We would love to hear what you think about this one and our other designs.


Sister, or in tis case, brother ship design to the Artemis escort. Apollo is primarily an early game cargo transport and mining ship. Almost all internal space is taken by a large cargo bay. For anything it can't carry, Apollo is equipped with a ventral docking port.

Apollo was designed to use as many turrets as possible on a small frame. This means 3 turrets on each "rib" (18) and 3 more on top. Additional 4 hardpoints for point defense turrets are placed on the engine section. In it's full readiness, Apollo can equip up to 20 mining, 1 combat and 4 PD turrets.

Default crew quarters are meant to house professional crew, but can be expanded to include regulars. In case extra space is required, you can turn a thruster (marked in yellow) into more crew quarters.

Apollo was designed to use as much processing power as possible, while still leaving room for future upgrades. After unlocking a new socket, you can turn the grey framework cubes into shields, generators or more crew/cargo space.

Added blinking lights that should have been there from the start.
Balanced engine and deceleration.
