Description
SCARAB is a high tech little transporter capable of interplanetary travel. It is solar and ice powered so it can endure long distance cargo hauling.

This blueprint is fully survival compatible. I'm hyped about the next SE update and I expect Scarab to be used on multiplayer servers for surface-to-orbit cargo lifting. Even on the surface it can hold its own. It has a huge cargo hold, it is well armed and fuel efficient. It doesn't require a lot of materials for construction and it rides like a hovercraft.

Scarab pilot manual:
Use mouse for steering.
Press 1 to activate hydrogen thruster.
Keep some ice in your hold. That's about it.


This is a fully functional, tested vehicle. I've lifted 45000 units of Cobalt back and forth from surface to orbit in survival. I hope some of the engineering solutions will inspire your future builds.

I’ve written a science fiction novel titled: "Janitors of the Late Space Age" inspired by Space Engineers. If you are looking for some summer reading - you can get it from Amazon as an electronic book or paperback.

@parkaserver what settings are you using ingame when you test? 1x, 3x?

@Prebz111 - I don't understand what kind of problem you are having? If you want to add atmo thrusters to it - sure, go ahead. It makes Scarabe mostly a planet based transporter that way. Something in your math is flawed, though: the weight of scarab is around 30000, but the cargo I've used is 40000 in addition to that weight, so it's actually 70000+. I've retested it on Earth with 40km atmo height and I managed to lift 40 tons with 80% fuel left, and even land it back with still around 50%. Good luck!

i have a problem with the scarab, i went ahead and tested this ship out, and on emty it's about 23538kg and the only thruster for bottom surport is a large hydrogen thruster, now if your going for max cargo hold which is around 38000 to 40000kg give or take, you can only hold around 16461kg of stuff, and that not including ice which could be about half of that weight so in total your could only carry around 8000kg of pure cargo give or take, which large atmo thrusters can hold about the same -ice, also was in 1g gravity(earth). Also why are there no thrusters to keep it stable, if you have max cargo the thrusters it does have can't keep it up right!

if you get rid of the hydrgoen thruster and tank and replace with one atmo thruster, the weight capasity is just about the same like 100 or 30kg different, but since you dont need alot of ice just alittle for life surport the atmo thruster one's cargo capasity if about twice that of hydrogen
