RUON Shipyard | Hope - Long Range Colonial Ship

This project is a true labour of love and I Hope (giggles) that you will enjoy it! I've worked on this ship solitary, on and off for the last 5 years or so. I've lost progress made on the ship multiple times due to corrupted worlds, blueprint issues etc. Every time I was going back to finish it, I ended up reworking other half of the ship due to game changes since the project began and my own twisted mind ideas. During early stage of the building process I've encountered significant challenge. I've realised, not even half way through, that I wont be able to finish it. That's right! Hard coded block limit is a ♥♥♥♥♥, and there's no way around it... or so I thought. I loved the idea and design of this ship. I've spend already so much time and effort on this project, I couldn't just give up... so what options did I had? Share unfinished project? Post just empty hull of the ship as many other stumbled engineers in our community? Nah, not for me. How about two actual ships that look and act as one? Jackpot! I would say it's not finished yet, there are still few areas i would like to rework (like engineering bay) yet it's the most complete version to date that I'm happy to share now.

The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky on earth. It was always on the bucket list of many space travellers, unfortunately its distance from Solar System (1500 years) made it impossible to visit until discovery of jump drive. In very short time space become widely colonised. Earth's governments were struggling with many different space companies and colonies looking for Independence and space pirates. Fragile peace has been shuttered with wars breaking out in every corner of the galaxy. That's when a group of scientists and private investors decided to go on the journey to Orion Nebula, looking for new Eden. Years went by and multiple small colonies in Orion Nebula formed Republic of United Orion Nebula. Being so far away from Earths corruption and space conflicts they were able to coexists in peace and focus on technology and research. Idylls didn't last for long, as just few decades later a great threat appeared, it become inevitable that a nearby black hole will consume most stars in the nebula in coming years making it impossible to sustain human life. Republic started plans to relocate whole colony, and its main asset was new class of colony ships, Hope. Hope - Long Range Colonial Ship was architectured and engineered with both aesthetics and functionality in mind. Big enough to transfer whole cities in one go and sustain human life for decades thanks to its extensive life support systems and support ships. One of this ships has been send back to Solar System, to establish new colony in old world...

This ship is designed to be used by faction rather than single player. While it is possible to operate it independently, it's not recommended in survival game. Ship features extensive crew compartments and multiple control rooms, cockpits and decks for different tasks and might be challenging for sole operator. For best performance during its operation it is recommended to convert ship to station.
