The Sky Chaser

The C-32 Mercury Patten Passenger Transport was developed by the Vulcan Corporation as the vanguard of heavier than air flight, believing that such a vessel would bring a new age of luxurious air travel, leaving conventional Zeppelins in the dust. The first models were purchased by Strato Courier Passenger Services with the first ship in the fleet being crimsoned as the Sky Chaser. The ship provided excellent speed while also offering luxurious accommodations for its passengers, but it's complex engineering and unorthodox fuel requirements have made many engineers question if heavier than air flight is the future or just a passing fad.

While this ship was primary designed for ascetics, it is fully flyable and can be theoretically used in a survival, roleplay or civilizations worlds. However, it is quite the fuel hog, and it also has a habit of tanking your FPS if you run all engines at full.

Setup:

The ship's Physics assembler is located in the engine room which is located near the entrance ladder. When printing in Creative Mode, no not rotate the model. The ship will initially be restring on red wool blocks, do not destroy these until you have tested the landing gear. The ship takes two types of fuel, any of the diesel products introduced in the Create Diesel Generators mod and Coral from the Create Propulsion: Simulated mod. These fuels have their own designated Hose Connectors with the Diesel Connectors being located at the front of the nacelles and the Coral Connectors being located at the back. In order to properly fuel and pilot the ship, the ships diesel engines must be started, a clipboard in the engine room provides instructions on how to start the engines and begin circulating Coral to the ship's ion engines. Once the Coral is circulating through the ship, wait for all of the ion engines to become fully charged, this may take some time. With the ship's diesel engines working, be sure the test the landing gear and make sure everything is in sync. The frond landing leg should fold backwards, and the side landing legs should fold outwards. There are hatches near each landing leg to accesses the components as well as a button to individually test the landing legs. Once the landing gear is in sync. the red wool supports can be removed. Before flight make sure all ion engines are fully charged one last time.

The ship also needs three Hollow Cassetts for it flights cameras. The larger television in the front of the cockpit is supposed to be linked to the viewfinder on the front and smaller televisions are linked to the viewfinder located on the bottom, in front of the landing leg. Make sure the viewfinder on the bottom is pointed down at around 45% in order to view both the ground and the landing gear.
