Anaconda (Elite Dangerous)

Description
DISCLAIMER
WARNING HEAVY MODS - SURVIVAL, PVP, and ROLEPLAY READY (4 refineries, 8 blast furances, 10 assemblers, full modules, lots of oxygen stuff, lots of hydrogen tanks, etc)

THE ANACONDA IS NO MY ORIGIONAL DESIGN, IT IS FAN ART BASED ON THE ELITE SERIES SHIP, "ANACONDA".

Overview
This is a 1:1 scale version of the Anaconda in Elite: Dangerous. It is big, cumbersome, yet very powerful and versitile. With the military composite bulkheads ;) It is 100% heavy armor on the outside. You are sure to get some feeling that you are in Elite: Dangerous flying the famous Anaconda.

Multi-Use Vessel
This ship can enter the atmosphere and hover as long as you have uranium :) (you only need hydrogen to slow down upon entry and escape upon exit of a planets influence, however, while navigating a planet, keep the ship LEVEL -- very important) and can travel through deep space and can jump up to 100km. Oxygen is working throughout the ship with 4 working airlocks (front port and starboard, hanger is an airlock, and one behind the bridge). It also has 2 drones that comes with this blueprint -- call them "limet nodes" :) They are very compact small ships basically with a battery, reactor, a cargo container and some guns/turret.

Added Help
I have also automated the docking and undocking proceedure for each drone, so don't lose them! :) Basically if you want to undock a drone, trigger the timer for "undock drone x" wait 20 seconds for the magic to happen. Ensure you are not inverted in a gravity field as the drone's "online" sensor relies on its ability to use its artificial mass for a short duration to "kick" it away from the anaconda so the sensors will power it up and make it avialable for use. When you dock the drone back to the anaconda, just get it close to the connector until the connector pulls the drone, then just exit remote control and forget it -- the anaconda will handle the rest automatically.

Uses
This is an excellent PVP ship, as my guild uses it as our flagship on our DS. It will allow visitors on the ship, however if a block is damaged or the ship is being worked on, it will enter a "Lockdown" mode in which an alarm will sound and all guns will target neutrals (they will already target reds). There is a button on the bridge that will trigger a timer (called "Lift Lockdown") that will reverse the effects of the lockdown (it will turn doors back on, and open them internally).

MOD WARNING
NOTICE ABOUT MODS: This may or may not be a complete mod list. I think I included the majority of them so the ship shouldn't fall apart, but to be save, I am including a save as a requirement in the next few hours which contains the 52 mod list from our DS.

I "think" that was all, but if there are more, let me know and I'll add them here. If you need the complete list, let me know and I'll put a link to an example world with all mods included.

PERFORMANCE ISSUES/BUGS
I designed this ship specifically on and for our guild's DS in survival mode. It is a mobile base but it is HUGE. When it moves your sim speed will plumit to at least 0.7. However, I'm able to maintain at least 35fps with a 680 while anywhere inside or outside the Anaconda.

There are no moving parts on this ship whatsoever. Again this was built for the DS in mind, so rotors and pistions do not exist even where it would be useful or more realistic, instead I used mods such as the boarding ramps instead of using rotors.

There is a "no mods" version of this ship, but it is very ... plain here: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=580537641&searchtext=anaconda+elite+dangerous

It is also unpainted, so knock yourself out :)

VALUEADD

I have also included the ship I built for the anaconda. It is a multi-role, multi-purpose atmospheric, moon, and space ready ship that has modular (interchanging) heads for big welding jobs, grinding jobs, or mining jobs -- heck or just use the ship to haul materials from your base to the anaconda :)
