HU-43i Angler Courier Ship (Deluxe Version)

Description
NEW UPDATE: New looping pressure script and redesigned docking port.

The Angler is a Jump-capable ship, geared toward early survival games. It uses a system of both hydrogen and atmospheric thrusters to traverse a multitude of environments. It's narrow cross section makes it perfect for landing in cramped places.

NOTE: This blueprint makes use of textures from Space Engineers Deluxe and the Economy Deluxe DLC's. The Vanilla Repaint is available at the following link:

Operational notes:
------------------------------
"The Angler's shining attributes are its narrow profile and economic
construction. At only 12.5 meters wide, the Angler is capable of landing
on pads designed for much smaller craft. The ship is ideal for any
prospective traders looking to get off world on a budget.

"The ship has an unfortunate reputation for it's low brake thrust.
The Type-E doubled both the atmospheric and hydrogen brake
thrusters from previous models, but it still doesn't stop on a dime.
Many veteran pilots have observed that in atmosphere, pitching the nose
up helps to augment the forward brake thrust with the lift thrust.

"In orbit the ship can also brake much faster when it flips around and
uses its main thrusters, much like a classic rocket. A tail camera is
provided to assist in such maneuvers.

"To conserve fuel, the ship's hydrogen thrusters can be toggled off while
cruising in atmosphere. It is important to note that without the hydrogen
thrusters, the ship's handling can be dangerously sluggish. Pilots are
advised to fly conservatively when flying without the ship's H2 system."

@turrhita - Just uploaded my local version where the landing gear works. Thank you for the heads up! :)

Minor issue regarding some functions, landing gear button just blinks and does nothing

@NotTildaSwinton Glad you like it! :Khappy: Out of all the ships I've designed in this game the Angler has become *My Ship*.

hey! I subscribed to this back in 2019 and use it consistently, and I'm really glad to see you're still updating it semi-regularly!

@SJ_Omega Thanks for the info, Forgot about this completely Thanks!

Hmm....yeah, that might be something I haven't run into in Survival, because I usually try to cruise on batteries in Atmo, and then only turn the engines on when my batteries are low. I have run into the situation a couple of times where my Hydrogen thursters weren't firing, because I forgot I'd left the tanks on stockpile.

Thank you for the feedback.

*edit* The Hydrogen Engines interfere with the Hydrogen thrusters if they're on Stockpile. Dunno why they were on that setting, but once it was turned off, they started behaving with the generators on

*update* Found the interference...the "Engines AGL" grouping in the toolbars (2, 3) are interrupting the Hydrogen thrusters when "On"

Ok, after a little testing, it's not just after disconnecting from a platform. Something is interfering with the Hydrogen thrusters, even after reloading. It shows them on, but not really firing/thrusting, even in space. I've flashed them on and off, also flashing inertial dampeners...the large thrusters on the back will get a long trail for a second then go back to idle animation, and almost zero thrust in any direction.
