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!

NB The KR-E uses 1 piston for a connector gimbal. If the piston causes you problems it can easily be removed without compromising any other parts of the ship.

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-E0 and KR-E Advanced Exploration Vessels (1-man & 2-man variants)
============================================================
Based on the original Respawn Ship 2, the KR-E0 & KR-E have been rebranded as dedicated exploration scouts.
The KR-E0 variant can be found here...

Why two upgrades of the same ship?
============================
Well, if you look backwards in time you'll see that the shape of the original Respawn ship 2 has been changed. When or why this happened I don't know but while some will no doubt prefer the new shape, others will prefer the old one. Hence two remakes.

I've tried to balance the two with a simple tradeoff that should make both ships valuable in some way.

The KR-E0 crews 1 and has an assembler.
The KR-E crews 2 and does not have an assembler.
Both ships have Cryo for their designated number of crew.
Other than that they do everything else the same.

They're very basic ships but quite fast & manouverable - and most importantly fun to fly.
Both feature pressurised walk-through cockpits with large windows and direct external access to Reactor, Cargo Container and Oxygen Generator.

The KR-E also features a refuelling connector on a piston-gimbal. The KR-E0 does not.

Features
========
-Small Reactor (accessible directly from the exterior)
-Battery
-Oxygen Generator
-2x Cryo Chamber
-Small Cargo Container (accessible directly from the exterior)
-Antenna
-Remote Control Block
-Cameras fore & aft
-Assembler
-Gravity Generator
-Landing Gears (for locking on to those exploration finds)

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.

@High Ground... Thnaks very much! Looks intriguing... and thanks for the credits. Checking it out now.
Also... Holy Cow you have a lot of workshop items! I'm in need of some inspiration for my next series, so I guess I know what I'm spending the rest of my day looking through! :steamhappy:

I've done my fair share of modifications to respawn ship (my workshop will attest to that). But this has to be one of the most unique designs I've seen.

I liked it so much I did a refit of it, spent a whole night getting it just right. I hope you enjoy it.

@Shrimp - I found an image of the original and yes, it definitely was changed.

I've added images of before & after to the screenshots.
This build is based on the "after".
I think now I'll do a second version based on the "before".

Ah I see.
If I remember correctly, the original ship didn't used to look like this... I think they've changed the design of it at some point, like they did with the Respawn Ship 3. I didn't recognise the new one to begin with either. Unfortunately I can't remember what it looked like before the change.

If anyone has a blueprint of the original ship before it changed shape, please link me a screenshot!

but you are very kind person :)

yes i know i just dont recognize design

@Shrimp... The original ship is one of the Respawn ships.
There are 7 in total (though 3 are the same) and 2 ways to get any of them.

1) Start in a new survival world with the game option "Start in Respawn Screen" checked.

2) Hit Backspace in any survival world to die & enter the Respawn Menu.

Make sure you have the world setting "Enable Respawn Ships" turned on.

Far as I know, manually respawning in a Creative Mode world does not work - you just get an empty list.

If you need more help let me know & I'll walk you through it.
