Long Shot, an UMmu compatible interplanetary ship
by Hispa.
Version 0.0.3 - Jun 09, 2010
Hi! Welcome to Long Shot. The purpose of this ship is to transport large
amounts of cargo or other ships and stations between planets. Now, with the
new UMmu compatible module, we can accomodate up to 50 crew members
and passengers inside the ship and transfer them from one ship to other.
KEY MAPPING
--UMmu key mapping:
⢠"1"-"2" : Select crew member to transfer/EVA.
⢠"A" : Open/Close airlock.
⢠"E" : EVA/Transfer.
⢠"S" : UMmu status information
⢠SHIFT+NUMPAD "+"or"-": Select active docking port to transfer/EVA.
--LongShot class key mapping:
⢠CTRL+1 : Changes RCS mode (full thrust/low thrust).
...and, of course, the rest of normal flight controls in any ship.
CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS
v.0.0.3
⢠The new LongShot 0.0.3 version allow to load the ship with lots of
UCGO cargos, thanks to the XR5 UCGO Cargo Platforms and the
Universal Cargo Deck. I changed the mesh to add a cargo section just
over the ship fuel tanks.
v.0.0.2
⢠If you tested the previous v0.0.1 version, sure you have seen that RCS
thrusters are really overpowered, so I limited the use of the rotation
thrusters to 0.05rad/s for x and y axis and to 0.15rad/s for z axis.
⢠Selectable RCS max thrust: With "CTRL+1", you can change between
maximum and minimum RCS mode to maneuver Long Shot in a easier
way when not docked/loaded with other ships.
⢠Changed the main engines exhaust to other for eyecandy purposes.
⢠Now the select active docking port keys also provides the name of the
ship docked to te active port if any to help transferring crew from one
ship to other.
⢠Added a transponder, with default value or selectable by scenario. It's
useful to docking maneuvers for other ships.
