EVT Solitude

NO MODS OR DLCS REQUIRED! This ship has only one subgrid and runs only one script--both of these are entirely optional.

The Solitude is a mining and production vessel intended to take any up-and-coming group of engineers from the surface of a planet to the stars, and help them survive up there; it is ideal for exploring uncharted areas and establishing bases. As such, its Coyote Orbital (COY) designation is EVT, for Exploration Vessel Type. This ship not only mines asteroids, but uses its onboard industry (2 large refineries, 5 large assemblers, and a large number of O2/H2 generators) to process the resources gathered into useful components as well.
Created by the Coyote Orbital Design Bureau Divsion A to escape Galados in the GV sector, the Solitude was built under harsh conditions. After weeks of around the clock construction, COY successfully lifted off of Galados in the EVT and used the ship's production capac to establish a foothold in Bylen's belt.

The Solitude's primary forward facing camera is mounted on a rotor array, along with several spotlights. Though the combination of these in the center of the drilling head greatly improves visibility when mining, it isn't required. If the subgrid is not used, CODB recommends replacing the base of the rotor with a camera in the same position.

if u like ship pls leave a rating ^-^ <3

I've been sitting on this one since January...today I decided I might as well remove all the DLC blocks and post it with everything else, as it's a fairly useful ship. This was the first large ship I created for the Guardians server, and the first one to be built there. It's still floating around Bylen today, in fact, albeit with drills removed and allocated to (frankly ridiculous) mining vessels. Obviously, the small size of the drill head limits how deep it can mine, but the Solitude is more than enough for gathering the materials needed to build a dedicated production base and mining ship, while (I hope) looking good as you go.
The Solitude takes its name from a classic Black Sabbath song, by way of an Ulver cover on the latter group's album Shadows of the Sun (good stuff).

My cutaways were made with the Green Screen skybox and some editing in paint dot net; the awesome logo is courtesy of Paralix (ty soooo much!). Non-server screenshots use Realistic Skybox and Apothilight, plus some FOV tweaking (nvidia ansel i loooove u)
