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-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-E 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.

Damn yeah, good idea.

Thanks. Glad you're enjoying it all!
As for adding a refinery yourself - it shouldn't be too difficult. All you have to do is create a "scaffold" of blocks joining the thruster nacelle to the main body of the ship, so the nacelle doesn't become detached & float away when you cut the armour corners off. After you're done adding the refinery you can just remove the "scaffold".
To build the scaffold you'll probably want to remove some of the catwalk panels on the top of the ship so you have something to build onto.

@cptsavarus
You have done very good work!
But i have the problem that i cant include the rafinery on my own. The pyramid blocks near the o2 gen holding the whole shipt toghether. Removing them will disconnecting the left or right "arms"

@[NaZZ]... The vanilla Respawn Ship 2 never had a refinery, hence neither do my updated versions.

Why is there no Rafinery?
cptsavarus  [author] 14 Feb, 2018 @ 11:38am 
@Shrimp... Yes, I prefer this one too - nicer shape.
I wasn't actually planning to remake the new-shape Respawn Ship 3 (the yellow one with the bulge at the front). It'd be too much like Respawn Ship 1 (Old Yellow) and would make Respawn Ship 2 (the blue ones) obsolete.
Am also not planning to remake the small blue ship with the drill (named "Small Respawn Ship"), as frankly, it looks like a nasty potato... and by making it not be a potato I'd effectively be building a whole new ship rather than a remake - and I really don't want to publish a potato! Hehe!

The Escape Pod though - that can still be really useful. I'd forgotten all about that one, so thanks for reminding me. I'll do a new version of it next chance I get. We'll call it a bonus ship. :steamhappy:

Also the no piston connector problem is very easy to be fixed manual :D
Jukebox 14 Feb, 2018 @ 10:04am 
Even better than KR-E i guess that escape pod is next or is it the yellow one with cockpit?

@Korvalus... Thanks! Glad you like!
I have a whole series of little-large ships on the way, so hope you'll stick around!
