Millennium Falcon (HS)

This is the hardened steel version of my Millennium Falcon. The entire outer hull has been fully upgraded. Flight performance hasn't been affected much. That said, to pull that off I had to add a lot more thrusters, generators, and RCS units. This version also costs 43% more to construct.

The original "lite" version is still here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=926519792

If this (HS) version doesn't crash the servers, I plan to upgrade the original a bit so it will become 25% more maneuverable, yet (relatively) cheap to build.

Pick your poison and let me know what you think in the comments.

Key Features:

* Scale = 1:1 * This is an EXTREMELY detailed ship. It took almost 100 hours to build from scratch working with just pictures and drawings. * The ship is very tubular in nature on the inside. * The layout is technically correct with all the major rooms in the proper locations. * The main hold (with the chess board) is modeled very closely to the one in the movies. * This ship includes a big custom radar dish on top. * The boarding ramp can be lowered and raised. * It has a very small working ceiling hatch and tube on the port side. * It allows quad-laser top and bottom seat access. * Seven secret compartments are under the floorboards. Two of them can hold fellow passengers. * The cockpit has four seats like in the movies. * The ship also contains three cargo Holds, a freight loading room, an engineering bay, two engineering stations, a circuitry bay, crew quarters, and an airlock. * The engineering bay contains the modified hyperdrive.

Notes (please read to save yourself a few headaches):

If you can't access a tight portion of the ship (like the forward hold) while landed it is because the ship isn't very level. You need to level the ship better. The ceiling hatch is also a bit finicky. The space in and out is only one block wide. Just keep trying. With practice you can enter and exit from it pretty easily. It's usually a two hop process to get out. To re-close it's four shutter doors, just turn the ship off and then back on.

You cannot enter or exit through the freight loading doors on the front. It is too small.

For turning the ship fast I recommend using the arrow keys on your keyboard. There are already over 200 RCS units installed. I personally think that is plenty!

The five secret cargo compartments can be accessed by using the control panel. They can be found in the group titled "Secret Compartments". No need to rip up the floorboards if you don't want. I left one floorboard off so that you can easily access the two secret passenger compartments.

Two ammo boxes are right in front of the quad-laser access tube. There are only four lasers (not eight) on the ship. That is a limit placed by the Dev's.

Multiple oxygen tanks and stations are near the starboard and port docking rings.

Two constructors are on board. One is in the rear engineering station and the other is in the front freight loading room.

Two fridges are also on board. One is near the chess table and the other is in the crew quarters.

The ship has four docking jets and docking lights on the bottom. These have been grouped and can be disabled in the control panel. Two exterior forward facing lights are also grouped together.

The ships core can be found under a part of the hyperdrive in the engineering bay.

Lastly, if your landing gear gets shot off there is a trick to getting it back on. Two landing gears are stacked on top of each other (which isn't allowed normally). You need to place four steel blocks down where the first (top) landing gear goes. Then place the second landing gear under them. Then replace the blocks and with the first landing gear. Simple.
