Hermes Mk-I

NOTE: Not Safe For Survival mode and Lots of Internal engines on this beast - new update will thrash the aft section of the vessel. Might do a refit/fix another time. For now, this is really just for show- I would suggest NOT flying around!
---------------------------------------------------------

Here's my first space engineers build (and first workshop thing ever), so, please forgive (and notate) if there are amateurish/missing/poorly done things:

"Hermes" class Deepspace Survey Vessel/Cargo Hauler Prototype.

This was a ship I had designed for a star wars pen n paper game many many many years ago. Space Engineers was the first time I ever got the chance to see the pen and paper concept molded in 3d :) t'was meant to be a commercially available ship with a wide range of customization options. Trade/cargo, small fighter carrier, deep space survey, etc.

She's not particularly pretty, but was designed (in my little fantasy world) to be function over asthetic. It's currently thin skinned with only light armor (designed it before Heavy Armor was available... or before I noticed it was available), and i still need to do some work on the escape pods & turrets to avoid them pulling loose and/or damaging the hull. Not really a combat ship. While the interior is fully formed, the rooms are not fully decorated/assigned.

Here are the specs:

The original design of the ship had area for landing gear and for the forward bulkheads of the Port & Starboard cargo bays to open up as ramps to allow cargo to easily be moved onto and off of the ship. However, I built this model before the addition of rotors, so perhaps, in an updated build, i'll add them.

There are a lot of fun little areas to find, especially in the aft of the ship in and around engineering. There are a lot of interior lighting fixtures, so hopefully it won't chug too hard for you.

Additionally, I added a few fighter craft - just things i was playing with. If someone has an idea or way for me to get those escape pods locked down, i'd welcome the suggestions! Enjoy.
