Haven't used this shuttle in an age, with a lot of my old builds I will swap the seats out for the new ones,
trianglemaster 12 Aug, 2021 @ 9:11pm 
you can replace the passenger seat with a control seat if you get rid of the rotor under it
shadow trace  [author] 4 May, 2021 @ 1:25am 
you need to connect to the remote block "Pilots Remote "Froward" Reference" most of the pb's (programmable blocks are used for the LCD overwrites, there's a whips thrusters management script, hoz & automatic lcd 2 script as well, They probably all need updating but are working fine atm, I would replace the seat with a flight seat, as they weren't an option when I built this.

Where is this programmable block that controls the ship?
niglet707 10 Jan, 2021 @ 7:31am 
No dlc for this one thank god
shadow trace  [author] 6 Apr, 2020 @ 12:15pm

SonicDart 5 Apr, 2020 @ 2:42am

hm the Landinggear cant be aktivated? or missed i something? and i had to place a Cockpit manual,cause no Controll from the Fronseats.....
Bapy 6 May, 2019 @ 10:48pm 
i know why its called the rodeo
cause controlling the thruster pods is harder than bull riding with both hands tied behind your back while blindfolded:steamsalty:

RambunctiousHoe 16 Apr, 2019 @ 8:46am 
Very nice

@Engie Bird, So Sorry dude, I'm new to making videos with added sound effects, my new videos has that effect turned down by a good 80%,
Pan Man 11 Apr, 2019 @ 6:48am 
The intro of the video feels like a jumpscare when wearing headphones.

@PineCone227, Supergrid support is still available in-game you just have to tick the supergrid option within the advance world settings, I have decided to update this blue print to use passengers seats instead. hopefully one day we might get small grid flight seats as vanilla
shadow trace  [author] 8 Apr, 2019 @ 11:56am 
@Gamespud, Just did an update to the ship, and tested it in flight and there didn't seem to be any issue with it, are you using any mods ?
You well also need to update the BP due to the latest SE update this might also effect any mods you have.
Gamespud 8 Apr, 2019 @ 5:13am 
I can't get the thruster pods to work, I have scripts enabled, double checked and everything, but the thruster pods aren't working and the ship can't even support it's own weight on planet.
konstantynopolitaneczka 7 Apr, 2019 @ 5:18am 
Best transporter in the whole skybox! good work
Captain Salt 31 Mar, 2019 @ 9:04am 
That's some next level plays right there.
shadow trace  [author] 31 Mar, 2019 @ 5:52am 
@Captin Salt, if you want you can cut the flight seat out of the shuttle. Save it to your blue prints and then you can paste it on to any small grid you want. The method for doing this is called "Super Gridding" it's done by manipulating the blueprint file, Apparently there's a mod which can do it too. Search super Grids on the workshop, I haven't used it so I don't know how the mod works.
Captain Salt 30 Mar, 2019 @ 6:51pm 
How did you get the pilot seats into that small ship grid? The detail of this ship simply baffles me.
WardenWolf 27 Mar, 2019 @ 5:37pm 
Sweet shuttle, man! Nice work!
shadow trace  [author] 22 Mar, 2019 @ 4:46pm 
@Lightning_Gamer: thanks dude: give it a couple of weeks, and it should be done. Just the video to do now.
Lightning_Gamer 20 Mar, 2019 @ 6:03am 
@shadow trace I would love to see your shuttle, i really like this one compared to all the others cause its compact, detailed, and works. most of the time i look up shuttles there just hunks of metal with thruster's strapped on the move around space and i need one that is designed to both look somewhat nice and move cargo/people from planet to space.
shadow trace  [author] 19 Mar, 2019 @ 7:01am 
@Lighting_Gamer to refill the thrusters pods there's a block at front bottom, it's a different colour to the rest, grind that down and off you go.
The thruster override stuff is some thing to do with thruster management script , make sure both rotors on the pods have the safety lock & tensioner on. There are indicators on the middle dash, they should be green when in flight, they should only switch off when the pods rotate.
Don't forget to deploy the parachutes if you run out of ice in atmo. :).
this ship really inst the best for survival world, it does work but as you found out it's pain to refuel, My next ship is a long range hydro 2 seater, survival ready shuttle, it will have sub-grids but they are designed to be very simple to build unlike the lg on the rodeo,
Lightning_Gamer 18 Mar, 2019 @ 5:55pm 
sorry to keep spamming but i have also discovered that when on now the large thrusters overide keeps jumping all over hte place probably one of the reasons i cant take off

Lightning_Gamer 18 Mar, 2019 @ 5:42pm 
that also mean that if yo run out of ice midflight instead of it pulling from the ship your main thrusters are just gonna die
Lightning_Gamer 18 Mar, 2019 @ 5:39pm 
ive also noticed that there is no way to load ice into the pod generators
without destroying a block
shadow trace  [author] 18 Mar, 2019 @ 4:59pm 
@Lightning_Gamer: not sure dude, you will have to test it. Google (space engineers thruster calculator) that might help, I did try posting the link, but steam keeps removing it doh
Lightning_Gamer 18 Mar, 2019 @ 4:19pm 
whats the max weight for this? i want to convert into a transport/cargo shuttle
shadow trace  [author] 17 Mar, 2019 @ 11:42am 
no unfortunately it doesn't, :(
ZeeQuill 17 Mar, 2019 @ 11:01am 
projector doesn't add the landing gear or the thrusters on the rotors on the sides
Digital_Samurai 17 Mar, 2019 @ 6:36am 
Man I am a space cadet. Shadow Trace. Can you publish the other content items from your video? It's friggin awwesome.
Defi 15 Mar, 2019 @ 6:18am 
Good stuff, nice cinematic. keep going!
Dankenobi1 14 Mar, 2019 @ 9:52am 
tell Disney that everything they have done except renew clone wars was a failure and that they should throw K Kennedy in a hole. (force awakens is'nt bad, nor is rogue one, but force awakens was basically the original trilogy)
shadow trace  [author] 14 Mar, 2019 @ 4:54am 
@Plazmalord: lol Maybe, I have to finish up the Star War concepts first for the new film :)
Dankenobi1 12 Mar, 2019 @ 2:21pm 
we get it, youve got a ship XD
shadow trace  [author] 11 Mar, 2019 @ 9:25am 
@Harado.Taro my new shuttle the one landing near the end of the video has fixed thrusters, that should be finished soon :)
Harada.Taro 11 Mar, 2019 @ 7:35am 
Very nice design but i dislike the use of rotor for the rear side main thruster... they just bring in clang risk and nothing else having them fixed would be way better
Digital_Samurai 7 Mar, 2019 @ 3:13pm 
Dark, Can you publish your asteroid base builds? I really like them. Apologies if they are already.
DarkkSkyrow 4 Mar, 2019 @ 1:52pm 
@Shadow Trace: Awesome I had no ideal ALCD had that function. I'll definitely look deeper into that now. :D
shadow trace  [author] 1 Mar, 2019 @ 8:11am 
Updated the MMaster's Automatic LCD's script
_SD_ 24 Feb, 2019 @ 1:18pm 
Hey love it! Like to see smallblock builds, more details is what we want..:steamhappy:
shadow trace  [author] 24 Feb, 2019 @ 3:26am 
@DarkkSkyrow So glad you picked up on the changing status lights , No one else has, did see the landing gear and thruster position LCD change? never seen that before too.
The green and red status lights are very easy to do. It uses the PropBool function from Automatic LCD, hit the custom data tab on LCD, that's the bit you need. the LG and TP read outs use scripts to update the custom data on LCD, to get the images to update when the position of LG or TP change.
DarkkSkyrow 23 Feb, 2019 @ 7:42pm 
I want to know how did you get the LCD to show info using the MOONSPACE font and the image converter to make them change indication from red to green like that. very nice indeed
shadow trace  [author] 23 Feb, 2019 @ 12:47pm 
@mabeast0324: option 4 to lower , option 5 to raise, there's a control info lcd above the pilots head,
Coboter 23 Feb, 2019 @ 12:09pm 
very nice looking ship
Weis 23 Feb, 2019 @ 9:25am
