The Bellos Space Cruiser, is like previous spaceships, an exploration ship, but with weapons. This makes it my fifth spaceship.
But the most important thing, as always, is what the ship can do:
The engines:
The Space Cruiser is actually a very small spaceship, almost my smallest, but based on previous experience, it has four small VTOL thrusters, and that's it. These four are still too overpowered, so I'll try to adjust them a bit, but they can be controlled using different modes, which are:
- Normal mode: you operate a throttle and the VTOL thrusters move.
- "Hover" mode: this works well and reduces speed and sets the thrusters so they point downwards.
- "Align" mode: this isn't fully developed yet, but it works... reasonably well. I plan to improve this.
These are the 3 modes.
The Weapons:
Well, Stormworks probably didn't consider that some people build spaceships with weapons, but it works and can be used. If you had a mod or friends with them you could have a space battle.The Space Cruiser would be more of a conservative option, as the ship has two light autocannons and isn't particularly maneuverable.
Fuel problem, solved now?:
Short answer: Yes, this ship is the best one with the fuel in terms of size. The spaceship doesn't have tanks, but rather "rooms" containing the fuel, and these "rooms" make up about half the ship. This wasn't a problem in the Ship planning, since the Space Cruiser was supposed to explore other planets with the help of a mothership-at least, that was the original purpose of the ship.
Measuring Instruments:
The purpose of the ship is to explore other planets, so in addition to the standard values, there are now also values such as radiation and temperature, both inside and outside.
Spawning and Entering the Ship
Spawn the spaceship at any spawn point.
Then press key 8 (freefly mode) to access the pilot's seat, or go to the rear of the spaceship and press the button. There's a single button on the outside, so it should be easy to find.
After the door is fully open, it's a good idea to sit in the pilot's seat. To do this, simply go down the corridor to the central seat.
Controls
While sitting in the pilot's seat, look up and hold the key labeled "Systems."
A panel should rise slightly, but this is only important for automatic VTOL control and for measurements such as speed and altitude.
The only important thing is The throttle is to your right and the key 1 on your keyboard. Press the key 1 and set the throttle to 1. The spaceship should either fly smoothly or glitch. If it glitches, respawn it or press the 4.key on your keyboard to retract the landing gear. If you have any problems with the controls, please post them in the comments.
History
After Bellos built the giant ship that ruled the galaxy, the idea of building small ships arose, but this quickly fell into disuse. After the "Starlfreighter," the idea of a small spaceship resurfaced, and now there's the Space Cruiser, a small but fairly long-range ship that's ideally equipped for exploration missions while also being prepared for combat.
Have fun flying
