Description
(SV Tier 2, Size Class 2, Unlock Level 10)

Primary roles: Early game transport vessel, survival, SR warp, constructor, storage, o2, fridge, armor locker, point defense

The WTV1 Taurus is a utility transport SV that is capable of heavy lifting, transportation, and short-range warp of other vessels. It has a unique twin pod design with a central open boarding platform. It's perfect for moving a mining HV around the solar system to collect more exotic resources, or even a tank to assault a distant target.

General features

The dual-entry pilot cabin is airtight and comes equipped with a passenger seat, constructor, 5.07K storage, 766 ammo storage, armor locker, fridge, and O2 station. The turret can be used as light point defense while landed.

Offense and Defense

The ship is completely built with steel and has a single top-mounted minigun turret. Avoid direct combat with the Taurus, as it's primary role is transport / utility.

1. Player unlock level 10, Size Class 2, CPU tier 2
2. 5.07K storage
3. Constructor, O2 + station, fridge, armor locker
4. Detector, WiFi
5. Detailed control panel controls in 'P' menu
6. Defense Turret w/ 766 ammo storage
7. Easily lifts and transports heavier HV's / multiple smaller vessels

Thanks for checking out the ship! Just remember that a ship cannot dock to another ship if it already has something else docked into it. For example, if your miners are docked to the Taurus, the Taurus will be unable to dock to anything else. First, unload the miners to dock :)

This is perfect for carrying two small miners, I have a small problem in the fact it will not lock down on my CV ship,

It's a very versatile ship. You can definitely use it in the role that you mentioned, and more. Thanks for checking it out!

Looks like just the thing for when living out of a CV, transport a hover mining vessel from CV in orbit to planet side and back after doing work.

Great design! Unfortunately, I couldn't use the BP in multiplayer. It wouldn't "send to factory" correctly on our private server. Would recommend for SP games though!
