A request for an STS-BL space shuttle.

[Indie134]

I just thought we should update the old shuttle. Here's how I would think it should work. You are in the shuttle with the SRB's and External tank attatched while facing directly up to the sky. You press the up button to go  up and you can steer the whole thing around but it would have to tilt slowly, when you pilot the rocket.You press the left mouse button to release the SRB's and External tank. They all go off at the same time. Then you have a free flight with the shuttle. The rockets would have to either just fall to the ground or just fade away. I think it would be cool to just have a spectator watch an external tank fall at an extremely high speed lol. I wouldn't really mind for the SRB's to fade though. If anyone doesn't know what an SRB or External tank is, the SRB's are the two side rockets SRB btw means Solida rocket boosters, and the External tank is the giant orange tank that has the shuttle and SRB's connected to it. I would also like the shuttle to look more like a shuttle and not like the other one where it had windows on the side. I call it the "BLASA STS-BL". BLASA would mean Block Land Aeronautics and Space Administration. Well I just thought it would be cool to update the shuttle. Here's an image.



Sorry about the large image. :/

I was going to post a topic in discussion but I decided to just write it here, The SRBS and External Tank will how no set key they will be bindable by player, I intend to add a key that will thrust shuttle faster then the average speed for tale off, Also adding sounds to the take off like a countdown and such. I am also going to add sounds, All keys will be bindable so player has the option as to which to use. Now for the more important detail I started the shuttle model, I have the Tank nearly finished.

That image isn't large, do you run at 640x480? I mean, DAMN, what CENTURY do you LIVE IN?

That would have to be as big as GSF's Carrier.

Not really it could be the same size as the original shuttle the only difference and would make it slightly bigger would be the Fuel Tank, Other then that it would not have to be that big.

sounds like a good vehicle... i have been building a space center on the pluto map, and i would need a space shuttle to get back to earth.

I never thought about docking, If I only I had the kno how I could create a special dock brick and then a bindable key to connect the two, The ?Shuttle and the brick I mean.

We do have shuttle (by packer), but it would be more fun it there were stages where the 1st and 2nd stage are existant and able to detach.

Well we do have one, But this will be more for realism, Indie and myself enjoy space, The one made is good for fun times but not to simulate within Blockland The elements of Space, Well atleast the tranportation part lol. It will not be staged but bindable meaning you control the stages. Have fun folks.

Nice :D. I can't wait to see this come into action :D. Lol make the smoke a too hee hee. :D. Also for some more info there's these OMS burners that can navigate the ship in space. I think it would be good to have some in the front, back, and sides. Binding these to the numpad. Just an idea, lol. :D

[(USAF)Airman]

Lol well this is already something Blockland is yet to be seen, Now you want me to try and add the OMS burners? Lol, Cant do numpads for most people thats the keys for Moving bricks around, And as I said sir all the keys will be bindable by the player himself/herself so itd be their choice on the keys, I finished the Fuel Tank but it did not save for some reason so now Im dreading starting over :)  But will do it.


Edit: Would you like it to have fuel as well? Wish I could make a script add on to refuel it lol You could make an ISS then onVehicletouch> Vehicle> AddFuel, I can make it have fuel I believe just dont know about refueling, Then again youd only need fuel to get up there and then you know how they land so I wont explain that here.

[(USAF)Airman]

We are lossing it people. We must bump this, It can and will be done.

[Indie134]

Yeah I think the fuel thing would be cool. It's also good for the OMS burners. It'll teach people to be a better pilot. :D

[(USAF)Airman]

Right

Noone?
