SS-Longcut 4G Cargo SV

Description
WARNING, THIS SHIP WAS BUILT IN THE STAR SALVAGE SCENARIO AND SO IT MAY ONLY WORK IN STAR SALVAGE! FORBIDDEN BLOCKS MAY EXIST IN ANY OTHER SCENARIO OR VANILLA!

The SS Longcut was named after Longcut, a subscriber who made a very generous donation during the live build stream of this ship.

This ship was built to address a challenge of the Star Salvage scenario. Most planets do not allow CVs to land on them. The SS Longcut has enough storage and thrust to loot and salvage most POIs and then shuttle everything up to the CV before beginning a run on the next one.
Whats more is that it has a landing pad on the back big enough to carry a combat SV to take down these POIs in the first place.

Recommended play style:
1. Dock a combat SV to the back.
2. Land the longcut safe out of range of the targeted POI.
3. take the Combat SV to defeat the POI.
4. Move the longcut into Wifi range of the POI.
5. loot the POI directly into the longcut.

This is a modified version from what you may have seen in my Youtube videos, the storage pods are not seperate SVs, they are built into the ship so no need to undock everything to dock it to the CV, just the combat SV on the back and away you go.
There is also a warp drive built in too, so you can take this around the local system and leave your CV in a safe orbit nearby.
I had to downgrade the lasers to plasma cannons to manage the CPU and it has a little less fuel capacity now but it all fits within the Tier 4 CPU limit and it works all the same.

On-board there is a constructor, 10 small boxes, 2 fridges, armor locker and o2 station. There is NOT a clone chamber! So don't die in hostile territory ;)
theres is also room for 2 friends if you want to bring them along.

I proved this ship can handle 4G gravity live, although there is a limit to how much you can stuff into the cargo boxes before it wont be able to lift off, at least without some seriously nifty flying ;)

I hope you enjoy!

All done (I think) with the full vanilla version. Going to make a "cheaper" upgradable version now.

Sorry between data loss, and rl I completely forgot about this. I'm back on it again though and should have at least the star salvage versions out soon. I'll do the vanilla after that, but I'm dropping the RE version from my todo list. Don't really care for RE/RE2, and don't want to learn them just to make this.

@ Spanj Yea I USUALLY don't play weights/volumes/cpu, but I know your followers do, so I'm struggling a little to make 6 versions. 2 each of vanilla, SS, and RE both full power and "starter". Not used to dealing with cpu, and container extensions so having to poke around a little with that. Final version's I also want ready for space mining as its a cargo ship afteral. Will poke back when ready.

@Spanj that's ok. I figured out how to get them separated again. After playing with jrandalls Helios set for a long time (including my personal copy converted to SV size) parking them is fairly easy to me. I've actually done a ton of mods to this and am close to putting my version on the workshop. Added a door that people so desperately wanted, separated the pods, and reworked the cargo one to have an enclosed cockpit as well as keeping the full 32k, switched it to top load the pods instead of bottom load making it much easier to dock as well as docking while landed, and many other small things. Like jrandals I like having the pods separate so I can make different ones and not just the cargo one.

@whitepawrolls, sorry that was overwritten with this version. the pods were a real pain to work with so wasn't happy to publish it

I see this is a moded version from the series and I was wondering if you still had the original version with the separate pods available? Thank you.

Understood but shit happens and if you fall off etc. how to get back on sh of ripping a hole in the side.

I use a smaller SV docked on the back to disembark/re-embark onto the Longcut. treat it more like a CV than an SV

Amazing ship. Have you solved the issue with trying to get back on the ship in High G? I see no ground access entrance, or am i missing something?
