WMI Cascade-Class Destroyer Mk 3 Mod 6 [Jump Capable]

(Ardentrall Aerospace Manufacturing & Whiplash Military Industries)

---Vanilla, jump capable, rotor/piston free, and stocked for survival!---

Howdy!

This is an extensive redesign of Dwarf-Lord Pangolin's Cascade Destroyer. Be sure to check it out!

[BREAKING NEWS]: Due to a recent breakthrough in warp field technology, WMI is now able to equip all Cascades with a portable, fully-charged Jump Drive! The Cascade boasts a maximum warp range of 848.11 kilometers (wow!) with additional power systems installed to offset the power draw of the drive. The Cascade's Jump Drive comes calibrated for 5 km linear jumps; this can be easily adjusted in the ship terminal (Search: "Jump Drive - Cascade")!

With the emergence and proliferation of gravity based weaponry, the demand for a compact and agile torpedo delivery system had hit an all time high. In response, the engineers of Whiplash Military Industries got to work refurbishing the venerable Cascade chassis. The result of their hard work is embodied in the Cascade Mod 6.

The Mod 6 is different from her predecessor in many ways. For one, those familiar with the Cascade platform will notice the odd shape of the nose portion of the vessel. This is because the Mod 6 boasts a compact gravity cannon located in the fore section. The gravity cannon fires shield piercing kinetic torpedoes designed specifically for the Cascade (Torpedo designation: PX-C). She is fully stocked with ammo for her projector-based main gun carrying 33 rounds in dedicated magazines plus one in the chamber for a total of 34 shots! The gun is capable of of being loaded and fired very quickly thanks to her one button fire system(see "Survival Timer Settings" to adapt the fire system for survival modes).

Among other improvements, one of the more noticeable changes is the inclusion of a fully functional oxygen system. Also, the main bridge has been redesigned to resemble that of a Caspian Frigate. Pilots of the old Cascades complained endlessly about the restricted vision of the bridge; they shall complain no more!* Also the reverse thrust capability of the Cascade has been vastly improved via the addition of two large thrusters mounted on the sides.

As a part of the new safety directive** issued by WMI's top brass, all doors on this vessel are color coded to avoid confusion! Refer to the "Door Color Code" of this manual for color meanings. The color codes in addition to the WMI Airlock and Door management script contribute to making this one of our safest vessels to date!

Please refer to the instruction panels stationed around the ship to find your way around the ship. WMI hopes you enjoy your purchase!

*Our lawyers advise us not to elaborate on this.
**This safety directive is in no way related to the recent string of lawsuits filed against WMI for "unsafe" airlocks.

You will need to change the reload time based upon what game mode you are playing. To modify the firing system change the execution time of Timer 4 - Reset to the following:

• Welder "Realistic" ------------ 6 Seconds
  
• Welder "x2" -------------------- 3 Seconds
  
• Welder "x5" -------------------- 2 Seconds
  
• Welder in Creative Mode --- 2 Seconds

• Do not enter combat from the flight bridge!
  
• When firing the main gun, listen for the firing klaxon; when it turns off, the main gun is ready to fire again!
  
• Firing while turning quickly is not recommended. Dont try it... bad things happen to good people
  
• Try to ignore the on screen crosshair when aiming with the targeting cameras as this is not a good measure of the impact point. Instead, the torpedoes will impact very close to the true center of your screen. Fire a few rounds to get used to how it fires :)
  
• Fire while stationary for best accuracy. Attempting to fire the main gun at high speeds can cause some very unfortunate things to happen.
