Unreal Engine 5 Spaceship — 6DOF Flight, Vectoring Engines & Landing Gear | Starship V1.2
Starship V1.2 for Unreal Engine 5. A complete 6DOF spacecraft you fly, hover, land, and pilot on foot, in atmosphere or deep space, single-player or multiplayer. This update adds a fast zero-g space cruise, thrust-vectoring engines that physically swivel, and telescoping landing gear that deploys itself.

🛠️ NEW IN V1.2
────────────────────────────────────────
✔ Space-Flight cruise — bring the engines online in space for a fast zero-g throttle-cruise: push to accelerate, release to hold speed, steering carries the velocity with the nose
✔ Thrust-vectoring engines — nozzles physically swivel to lean into turns, tilt against gravity for a VTOL hover, and cant for roll, with optional differential power for strafe and brake
✔ Telescoping landing gear — a drop-in strut component that builds itself, deploys on landing, retracts on take-off, and traces the floor per strut so legs settle on uneven ground
✔ Water and steep-slope anchoring — land over deep water or ground too steep for the gear and the ship holds an anchored hover instead of tipping
✔ Approach auto-brake — the ship probes ahead and sheds speed on its own, arriving at atmospheric speed from cruise

🚀 CORE FEATURES
────────────────────────────────────────
✔ 6DOF anti-gravity flight — gravity only sets which way is up, release the controls and it holds altitude
✔ Six-state flight model: Landed, Hovering, Floating, Flying, SpaceFlight, Anchored
✔ On-foot pilot and passenger boarding with door interaction
✔ Network-replicated, client-authoritative flight — no changes to your character or player controller
✔ Reusable engine and landing-gear components, mesh-agnostic
✔ Full C++ source with Blueprint API
✔ UE 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 supported
