ES Leipzig Mk IV -T2 Factory

Description
The ES Leipzig Mk IV makes further improvements to this line of EuroSpace tier 2 factory ships. This includes a further reduction of its necessary crew size, aided by the introduction of Resource Collector technology. The Mk IV also replaces the underused EMP-Launchers with two additional thruster modules thrust to prevent sluggishness when fully loaded. Remaining are EuroSpace's modular storage section as well as the optimized tier 2 factory block with which the Leipzig can produce everything a strike force could need, able to function as a base of operations for any medium to large fleet.

- Speed: ~100m/s
- Crew: 64
- Cost: ~$1.188.000,-

Thanks for the ship.
I live in Leipzig myself and that makes it the right choice for me. :steamhappy:

If you move them to the front, they won't have good supply distance to the reactor and the containers (which will likely be expanded to the maximum build area length) will be in the way. They were put in "the back", because you're supposed to just rotate the ship so that the wreck you're trying to salvage is "behind" the ship. But it's not really "the back", because if the ship ever gets caught by an enemy, the side with the shields is supposed to be the one you expose to enemy fire and the forwards thrust is supposed to be usuable to its fullest to get away. As such, the mining lasers have to be on that side as well to have good aiming arcs and not having to shoot over all the unarmored containers in "the front".

The mining lasers on the back is pain, moved them to the front. Amazing design otherwise, love your ship series!

By default, the factories are turned off. Maybe that's it. The factories work fine for me. So I don't think I made a crew assignment error, but you should double check the orange crew (and maybe some of the light blue ones too, if I remember correctly), just to be sure.

I couldn't get the factory to work the crew doesn't seem to power the parts for the factory

True, but for me 8x speed wasnt enough somehow. maybe to much work todo. xD

I find that these factory ships don't need much crew at all, because any process that might take long can just be sped up by increasing game speed to 8x. At least that's how I play.

The problem i found out with the more storage space (on my self builded upgraded ones) was, that the mining got more difficult. And another thing i did was to increase the crew-size with some more storage workers to handle largerstorage operations and working on the factories simultanously.

Nah, that would've resulted in a less effective design. This ship wants to move away from the enemy as fast as possible, if caught. So it only makes sense to put the defenses in the "rear" that will be facing the enemy while trying to run from it. This ship should never actively try to enage or chase after enemies. You have your combat-specialized ships for that.

You should've kept the storages in the back and the weaponry/shields in the front like you did for the Magpie, Moon, and Temelin.
