''Kalifragma'' (''Kalifragma I'' class)

[2023-01-11]

My submission for the "Spaceship Generator Competition" contest.

Flight information: The flight cockpit is in the engineering section. This is because it is the position that produces the optimal 3rd person view. Hit the gas gently, this ship is designed for coasting, rather than precise maneuvering. There is one gyroscope dedicated to holding the ship level against the listing produced by, probably, the engineering section. During flight this gyroscope's override setting should be turned off.

Information: The "Kalifragma I" class of long-range expeditionary vessels is designed for the transport of small exploratory units over long distances, and to provide a pleasant journey. It has a closed-cycle fabrication loop, meaning it can produce ships and recycle them.
"Following the customary rituals, the machine forge vomited a hulk of hard steel from its wrathful flames. What was its will? When it cooled enough not to melt our tools, we started hollowing it out to make space for the ship's innards. The forge's spirit had produced many windows... what were they for? Clearly, this was a ship meant to "see". We started working..."

Additional information: The hull of this ship was generated using GoodAI's "AI Ship Generator" tool (link at the bottom), and later refined to become usable. Some of the work included hollowing it out, adding enough all around thrust, adding some structures such as the hangar or the main habitation area, and piping everything together.
