** Sorry for the enormous size mobile users, built and tested on PC(the best SimplePlanes experience) with highest settings**

Here is the final piece of the Aliens weekend team build brought to by @DethFromAbove,@Wakescar, and myself. If you haven't already, check out DethfromAbove's USCM Dropship and Wakescar's Exo-Suit vs Alien. It was awesome to collaborate with these amazing builders and look forward to more fun projects.

**Driving: Roll is steering, yaw and pitch control turrets. 1 detaches from fuel/engine base. 2-4 is firing. **

This thing took forever to build, all structural wings for the body to keep the weight down. The result is a pretty durable and rather large APC that can make some smaller jumps, but bottoms out on bigger ones and then either breaks or explodes. The suspension can take some hits. Aliens is such an awesome movie. if you haven't watched it do yourself a favor and see it. I loved this vehicle when I was younger, and its pretty awesome to drive it now.

    @KingDeadshot you do realize I was a gold player before I got this job, right? If you enjoy the game then stick around, it will only get better.

    @WeeBabySeamus there is a glitch in one of PlanesOfOlds planes. He told me you could or the other DEVS might tell me how to fix it, or about it. Your the best user ever buddy!

    @WeeBabySeamus Good evening sir. I am so pleased by your view of the community, its really great that your experience of this place reflects my own as I know I have had such a great time being a part of it, its like a second family, it gives a tremendous amount back, and is self supporting, something I have never come across before... anywhere. I am also greatly encouraged that YOU are a distinct working part of the thing we all take part in, your supportive nature and encouragement is always well received, to have that as an input into the game itself is of real benefit to us all. Much obliged to you as always kind sir, and my deepest thanks as always! be good, and all the best to you

    @hypnotoad the same could be said for the position I am in now. This job came to fruition from someone congratulating me one reaching gold in the subreddit, and Andrew took notice of my portfolio I linked when commenting on my background. Without the gold status, this might have never happened without players like you rating my stuff and encouraging me to make more. Trust me when I say that the mission of this company is to make content the players enjoy. Their core gaming values are strong and are focused around what is fun. Ive never worked with such down to earth, awesome people. I hope to bring the best out of this company and make content the players enjoy. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you. cheers mate :)

    @WeeBabySeamus dear sir. I just wanted to say thank you very much for getting me where I am today. I reached 10k just now and although I know it's only vanity, and I am truly undeserving of any kind status; given my comparative skill level when compared to all around me, I still very much owe much of this to you. I am ever so pleased you are a Dev, to have such good and honest people supporting this fabulous thing is a real comfort to me. All the very best to you chap.
