DSF4 Duchessa-B

Description
Drone Support Frigate, with facilities to manufacture and operate up to 6 drones.
Removed two of Duchessa's four large containers to add ship construction equipment.

  • 1,670,000 kg
  • Large reactor
  • Battery backup with 30-minute capacity at full thrust
  • Medical room
  • 4 refineries
  • 6 arc furnaces
  • 8 assemblers
  • 2 large containers
  • 4 drone docking-only berths with indicator lights
  • 2 drone docking & construction berths with indicator lights and welding booms
  • Sensors shut off welders and pause pistons if player is near
  • Remote control and directional cameras
  • Small container for crew
  • Captain's private cabin and small container
  • Projector located at ship's pivot point for easy repair/construction

No mods required, Caldari Skybox used for screenshots.

Attention 2014-12-08
Due to a bug in Space Engineers, projected Timers and Remote Controls that use groups cannot be built by hand, and will crash the game if ship welders are used. To work around this bug, paste ships from workshop, remove all groups from Timers and Remote Control toolbars, and create a blueprint from that version.
Hopefully this will be fixed in the next patch

I found this ship adrift in my lone survival game.

It's a beautiful design. Simple and elegant, Robust and easy to adapt to a number of uses as a platform.

Reminds me of the old Terran Federation ships.

I place a landing gear, projector and small reactor (I keep the components for those separate in one of the Duchessa's containers). See the screenshot above showing the drone projection. If you place the landing gear as shown the drone's connector will line up with the Duchessa connector.

Trying to adapt this to actually build drones, instead of being just for show. I'd have to build a small ship projector and connector poking out into the welding area I assume.

Since it's currenlty a large ship prjector seperated by a large ship block from the building area.

finished the Duchessa overhaul i promised you, although its more based off the original one.

that last line in the description is prompt for you to build an warship along your style, id love to see what you come up with (i lack creativity)

let me know what you think!

Go for it. I put this stuff up for people to use, after all.

im actually building a heavily modified, and modded version of your ship, and actually, can i have your permission to publish it with due credit ofc? im building it on the line of a ship captured by pirates and heavily modified for raiding
heavy armor hull actually moves fairly well btw.
Stone Cold Jane Austen  [author] 12 Dec, 2014 @ 5:36pm 
Apart from the hangar, no. Doesn't seem to be any point, heavy armour is too, well, heavy.
Cain Bennu 12 Dec, 2014 @ 10:29am 
hey ive got a quick question, have you built a version of the Duchessa with heavy armor?
Stone Cold Jane Austen  [author] 12 Dec, 2014 @ 5:15am 
I've submitted the Duchessa, as I don't feel this version is good enough.
