FIGHT IN STYLE . . . IN THE SKY
THE ROYAL FIGHTING SKYSHIP is a 29 prim linked vehicle which allows a pilot to fly it
while a gunner operates the linked forward gun in mouselook. The ship's gun can also be
operated by a solo pilot simply by clicking on the gun, choosing "pilot control" from the
drop down menu, and going into mouselook while still flying the craft. ANYONE CAN FLY THIS SHIP,
so be careful where you leave them out at. Arrow keys and Pg Up & Pg Down keys fly the skyship
while the mouse controls the gun. The ship can take a maximum of 3 people while in flight,
a navigator position next to the pilot offers a great vantage point for a third passenger,
however a sit pose at the captain's desk in the lower cabin is also available to use.
While in combat the ship fires realistic shells that arc to their target and explode.
As skyships take damage they first start smoking and creaking a bit, then begin to show flames
and groan louder, finally as the ship is fully aflame a single hit makes it explode into a cloud
of smouldering debris,
hurling all crew on board out into the sky. The skyship will reappear after a short while,
on the ground beneath where it was destroyed, ready to be mounted and flown back into combat.
Other features include a gang plank on the front that swivels down to let those on the ground
board the ship when it has landed, sails that shift forward or back, incredible sounds throughout,
and all poses except the gunner are fully animated.
One package of ROYAL FIGHTING SKYSHIPS includes 3 different ships each with its
own style of sail for easy indentification, and since they are all COPY/MODIFY
(EXCEPT SCRIPTS SOME OF WHICH ARE NO MOD) and allow anyone to fly them, you can
command an entire fleet and stage magnificent battles!
The ROYAL FIGHTING SKYSHIP is a collaboration between myself, Insky Jedburgh and
Brunswick Warbuton, the incredible particle effects, sounds and scripting of that
intrepid Orc, Brunswick, make this skyship both an extremely fun, and an incredibly
immersive combat experience. Any weapon shooting physical ammo can damage them.
Styled as a medieval or even steampunk type vessel, this ship looks great parked at castles
(especially I.J. Designs Castles), Victorian builds, Ancient ruins, modern post industrial sites,
and even as a luxury boat at yacht clubs, though I must warn you, this boat will hardly stay
in the water once you take the controls. Aye! She is a fighting skyship like no other!
FOR FLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS TOUCH THE BLACK STEERING COLUMN AND HOLD YOUR

GUN SIT IN GUNNER'S SEAT, PASSENGER MAY CLICK NAVIGATION PODIUM TO ASSUME
3RD POSTION.
Doesn't get much more fun that this. Would like to see adjustable damage for the ships; they seem to blow apart a little too quickly, especially in a multi-ship battle. But all in all, a great game. : )
