Argo MFL (Medium Flatbed Lifter)

Mod/Scenario - None (Vanilla)


The Argo Medium Flatbed Lifter is a 4-person small-grid (S.V.) 'ground-vehicle mover' ship designed to look as if it comes from the manufacturer "Argo Astronautics" from the game Star Citizen.
-Update- Now with gravity!
Her propulsion is provided mostly by Large T2 thrusters, although the decent thrust is produced by T1 large thrusters.
In her stock loadout, the MFL comes armed with 6 Gatling Turrets and 2 fixed Gatling Guns, plus is equipped with a shield for defence.
The internal equipment consists of 5 Constructors, 4 Mini-Fridges, 4 Oxygen Stations and 6 Armour Lockers. The storage solution on board a stock MFL includes: two 8k SU containers; a 4.3k SU ammo container; a 750 & two 570 SU containers; 22 cargo boxes; and 64 fuel tanks holding 38.4k of fuel.
The internal layout of the ship consists of 2 decks and includes multiple ingress/egress points, especially onto the 4 flatbed pads, plus: a habitation area with 4 bunks, a sofa, a workstation, a dining table with 2 benches, a kitchette, and a separate toilet & shower; Engineering, housing the reactor with 6 generators, the warp drive, shield generator and pentaxid tank; separate cargo bay and ship's store - containing the ammo container, the main O² tanks and most of the fuel tanks.
The flatbed pads are the following sizes: front pads are 20 blocks by 15 blocks (10m x 7.5m); rear pads are 15x15 blocks (7.5m²).
The artificial gravity is provided by two medium and two small generators, and covers the whole interior as well as the exits out onto the flatbeds, but does not cover the entirety of them.
- NOTE - any Mini Fridges on board come turned off by default.





Outer Hull = standard steel.
Deck Plating (where not hull) = carbon substrate.
Bulkheads = carbon substrate.
Structural Frame = None.
Armour = carbon substrate internally, plus ½ steel block externally.
The Argo MFL comes fully compliant with Regulation Lighting.
Running Lights = White slow-pulsing lights to indicate to an observer that the ship is powered/running.
Navigation Lights = Green (starboard), red (port) and white (stern) steady-on lights to indicate the ship's orientation to an observer - used for formation or avoidance.
Anti-Collision Beacons = Flashing light-red (dorsal/top) and yellow (ventral/bottom) lights that automatically flash when any thruster or gyro is powered to indicate to an observer that the ship could move at any time so to stay clear.
Flight Strobes = Bright white blinking lights that automatically blink when the ship is in motion - used for avoidance.
Outer Doors - Manual.
Inner Doors - Manual.


- NOTE - The newly added gravity generators ARE NOT shown in the interior screenshots BUT ARE included in the screenshots of the material costs and mobility stats.
