Cypher Raven SS

Cypher Industries unveils its new stealth shuttle variant the Raven SS. Designed to undertake discreet intel gathering tasks, the Raven SS features a bespoke stealth signature mode. This mode effectively lessens power emissions and reduces the ships overall structural profile, rendering it all but invisible to conventional detection.

::No mods ::No scripts

NOTE
-The landing sensor is set to detect large ship and station grids only. This is to avoid triggering the landing sequence unnecessarily if you're just flying low to the ground. So, if you want to use the landing/ takeoff sequence successfully, make sure you're landing on a grid.

UPDATE 01/04/19
-Added a total of 12 more ion thrusters left and right to help with side drift in space.

UPDATE 31/03/19
-Fixed landing sensor not triggering and therefore not completing the landing sequence.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Refer to the Hotbar (Toolbar) Key graphic to identify timer block activated features.
- If the rotating side panels (the wings) get stuck in an unwanted position use the manual rotor control on Toolbar page 3.
- The thrust override mode to exit atmosphere is only effective if you keep the ships elevation angle under 40 degrees. Any steeper and you'll find yourself dropping like a rock despite thrusters at full burn.
- The ship does have two programmable blocks on-board, but they are inactive. I will leave it up to you to decide what scripts, if any, you'd like to use.

Also, note: The corner lcd indicators only change via timer block actions. Meaning, if you manually, say, turn on only ion thrusters and turn off atmo thrust, the lcd indicators and lighting will not change to space flight mode. How could it? However, the next time you activate space flight mode via timer block, the specific thrusters, lighting and indicators denoting you're in space mode may not activate properly. This is the downside to trying to automate "modes" only using vanilla timers.

Also, also, note: I made this before I realized 200 mm missiles no longer pass through small conveyor connection? So, the reload-able rocket launchers have to be loaded by hand. Sorry. I suppose, that being the case, you could replace the 2 reload-able rocket launchers for 6 single rocket launchers if you were so inclined.

Auto landing and takeoff [Atmosphere Only]
This is a very rudimentary implementation. No scripts or ray-tracing used. Made possible by timer blocks and sensors.
-To automatically land it's recommended to level your craft above your landing zone and ensure there are no obstacles in your path. Switch your toolbar to page 2 and press #6. Sit back and take a sip of coffee, the Raven SS on-board computer will take it from here.

-To automatically take off, first make sure your vertical path is clear, switch to toolbar page 2 and press #5. The ship will unlock landing gear and activate thruster override for a time. Once it reaches optimal height it will disengage override, open side panels and release control to the pilot.
