Nexus Class CVE Carrier (Mod Optional)

----------------------------------------------
UPDATE FEB 10th @1:04pm EST
----------------------------------------------

The cargo ship has been refined and finalized. New slopes and colors as well as an additional O2/H2 generator to maximize H2 production to keep up with the heavy lifting on a planet. The max safe payload to get into space is 120,000 kg of cargo. I tested it and it can basically lift another one of itself into space from Earth. Also, the top turret was removed in favor of another solar panel. Weight of the ship is back at 119,000-ish kg. This means that the 6,000 kg weight loss was added back in as more capabilities such as the extra O2/H2 generator and solar panel.

----------------------------------------------
UPDATE FEB 9th @12:35pm EST
----------------------------------------------

The Heavy Cargo Lift ship now is 6,000 kg lighter and can operate in space longer thanks to the newly added ion thrusters.

----------------------------------------------
UPDATE FEB 8th @10:10pm EST
----------------------------------------------

The Heavy Cargo Lift ship is now done and included with the USSF Nexus, the Fighters, and the Space Tug. This ship will allow the Nexus to park above a planet and take cargo to and from a base in a gravity environment.

As always, have fun with the ship!

I will be adding a new ship for the cargo area on the rear loading platform. It will be able to take cargo to and from the Nexus to a planet. Has 2 large cargo containers and lots of thrust power.

----------------------------------------------
UPDATE FEB 6th @1:38pm EST
----------------------------------------------

My ship now includes the Fighters that I designed for it in addition to the "Space Tug" utility ship.

----------------------------------------------

This is my first completed large ship design.

Optional Mod to Enhance the Ship's Abilities:
- Nanite Control Factory (The ship will function without the mod)

About the Ship Design:

The USSF Nexus is a Light Escort Carrier that can defend itself but usually is protected by more capable vessels. Typically, a Nexus Class Carrier will bring supporting fighters to the battle (Up to 35 fighters per carrier when fully loaded).

CVE stands for Carrier Vessel Escort. Which means the USSF Nexus is usually supported by other larger/more capable ships.

This ship is 54 x 33 x 21 (L x W x H) blocks and is survival ready. Because of the design, this ship won't lag on servers as much as larger ships. Which makes it fun to use. It is also VERY maneuverable!!! The only time it lags is when you have more than 5 smaller craft connected to the connectors or you're using the nanite factory (optional mod).

Features:

- Can carry 20 of my fighter design in the hangar when stacked.
- Can carry 15 of my fighter design on the flight deck.
- Loading area on back of ship for a small cargo ship.
- Grinder and welding area on the rear of the flight deck for building / repairing / destroying fighters as they are needed (Controls for them are in the rear of the bridge in the middle).
- 2 parking spots in front of the island for the "Space Tug" I designed for this ship. (More on that later)
- Ship map on every floor.
- Lights on every floor with a button for turning them on and off.
- Hangar doors that when open/closed play an alarm and flash warning lights.
- Air vents on every floor. Entire ship is airtight for those that want airtightness.
- Fully equiped with assembler and refinery.
- 12 Cryo Pods for the crew
- 4 Small cargo containers next to cryos for crew supplies
- 3 Large cargo containers for everything else
- 1 Hydrogen tank
- 10 Oxygen tanks
- 4 Large reactors
- 16 Jump drives (can jump around 4,000 km)
- Multiple backup batteries (can't drive the ship but can run equipment)
- Very compact docking system on each side of the ship with a merge block and connector.
- Multiple cameras all around for monitoring activities.

Weapons:

- 6 forward facing rocket pods
- 2 Missile Turrets
- 2 Gat Turrets
- Lots of interior turrets
- 20 Fighters not including loading 15 on the flight deck. (With flight deck total is 35 fighters)
- Decoy / Warhead deployment device on the bottom of the ship (use to escape from enemies, this is a defensive device)
