"Leviathan" Super Capital Ship

5,138 StrykrIV  7.1 years ago

(If you want to skip everything else, be sure to at least read the Flying section)

The Leviathan is a giant, heavily armed super capital ship measuring over 1,000 feet in length (too big to fit in the designer in one photo!). It is capable of cruising at over 300MPH at low altitudes and over 700 at high altitudes (although it becomes very twitchy to control at this point so I’d avoid it).

The bridge is fully modelled and has six different seats you can be in.

Armament:
2x forward-facing fixed-rotation turrets
4x side-facing fixed-rotation chainguns
4x side-facing fixed-rotation heavy turrets
2x side-facing lasers
2x side-facing bomb launchers, each carrying 2 bombs made of 6 Boom 50s. Can be detonated early. (see Groups)
1 forward-facing single shot missile launcher, firing a total of 14 missiles in a flat cone in front of you.

Flying:
You should be easily able to launch from the Wright airport, although the end of the ship will be off the runway. Don’t launch from the Yeager airport as the ship clips into the hangar behind you and will instantly explode. Everywhere else should be fine to launch from.
The trim slider is used to control the downward facing engines. The ship suffers from a pretty bad permanent upwards pitch that I haven’t been able to fix, so these engines help that a lot. Trim up to throttle up the engines.
Slowing down to land isn't a problem, as the ship slows down almost instantly because of the insane amount of drag it creates :/

Groups:
G1: Controls forward facing turrets
G2: Controls port side guns
G3: Controls starboard side guns
G4: Fires port side bombs. Press space to detonate early when clear of the ship.
G5: Fires starboard side bombs. Again, use space to detonate early.
G6: Unused
G7: Fires missile launcher
