Description

Introducing the ONRC - ‘Venture’ - Interplanetary Shuttle

"Whilst warfare is a defining factor of ONRC vessels, not all of their ships are specifically designed for battle; one of the most prominent examples being the Venture class. Despite being sparsely armed and somewhat sluggish, the Venture finds its use through a built in jump drive allowing it to scout ahead of battlegroups whilst remaining relatively undetected due to its profile - a feature uncommon for such a small ship. Although it has long ranged systems, usually the Venture is not far from company, and in most cases is used as a support vessel for larger fleets; when transference of cargo or personnel may be necessary or pre-battle reconnaissance required. Such abilities make the class a surprisingly useful part of the Olympian war effort, assisting in ways a larger craft would otherwise be incapable of…"

Block Count: 288
PCU Count: 5,288

Space: Yes
Planets: Yes
Moons: Yes (may be sluggish in higher gravities)

The Venture is one of the smallest mainline designs available from the ONRC, featuring only 2 rocket launchers, and 2 interior turrets for self defence. The vessel in stock configuration comes with 3 batteries, 1 gravity generator, 1 jump drive, and dorsal connector.

The interior is fully pressurised and features a survival kit, bed, 2 lockers, as well as gravity access, and stern and bow airlock access. The vessel is designed to be piloted by 1 crew member, however can fit up to 3 if need be.

The venture flies best with as little cargo as possible, but is still flyable (if not a bit sluggish), in most gravities sub 1g. Exiting gravity should not be too difficult as long as the main thrust pack is used, however at full capacity it may suffer some issues unmodified.

Reference and Inspiration:

- Based on Xocliw’s Green Team Shuttle

- Some design cues and texturing methods are inspired by builds from Taidyr , be sure to check him out!

I have tried to make this design as efficient as possible, however fitting thrust, systems, and interior space into a sub 300 block vessel proved to be somewhat challenging, especially whilst keeping it aesthetic - so it isn’t the most functional ship ever created. With that being said, if you are okay with the downsides/are fine with modifying it, I’m sure you will find this to be quite a capable little craft...

Cheers, Omega!
