Description
The Capn's back!
================
Apologies to all my subscribers & followers for the deletion of my entire SE workshop a while ago.
You'll be glad to know I'm back in the saddle though, with a whole heap of quality new content for you.
I hope you enjoy it - and please be patient while I get it all published, as it's likely going to take a while.

Welcome to EMGC
===============
EMGC is the Enthusiastic Malleable Goods Condominium, a newly formed subsidiary of SAVTec Industries.
Named in honour of a certain Earth-based Software House, EMGC has but a single goal; to rebuild, rebalance & improve upon the ships of the KSH fleet, making them more practical, useful and fun in-game, while still retaining the original KSH style.

EMGC will eventually comprise 3 ranges of ships; the Respawn & Cargo ships, the Easy Start ships and the Campaign ships.

EMGC / SAVTec Build Mantra
==========================
100% vanilla
Survival, Exploration, Projector and 1st person friendly
Thruster Damage safe
No Scripts, Pistons or Rotors unless otherwise stated
Total ship-wide conveyor integration - always!

Where possible, all EMGC & SAVTec ships feature...
-Standardised air-tight docking rings with cargo transfer
-Pre-configured Button Panels & command station / cockpit hotbars
-Clean control panel with all items named, grouped & hidden where appropriate.
-All control panel items prefixed with the name of the ship for easy identification.
-Cameras forward & aft, docking cameras port & starboard, additional cameras as required.

The KR-S Advanced Survival Pod
==============================
Otherwise known as Respawn Ship 3 by the game, the KR-S returns the design to its original shape, minus the big bulge on the front. This is how the ship used to look when it was first added to the game & I felt it was a much sleeker, nicer shape.

The KR-S however has been given some significant upgrades.
I've basically shoehorned in as much as I could, which is to say almost everything (there was just no room for a med bay. Sorry!)
Apart from the armour slopes that make up the sides of the ship, only 1 other block is an armour block. The rest is all business!

The ships basic function is the same as ever but now it does even more.
If the Respawn Ship 3 is a more compact version of Old Yellow then the KR-S is a more compact version of my K-1 Advanced Rescue Vessel.

Owing to its flat shape, the KR-S can also be used as an emergency escape vehicle for larger ships. perhaps even carried internally in a kind of "cassette slot" or dedicated hangar. This concept may make an appearance in some of my future builds.

She features...
===========
-Small Reactor
-Battery (charge indicator visible from the exterior)
-Antenna
-Remote Control
-Cameras fore & aft
-O2/H2 Generator
-Oxygen Tank (capacity indicator visible from the exterior)
-Cryo Chamber (so you can use it in MP / Servers)
-3/4 upgraded Refinery
-3/4 upgraded Assembler
-Arc Furnace
-Small Cargo Container
-Solar Panel
-Connector

For looks I've clad the KR-S in catwalk panels, though if you want direct access to the various cargo ports, the panels can safely be removed without compromising the ships integrity.

Original shape?
============
If you've been playing SE for a while and haven't already noticed, the shapes of the Respawn Ship 2 & 3 as found in the game have at some point been changed (See last 2 screenshots)

The KR-S is based on the old shape, which I think looks much better. I have no plans to do a version based on the new shape but will consider it if it's requested.

Feedback
========
Comments / questions / suggestions / constructive criticism all very welcome.
I've even been known to do the odd request-build from time to time, so if you have an idea, drop me a line. If I like it I may build it.

You took a crappy ship and made it good! Keep up the good work!
