Gryphon Light Carrier CV

[not yet updated for alpha 10 or CPU]

Warp-capable Carrier and Light Cargo CV
Level 10
Intened to be an affordable CV for hauling around mining-HV's and storage for mined ore.

Update Dec. 25: Figured out how to re-texture cargo extensions, gave it an overhaul to retexture them and added quite a few more to increase cargo capacity. The 'truckbed' area is now built of cargo extensions. (new cargo capacity listed below). Updated pictures.


No gravity generator.
Built of cardboard blocks (carbon) - not intened for any combat.
No constructor - intened to haul ore or ingots that are refined in a mining HV back to a base, or haul loot from a pacified POI.

Oxygenated Interior, O2 Fill station, med station, armor locker, 1 passenger seat, Fridge, and a Bed included.

3 Cargoholds:
Container controller 1 (interior): 203,875L (SU)
Container controller 2 (rear): 169,250L
Container controller 3 (rear): 169,250L
Total general cargo storage: 542,375L

warning: depending on what you are hauling it could be very easy to overload and be unable to take off. This has about 4G lift accel, allowing it to carry 3x it's weight in 1G. I've tested it with 1,200tons additional mass (2 CV XL thrusters) and it can just barely climb using forward and up at the same time. More down-pointing small CV thrusters can be added, I've marked places for two more with a - (minus / hyphen) sign in the back of the 'bed' area. Two more of them should give around 8G total lift.

8,000L Ammo storage
1,000L Refridgerated storage

(if using old style slot-based storage system this has 5x 64 slot containers, although many more can be added)

1 Retractable minigun (for defence from drones)
7 Retractable sentry guns (for defence from hostile ground critters)

Boarding ramp in interior for quick exiting. This can also be used to send the player drone out for mining while staying inside the ship.
Rear ramps automatic on sensor, includes a switch to disable the sensor.
Small lights on switches in control panel.

Fairly lightweight, uses a minimal amount of the smallest thrusters to keep the neodymium costs down.
Also fairly fuel efficient - 2.5hrs hovering in 1G, ~18hrs parked w/ turrets on.
This isn't a full mobile base type CV however, more like a truck with some extra features.
