So, it's been a while since I last posted a build onto this website, and this is the reason why. I present to you my fan designed Mandator V Class Siege Dreadnought for Star Wars.
If any of you have seen the Mandator IV from Star Wars The Last Jedi, you would know that ship is not exactly a visually appealing ship nor does it seem to be particularly threatening. As a result, I decided to go on a bit of an ego trip and set out to design something that not only looked menacing, but had the firepower to back it up.
Because this is my first time attempting a build like this, I recognize that there is definitely room for improvement, especially on part efficiency and what should and should not be included on the model. I hope to at least address, if not completely solve these issues the next time I make a Star Wars capital ship in SimplePlanes.
Screenshots
Weapons: Because of my less than stellar prioritization of parts, only a fraction of the weapons emplacements you see on the dreadnought are functional in the game. The only functional weapons are the two massive cannons on the underside of the ship, and the six-barreled turrets that you see scattered around the ship. The dual and quad barrel emplacements are just for show and are not functional.
Handling: This is another thing I hope to solve on the next Star Wars build, it does not handle well and can be quite tricky to fly. For that I apologize. Here are the controls.
Controls:
Ag8 (Activate Lift Engine), VTOL Slider is the throttle for this engine.
Ag7: Activate Pitch, Roll, Yaw, Forward and Reverse Controls.
Ag3: Activate Centerline Main Turrets (VTOL and Trim control traverse and elevation)
Ag2: Activate Wing Main Turrets (VTOL and Trim control traverse and elevation).
Ag1: Activate Orbital Autocannons (Trim to depress the guns down).

@coastalwar718
That seems to be a common theme among users, including myself to an extent.
holy shit is this cool.
the only little thing is it made my laptop into a stove with those temps
@localf15enjoyer
I am planning on making another Star Wars build, though the time to build it will probably be a while.
Great job! Hoping for more Star Wars content
holy part count
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH MY FPS!!!!
@SIRCOMMANDER031
Dangit.
No more funny number 😈
@ThatRandomCouchPotato
Well, in any case, tag me on the post.
@SPairforce
yeah, I was going to release mine tomorrow lol.
same happened for my a330 and 787.
@ThatRandomCouchPotato
Wait what?
Bro why is it that whenever I build something, someone releases the exact same thing like two days before I do?
Looks like my phone is going to turn into a Tsar Bomba.
@SPairforce Lol good work bro i like it
@SJ16
If I didn't disable the drag on the parts, my PC my legitimately qualify as an IED.

5,267 parts?! oh my tablet would literally pull a gun, kill me and end its misery of downloading this. looks good tho imo
@Astro12
My computer tried to off itself a few times running this.

@SimplePotato
Yeah, that's something to work on in future builds like this.
