FS.S30.1 Apollo-Class Interplanetary Explorer

A break from many of Fleet Standard's shipbuilding conventions, the S30.1 Apollo-Class Interplanetary Explorer is a lightweight recon and survey ship primarily built for the civilian market. Sporting more experimental features than traditional FS vessels, the Apollo-Class comes stock with with custom loading ramps and landing gear, retractable HUDs for command staff, and integrated RADAR. Futhermore, the ship's extreme asymmetry is designed to give operators a clear overhead view of loading and unloading operations.

Background:
Vanilla ship no mods no DLC. This ship has been UPDATED 7/24/19 to fix a number of problems. The Automatic LCD script that was broken with the last round of updates has been fixed, and the Graphical Radar script has been replaced with Whip's Turret Radar script. Furthermore, the ship has been stabilized, and will no longer slowly pitch and roll when left in space unmoored for long periods of time.

Design Brief:
Inspired by the Drake Caterpillar of Star Citizen, this reimagined version is a decently well rounded light explorer and a good runabout for survival gameplay, be it solo or with a small team. Especially good for hoping around a small planetary system, like running goods to and from the moon.

I hope you enjoy, and look for more ships from Fleet Standard in the future!
