Argo LFL (Light Flatbed Lifter)

Mod/Scenario - None (Vanilla)


The Argo Light Flatbed Lifter is a 2-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 by Medium T1 thrusters.
In her stock loadout, the LFL comes only armed with 3 Gatling Turrets, but is equipped with a shield for defence.
The internal equipment consists of 1 Constructor, 3 Mini-Fridges, 2 Oxygen Stations and 2 Armour Lockers. The storage solution on board a stock LFL includes: two 2.5k SU containers; a 2k SU ammo container; a 1.1k & a 570 SU containers; 12 cargo boxes; and 16 fuel tanks holding 9.6k of fuel.
The internal layout of the ship includes multiple ingress/egress points, especially onto the 3 flatbed pads, plus: a habitation area with 2 bunks, a dining table with a bench, a kitchette, and a combined toilet & shower; Engineering, housing the reactor with 3 generators, the warp drive, shield generator and pentaxid tank; a cargo bay, which includes the main O² tanks, and 2 fuel stores, containing the ship's fuel tanks (obviously).
The flatbed pads are the following sizes: aft pad is 20 blocks by 15 blocks (10m x 7.5m); side pads are 15x5 blocks (7.5m x 2.5m).
The artificial gravity is provided by one medium and three small generators, and covers the whole interior and the two smaller side flatbeds.
- NOTE - any Mini Fridges on board come turned off by default.

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.

- 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.
