Description
A - WARP - capable SV out of normal steel to get to places so you can farm your higher tier materials in group.
Good for a party of 3 maximum. Rather larger amount of cargo space divided in 4 cargo boxes of wich 2 act as the in and output for the constructor, accessed inside. The other 2 are accessed in the wings (see pic).
The level requirement is lvl 12 and with good manouverability no issue.
I've placed in a top hatch for the personal drone, just jump first and F5 right after (see pic).
It isn't super large, yet has just the nessecary amount of features and you can bring couple of friends along. (1 pilot +2)
Able to defend itself when needed, just remember it's normal steel. Sustained damage is not advisable.
Good hopper for mid-game purposes.

Contains:

- 4 gatling guns
- 2 rocketlauncher
- 3 seats
- O2 containers + dispencer
- 1 constructor
- 4 cargo boxes (see description) 2 x 4000 and 2 x 5000 volume
- 2 ammo containers 2 x 1250 volume
- 1 detector
- 2 fridges
- 2 armor lockers
- warp module

Unfortunately no cpu points left for a shield (T3), it is rather expensive.

Remastered june 18, 2020.

A12.x ready ( for volume-weights )

Have fun with it ;)

took out a couple mid level POI's also took out a bunch of CV's in space, ended up removing the 4x gattling guns and replacing with 4x rockets then it was just a cake walk. Perferomed perfectly fine with hardened steel.

@Soda : good to hear its bin helpfull :)
The purpose of this ship was build to merely hop back and forth for them higher mats.
With those the presumption is to get your first CV out that can harbor attack SV's and further progress of the game, jumping further distances. Kinda figured the hopper would loose its main purpose eventually.
But hey, everybody has their own style, right. How does it perform with hardened steel btw ?
Reverse engineering a ship is always a good way learning things.
If you're looking for some attack SV's , check the Legacy tab.

IF SODA LIKES IT, I LIKE IT.

Tried this ship as my "starter" ship after making my tiny get around ship. Actually had a seed to take advantage of the 15 AU distance. This ship performed wonderfully excellent fuel consumption and beautiful design. I like it so much I ended upgrading the entire ship to hardeneed steel and using it for assaulting some POI's hardest part was repairing the wonderful details of all the corner blocks and getting them just right back in the propper location.

Not for me, i prefer to keep consumption in full throttle in multiple angles at once below 25%. Anything above that is a fuel hog, in my opinion.

Why so many generators for a SV? 8 seems to be overkill doesn't it?

@Bob-o-matic : White whale ey , hmmmm ... hope yr real name isn't Captain Ahab then, hahahah ;)

I made a few minor upgrades. Removed one armor locker & added vent. to include O2 in back cabin. Added Std. Rocket launchers (2) Upgraded to armored windows and hardened forward area around cockpit & landing skids. And painted it white (not including interior). I call it the White Whale. Thanks for all your hard work.

Cheers guys ^^ , was thinking of making another in hardened steel but it seems rather obsolete as you won't be able to use it beyond the first planets. After that its CV only distancewise.
