EHI MCF-930 Tradewind (Refinery Barge)

NO MODS | DLC REQUIRED | SCRIPTS | NO SUBGRIDS | SURVIVAL READY



HUD ID: (MCF-930)
Hull symbol: AKG





As a modular vessel, the MCF-930 Tradewind is capable of filling a broad variety of support roles. This particular configuration is equipped with a Mobile Refinery Barge (MRB). Designed as a cheap and relatively expendable industrial platform, the MRB can be dismounted to provide long term refining capacity at an excavation site. Equipped with a survival kit , crew cabin, multiple methords of power generation, reasonable cargo space, and docking slips for multiple mining drones, the MRB is well suited to independent operation at remote sites.


Overview:
The core components of the Tradewind are its command module- which houses the crew cabin, and engineering module- which houses its main powerplant and jump drives. Designed to comfortably sustain a single crew member for an extended duration, the command module generates enough thrust and power to be self-sufficient on its own. Combined with the engineering module, available thrust per ton increases significantly with jump drives allowing for long distance travel.

The rest of the Tradewind is comprised of a series of Modular Freight System (MFS) modules and/or barges, linked together in a a "string." This string can consist of any combination of cargo pods, vehicle transporters, or even additional engineering modules. This system allows for entire groups containers to be pre-loaded and prepped for transport before the Tradewind arrives. The command module can then simply attach itself to the new string and continue its route. This allows for extremely rapid turnaround time, as well as customization to meet the needs of specific missions.

As this ship is much much longer than it is wide, this ship when assembled tends to have very pronounced roll characteristics versus yaw or pitch. Handling changes as containers are filled.


Author's Note:
This ship has a subgrid that consists of a single connector block attached to the end of the docking piston. This ship can still be easily built via projector.
