Hiigaran Pulsar Gunship

Introduction:

A small grid Corvette-type vessel designed for destroying enemy Corvette formations, Frigates and even smaller Capital-class vessels larger than itself, thanks largely to its superior manoeuvrability and powerful weaponry.

Specification:

6179 Blocks
526,000KG
50 Blocks long

Features:

Ion and Hydrogen thrusters for superior acceleration
Remotely controlled Turret-mounted Gatling Cannon
Concealed cockpit for greater durability- accessed via a small opening near the front of the ship, on top.
Survival Kit for healing, replenishing health and consumables, and respawning.
Fully Survival ready with o2, cargo, reactors, batteries and cockpit etc.

Summary:

Years-back I originally built the Pulsar Mech Gunship because I thought it looked a lot meaner than the standard Pulsar Gunship;
in hindsight I should have stayed true to the ships in the Vanilla version of HW2. Anyway, now I have made amends and created
something that is actually pretty beasty in its own right thanks to the frigate-sized turret bolted to the Corvette space-frame.
There is a caveat however- the 'turret' is a vanilla creation that uses two rotors and is controlled via a Remote Control block, I haven't bothered to set it up to use Whiplashes rotor-turret script since... reasons. Feel free to do so yourself however if you choose to Subscribe to this item- it's not that difficult, I'm just lazy and more concerned with making my replica ships look the part and function well without extra faffing about.

Ideally you would have a Pilot and Co-Pilot/Gunner in order to coordinate flying and shooting, though you can easily set a course and speed,
turn off Inertia Dampers and then remote-control the turret in order to fly & fight at the same time without having to point the ship at targets directly.

Turret Controls:

1) Select Remote control block
2) Select Camera Block
3) Select Gatling Cannon
4) Unlock Rotors
5) You now have horizontal & vertical control of the turret, point and left-click mouse to shoot at targets.
5a) You can fire the Gatling cannon in a fixed position without unlocking or remote controlling it if desired.
