[Suggested Content]Taxi Missile

[dmodoomsirius]

A Missile to be used as a taxi. Suggested by Snow

Rocket should be able to hold a player inside in about the same way as galacticraft.

I believe missiles were able to be ridden in 1.6 if memory serves me well...

Yep though someone requested a missile just for travel. I suggest it work just like old cartoon space rockets. In which it lands so it can take off again.

As well this means we need to code in fuel usage

[kara2810]

How should they be fuelled? I can think of a couple of ways.

[DarkGuardsman]

Most likely a simple GUI in which we use some kind of fuel item. I would say for ICBM by itself we just use charcoal. However, when installed with a few different mods that offer liquid fuel we should use that. As well i'm thinking about implementing a fueling block for the launcher. This way i can force an extra setup cost for making missile silos.

I was thinking something along the lines of a fuelling block myself

[DarkGuardsman]

Trick though is we need to make it look nice and link up to the missiles. No need to end up with a normal block with texture fittings. I'm thinking we should have it rendered a pump and nasa fuel hoses.

[kara2810]

Looks pretty cool imo

[DarkGuardsman]

I think with the new launcher rig i have in mind we can render the hoses inside the back frame. Maybe even the pump itself using it more as an upgrade to the frame.

[kara2810]

That sounds like something fairly balanced. How about temporarily making it so that the higher tier of frame the more fuel that can be pumped in for greater range?

[DarkGuardsman]

I could, though i'm trying to slightly eliminate the tiering for the frame itself. Mainly since missile don't really need much of frame to be launched. Its only dead fire rockets that need launchers and those will not be added until way later. What i'm thinking of doing is a few upgrades for the frame itself. Say for example redstone control, coord setting, angle guessing, automated launch, etc.

Fair enough sounds like a good idea to me
