The USCSS Prometheus was a Heliades-class space exploration vehicle built and operated by Weyland Corp. It was a revolutionary starship, and at the time of its launch was the most advanced and expensive faster-than-light space exploration vehicle ever constructed. It was billed as an official United States Commercial Starship in 2091.

It has been a major task for me to not only re-create this design with moving engines, but to balance it with it's changing center of mass to act as normal as possible in the games atmosphere.

Before taking this for a flight it's important that you understand the controls listed below to get the best experience:


Throttle up to 60% or more to take off. To control in hover mode use the following:

- Yaw (to direct the nose; yaw right will point the nose left and vise versa. There is a slight side effect of roll with this)
- Roll (controls the horizontal tilt by operating RCNs on the left and right sides of the ship)
- Pitch (controls forward and backwards lean)
- VTOL slider (tilts the engines and can be used to move forward or backwards if used in moderation)

To sustain normal flight throttle up to 100% and put the VTOL all the way down once acheiving your prefered height, but ideally while the ship is still level:

- Pitch (up on the on the control initially to counter the change in CoM but then the ship will level out after getting to 200mph+)
- Yaw (is now effectively roll. You will need to use this often to keep the ship level as the drag points are not symettrical)

To land (which I have not done to date because of frame rate issues on my phone) you will need to first slow the ship down then gradually lose altitude while keeping level. Slow down very gradually by sliding the VTOL back to center a little bit at a time. The ship will tip forward because of the increased drag of the engines so there are airbrakes connected to the downwards pitch control on the top of the ship to counter this. Used equally the ship should slow down while staying level.

As always have fun!
