Pyxis Nautica Aurum 54

Welcome aboard Pyxis Nautica's Aurum 54 Long Range Luxury Yacht!

This 54 meter vessel has been expertly appointed for handling any of your deep space transportation and recreational needs. With its four luxurious cabins (each with in-suite head), gourmet galley, formal dinning, and well appointed bar the Aurum 54 can accommodate up to two crew and eight guests in spectacular comfort and safety.

The powerful primary thrusters are capable velocities of up to 100 m/s and the ample maneuvering thrusters make the Aurum 54 an agile joy to pilot.

The generous reactors provide double the needed power so there is plenty to spare even if a reactor must be taken offline. The Aurum 54 is also capable of dissipating four times more heat than it generates so there is no risk of the cabin becoming uncomfortable for the passengers.

Though not meant for combat, Pyxis Nautica knows that it's not always safe out in the black, and so the Aurum 54 is well equipped for self defense. The 160k rated shields offer top of class protection while the standard four duel-laser turrets and large axial beam cannon will discourage even the most desperate pirate.

For all of your luxury space fairing needs, Pyxis Nautica knows the way!

* Personal Notes:
This was my first build in Starship EVO. Although I am fairly pleased with the results, I had made significant progress on the hull using small blocks before I realized that there was a fixed grid and that large blocks could only be fit to that grid. Therefore the entire build is "off grid", which is a mistake that I will not make again.
As the hull is made entirely of small blocks it does not appear to handle damage well and I don't recommend taking it into combat. It is a luxury yacht after all.
The lack of an ability to automatically re-home turrets is a problem. In the case of the Aurum 54, if the turrets are not homed before retracting them the hatch will get stuck on the gun barrels. I provided a yoke on the port console next to the captain's chair for this purpose. Just activate the yoke and point the turrets directly forward.
I provided a toggle switch for the gravity generators since climbing the stairs seem problematic when landed in a gravity field.
