BLOCKA43 Runner

Description
Not currently meant for public release but you can still try it if you want. It's intended for Solnakar's smuggler mod.
(https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2384718926)

Solnakar here is a ship for your smuggler mod!

For armor I'd like Battered_Armor, Dust_Armor, CarbonFibre_Armo

For names I don't really care

Lore: Originally built as a reliable passenger shuttle, this series of ships are known as Blockade Runners for their aftermarket engines that lead to fast acceleration. This along with a moderate suite of weapons for their size allow them to fight off a variety of attackers. However, its armor is light so it may fall prey to concentrated attacks.

Notes: Slighly over PCU limit for the mod (4290) but this is partially due to the interior decorations. It is more completed than Hydroman though.
The thrusters are a bit powerful but I like the general shape of them. Essentially two nacelles on the end of the ship, so if you change that I would appreciate keeping the same general shape.
The ship has an upper missile turret that would theoretically use 200mm missiles, which contain some rare resources. You can change it to a Gatling if you wish or only give it a few missiles.
The interior is better decorated than Hydroman, but since it is an area you seem to be good in I'd encourage you to improve it more.
It's entirely hydrogen powered, but also has 4 large hydrogen tanks. It still runs through Hydrogen fairly fast, but it should be fine for the range of it's going.

Here's the reworked version https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2391911496 It's not in the mod yet as I want to add it along with random cargo feature.

I'm fine with your reworks. To my knowledge, it hasn't crashed, so I'm not sure where the damage came from.

Also, have you crashed it before taking blueprint? Whole bottom side, whole frontcside and part of the top side is damaged and armor deformed. There is even a block missing at the front right bottom and it looks like it lost a gyro and a battery there ;)

Thank you. Spent some time exploring the ship, and I will probably will work on it during weekend. To be honest, I'm not sure what I wil do with her.
I like cargo bay a lot and the overall interior layout is nice, although I will probably expand passenger part to better fit the lore. Nacelles are ok-ish - I'll have to reduce braking thrust and rework somehow the arms, which will change their shape.
What will require most work will be the central part exterior. It has flat armor walls all around which makes it a "brick" and it needs to be visualy broken up.
This means that I would preserve the idea behind the ship and general shape, but otherwise I will rebuild it from scratch. I probably will have time for that as no other ships were submitted so far, but I'm not sure if you are OK with such drastic rework.
