ES-8 Missile Platform
A development of a ship I made for the Boat Challenge, except its bigger, better and has double the fire power of its predecessor. Use roll to turn, pitch to change the fire angle and VTOL slider to turn the turrets. Activators 1-3 activate cannons while the respective cameras follow the respective set of projectiles. Activator 4 in conjunction with pitch primes the unguided missiles and activates the (crude) recoil system, while activators 5 and 6 fire the missiles (keep holding the pitch to keep the engines going. A side effect is that the ship goes into reverse due to the recoil system), again, you can follow each set with the respective cameras. Please note that some devises may experience lag with this version. Also, try to avoid throttling to 100% as it results in violent oscillations along the longitudinal axis.
