Fly the SEAF squad Pelican yourself, ride inside it, and bring your squad along.
What it does
- Take control of the SEAF Pelican that brings your SEAF squad: press End while it is in the air near you (or switch on Take control automatically). It flies to you and hovers 30 m above you.
- Fly it: arrow keys forward / back and turn, Page Up / Page Down up and down.
- Get in: go prone and press Insert. The Pelican comes down on you from above, you end up in the compartment and are locked in place, and the camera follows the Pelican. Insert again unlocks you and gives your own camera back.
- Bring allies: they go prone, you tap Home for the nearest ally or hold Home to pick one from a ring (mouse or Left / Right, release to board, centre = cancel).
- Changed your mind? Tap Insert or Home again while it is still lining up.
- End hands the Pelican back to its own flight.
Requirements
- Bingus Shared Loader v15 or newer
- SEAF Drop by ivoryapples (on Ayaka: "S.E.A.F Call-In Stratagem Replacer") - Pelican Pilot flies the shuttle SEAF Drop calls in (get it from its own page, not included)
- Game build Steam 25480438 (on another build the mod switches itself off)
- Optional: Mod Options Menu for the in-game settings page (Esc - MODS - PELICAN PILOT)
Good to know
- Super Earth / Super City maps: SEAF shuttles do not drop there and ignore steering. Use other planets.
- Multiplayer: tested as a client in several lobbies. You can only fly a Pelican your own game controls; if another game is flying it, Pelican Pilot lets go within a few seconds and gives your camera back.
- Allies are not locked in, only carried by the floor. Fly gently with them aboard.
