OSPREY: Immersive - Survival - Vanilla

The Osprey isn't just a ship - she's the on board AI who manages your sub-systems and will communicate with you through sound blocks and LCD screens.

The Osprey is 100% vanilla, and free of pistons and rotors. She's built for survival/roleplay, and multiplayer on certain servers. She is designed to keep you out of the terminal, and in the world. She will warn you of environmental hazards, react to your presence in the cockpit, and keep the ship's ten programming blocks working in harmony.

The description limit is too small to cover all the features in this build, especially with the long list of credits to amazing content creators. Please click this link for controls and survival setup guide!

Please note that this design only works in worlds with air tightness enabled. Please also watch from 1:10 to 1:40 in the video embedded above for an important step that keeps the AI from crashing on a new world load.

Talon - Kinetic Gravity Torpedo
Beak - Stone Filled Gravity Torpedo



Here are a few highlights from the full list of features:


Monitor and control nearly every ship system from LCDs and hotkeys without ever entering the terminal.


Pre-configured with 5 ammo types (more to come). Make satellites, decoys, torpedoes, or a design of your own. Osprey will automatically use the correct launch method.


No need to put on a helmet or even move your legs. One button press and a gravity elevator will whisk you through automatic airlocks.


Re-configure or set drift correction at the touch of a key. Systems are carefully designed to avoid interfering with one another.



The Osprey can be built from scratch with a clear upgrade path in survival. She prefers to avoid conflict, but has claws for when diplomacy fails.

  Whiplash makes huge contributions to the community and is supportive to lesser known content creators. Even further props for making this Image to LCD Converter[forum.keenswh.com] tool, which I used to create all of the faction logos for this fleet. Thanks Whiplash141!

The build is vanilla, but here are some mods that helped in the design process:

• Weighted Cargo Cubes - THUNDERCOMPUTER
  Great for simulating survival conditions and finding center of gravity. Thanks THUNDERCOMPUTER!
  
• Paint Gun - realistic painting for suvival + special creative features - Digi
  A very effective workaround for the currently janky vanilla painting system. Thanks Digi!
  
• Disable Highlights - Eikester
  Another thing that should be a vanilla option. Thanks Eikester!

I sincerely hope you will give this build a shot in creative, or even better, build her in survival and let me know of any issues you encounter. There will be more ships, modules, and stations in the fleet, each fitted with modular docking points and built for a different role in your survival world. Thank you so much for visiting!
