I'm not sure if this ship was originally airtight but it is not airtight now. The issue is that the gatling guns on the front. Putting a block behind them makes them stick out a bit further but fixes the problem.

Can you update this please.

I like this ship. Great functional design, Easy to edit and easy to repair. I swapped the passenger seats for some extra cargo space and swapped a pair of Gatlings for a couple of Railguns. Eats drones for lunch.

I like this! Very nice design, versatile craft with room for friends! I am currently thinking about modifying it slightly to make a version for solo games. Cheers.

P.S.

As said, I get the idea behind it and do respect the work which went into this but in the end, there is a ton of similar Craft out there with designs similar and which work for both Single and M.P. Servers....may-be, it is time to accept designs and practical realities have moved on and to make this and other craft work now...you might need to change designs...at-least a little bit...

Hope this helps...

I seem to remember says, upto...not as a, it has to be this of that big.

I just believe having the right-hand door blocked by the Cock-Pit and most of the storage accessed via the outside hatch, it compromise the viability of use in a session...forcing people to get on one side and go outside to get things from the cargo boxes.

This is not about making a huge, basically, C.V. style S.V. but it is, for me, about making what could an actually quite good Craft, a lot more practical.

I understand what you tried to make and the principals behind it...but in the end, the issues stated...whilst not everyone will have them, the fact is that...for me, they are issues...and sure you don't need a Warp-Drive but then what you end with is essentially a Shuttle, if you add the Drive you make a small Survival S.V. you can between Planets and Stations in...

I hope you think more on the ideas and points raised.


Regards.

@Skullkrusher1990, At the expense of your suggestion that I could make it 5 blocks wider and 10 longer. Do you understand that this will be a ship of a completely different class? This will destroy his concept.
I do not demand from you that you perceive it as I did, but the very idea of ​​this ship is the root of your claims to it.
So there's nothing to be done. I can only offer to look for an alternative that suits you.

Entirely not fit =)

@Skullkrusher1990, Greetings. Thanks for the comment. To be honest, I do not consider your claims justified in relation to this ship, probably because you perceive it differently from me.
If I describe how I see this ship - it is high functionality with small sizes.

Imagine that you hold it on your small CV as a transport, but you don’t have much space in the hangar, but you also need to place a hover, or maybe a combat SV? He may be far from being the main SV in your garage, but suddenly you play with a partner, you can lend him a Bulldog, you can arrange a joint raid, because the Bulldog can stand up for himself. What if you need to fly far for any reason, the Bulldog does not consume a lot of fuel and there is a Warp-drive and so on ...
And all with small dimensions that allow you to leave it even for a rainy day never remembering him until that moment.

Hello.

This is to Rayner_Lute

Please do not take what I say as an insult, it is a comment might to help you out.

Just to say, I do like this, or at the very least, the design and idea, but the end result...is a tiny internal space, cargo boxes you can only access for the outside....and a cockpit which blocks the right-hand door..

So to be useful, you have to make this craft wider, by at-least three blocks..upto maybe five and made longer by around about ten...this way you can access both doors and have space to put the storage boxes inside and still have the other machines...

You (Rayner_Lute), have the ability to make this a cool little craft...especially if you made it long and wide enough to add a Warp-Drive, that way you could use it Transport good from Planet to Planet. etc.
It just needs a little work, that is all.

I hope it helps.


Regards.
