[old! - new link in description]ES Zyklop -Ion Kite Corvette by EuroSpace

Description
Check out the new version here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3171844726





The ES Zyklop is an Ion Kite Corvette and an evolution of the Ion Wing, previously used solely to feed into combinator ships of EuroSpace's MIC class (Modular Ion Chamber). The Zyklop features the addition of a shield and a more robust frame, enabling it to act alone in smaller engagements, as well as providing a cheap source of double ions for an MIC. The extra durability comes with a cost in reverse speed, however at the same time, it is better able to give chase against targets that outrange it.

Speed: ~85m/s
Crew: 14
Price: ~144.000

Here is the other ship from the screenshot - the ES Ion Bat Mk III (MIC):

[Attention: The game currently has a missing feature where crew assignments are not copied along with loading the crew roles. That leads to broken ships - especially important for this ship. To work around, paste this ship in creative (do NOT create a grid first), then look at the assignments and memorize/take a screenshot. Then try to replicate assignments in career for a correctly working ship]

Nice little ship, but i needed more power so i smashed two together added a pair of engine rooms and a tiny amount of cargo space. thanks for the design :)

Then you can just park it somewhere, strip it of almost all crew and it effectively becomes a station anyway.

Too huge cargo ship is very slowly for fleet

I might make stations eventually. However, I don't see them having any function that a dedicated factory ship cannot also perform. If it's just to dump stuff, you can do that with a huge cargo ship too, which is why my supply ships have expandable cargo bays.

Nice design, how about stations?
