Mobile Suit Gundam 00 GNR-010 0 Raiser

This is the GNR-010 from the anime Mobile Suit Gundam 00, or as it's more commonly known, the 0-Raiser or 0 Raiser (pronounced "Oh-Rizer").

It's a space fighter craft that's designed to support the GN-0000 Gundam 00, and dock with it to increase its performance and synchronize its Twin GN Drive System.

Unfortunately you can't really successfully build mobile suits in Space Engineers (I know; I've tried) and so I instead took the 0 Raiser and modified it into an air/space fighter. If flown properly, it can take off from a planet (theoretically any planet, as I built it and took it off from a high-G Alien world with a gravity strength of 1.10 G's).

Takeoff procedure is as follows:

1: get into the air by hovering vertically.
2: set ALL thrust groups (available in the menu bar) to maximum thrust override
3: aim your craft skyward at about an 80 degree angle.
4: keep ascending; your speed will drop off some (mine once went as low as 40 m/s) but do not let your angle of attack drop below 70 degrees.
5: keep climbing until you reach the top of the atmosphere. Your speed should start to pick back up.
6: you should be able to make it into space from here. Once outside the planet's atmosphere, disable the thrust override on the atmospheric engines. You should now be in space.

Also, as I did say earlier, I had to modify the 0 Raiser's design a bit to get it functional.

For one, I do know that the orange glass-coated area on the nose of the craft is NOT in fact the cockpit but actually is a sensor relay that streams live combat video to the actual cockpit, which is located in the craft's center. I couldn't really build that efficiently and have room for all the convayors and reactors, so I had to use the fighter cockpit instead.
