Blue Planet Tech Description (UEFr Demeter)
The Demeter is a heavy duty cargo hauler of civilian design. Used by civilians and military alike, this rugged design has proved itself over last 19 years. While the Demeter is better known for its impressive cargo capacity, it is also well equipped for transporting personnel.
Developer Notes
The Albanus was designed to transport cargo in atmosphere, and so the side pods need to be able to aim downwards. They currently default to facing backwards, but can be rotated to face downwards for atmospheric missions using a simple script-eval sexp, with the following data:
trigger_anim('Ship Name')
Ship Name is case sensitive and the apostrophe's _are_ required. It takes a few seconds to rotate the engines, so start your mission facing away from these ships, or just edit the table file to adjust how fast the submodels rotate. At the present state of SCP development (3.6.14 RC2), there are no visible thruster glowpoints on these pods - this is because the patch to add the capability for rotating thrusterpoints was written after the 3.6.14 fork, although it is currently in trunk. In other words, wait a few months, and the ship should be fully functional.
