Description
System Patrol Craft is a large-grid, high-tech, low-PCU-cost spaceship able to fill multiple roles. It was born on a public MP server and I used many tricks in the book to keep its PCU cost low. This craft has excellent, fighter-like mobility, strong frontal armor, easy-to-use countermeasures, and a forward mounted landing gear that you can use to pick up and tow stuff around.

What really sets it apart is – it’s under 1000 PCU!
A mobile, armed, jump-capable spawning point at this cost is useful on PCU-limited servers.

Pilot’s Manual:
Use the craft’s high mobility to your advantage. Face the enemy, activate the countermeasures by pressing “1” and keep moving. There is a slot for an additional turret. I've tested it in combat, and I suggest you keep at least one gatling in your weapons setup. The constant DPS works better for a nimble ship such as this one.

There are very few cosmetic parts on this ship, the interior is tightly packed, but functional.

This corvette is ideal for swift attacks, but I have also used it to deploy other, smaller craft and base modules inside of a conflict zone or to snatch strong signal crates.

-------------------
If you were waiting for a Space Engineers inspired SF novel, the stand-alone sequel to Janitors just got published!
It’s titled HAIL CLANG - I really hope you will like it!

Find it on Amazon in paperback or ebook format.

@Peasant - You are right. It happens to me sometimes that I end up trapped in front of the cockpit. Damn those 115 PCU doors!!!

The hidden entrance might be a little too snug: You can get in OK but you exit the cockpit you get popped out in front and have to grind your way out Otherwise, really fun tiny build

Ah Okay - I've misunderstood the context - sorry :P - usually when ppl say low cost its in terms of resources in order to spam build smth... :P

I come for the drone, now I'm leaving to find a book series. Advertising at its finest.

@ krzosu18 - Low cost means low PCU cost. On MP servers endgame play you are usually swimming in resources, but what you really lack is PCU.

Well i kinda doubr "Low cost" part :P - Somewhat due to those large Ion engines aka those ARE one of the MOST expensive things in the game and you used a lot of them. So nah this thing aint cheap at all :P

as for aesthetics and tug role - well that large clamp sorta is just.... Large. to haul cargo you can just put a rotor and a small Landing gear on it - aka it will take 1x1 space...

But ofc for pirating (aka including taking damage) then yah large clamp is better due to more hp and possibility of easy repair. altho this one sorta looks sorta weird. Imho devs should include smaller LG for clamping - it would make smaller ships way nicer looking.
