I've started out with the small ships, I will move onto the larger ones later- all vanilla, no mods, all playable in survival mode if you fancy your very own Hiigaran fleet...
