Industrial Freighter Transport with Hyperdrive, Deceleration Drive v0.4e

Managed to locate my old saves and work through the Space Engineers Save Upgrade process from Beta to 1.2 - Lots of old vanilla stuff - Hyper drive - more like mass accelerator now haha thanks to new SE features.

@wifin If you turn ship gravity off the ship doesn't pitch down - unless a recent update has sent a few thing out of whack ... not worked on SE for a month due to life commitments so I'm out of the loop on changes. On another ship I started i have the new containers sitting horizontal and flush with the ship.. but will be interesting to see what you come up with.

Cargo crates themselves are pretty neat. Really efficient structure.
While hauler looks very nice outside, interior is outright raw. Also, loading the crates was alsovery problematic due to sideways connection. And crates make the ship pitch down.

I'm woking on the concept of a cargo hauler myself. Let's see what I can come up with.

looks good

Posted a New Ship Port Authority TUG Ship for Shipping Containers

@Froesch hehe yes this project is getting huge, this week I've been building pirate cargo holders and fighters to steal the containers.. testing with friends and they are having some fun trying to decide what to steal!

yeah i'm happy when i can help. this project with the containers is huge and pretty awesome ;-)

@Froesch - Thanks, it's hard testing complex systems on your own! = I see what you mean now because of your screen grabs.

thx that worked much better with the merge blocks. when i tried the containers on the freighter i found out that the reactor on the container and the control panel on the other side are a problem for the middle landing gear. screenshot: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=301864094 . i tried to connect the connectors in that position but i was scared to break the pistons ;-) so i unlocked them as fast as possible again. the connectors on the container are not similar on both sides, so i had to turn the green one.

Pushed an update with merge blocks on the containers and tug ship.
