Sound Block - back up beeper

Has an empty mass of 22598 kg

All Programmable blocks are turned off in this blueprint, to get them going again, just turn them back on. Each ship also has text panels on the sides to display a registration number.

All ships in this set have a rear mounted Merge block and can be printed using a welder wall with one (large grid) piston.

Using The Autopilot:

• DAS comes with an autopilot feature that will follow waypoints set up in the Remote Control (like with the vanilla autopilot), however it will not perform any of the actions added there, and will only trigger a specific timer block on reaching each waypoint.
  
• The sensor turns on the timer block (Bsn TB DAS Waypoint) when it detects a large ship or station under the vehicle, which means the script will only attempt to stop and dock at a waypoint if it detects that it is on a large ship or station, otherwise the vehicle will move through the waypoints without stopping.
  
• The autopilot is set to a circle patrol route and moves very slowly (to allow enough time for the handbrake to stop the vehicle in time when docking).
  
• To set up a delivery route, make sure you are controlling the vehicle from the remote control block (as this will be where the GPS markers will be taken from, and where the RC will aim for) and go through the route, taking markers as you go.
  
• The DAS autopilot has no collision avoidance, so make sure you plan your route accordingly and include enough GPS markers to go around obstacles or impassable terrain.
  
• Make sure that the only GPS markers on the route that go over large grid blocks are places where you want the vehicle to dock (unless you don't mind it waiting there, attempting to dock for a while).
  
• To change the length of time the vehicle is docked for, simply adjust the count down on the timer labelled " Bsn TB Docked timer"
  
• The "dock" should be set up as in the screenshots, with a connector in the floor surrounded by blast door blocks. When setting up the route, take the GPS with the connectors lined up. when in autopilot, the vehicle will turn on the handbrake at that point to stop, drop its suspension and attempt to lock the connectors.
