Polar Convoy

The result of a ten-minute brainstorming session. I needed a small ship to transport ice in an atmosphere. The result was this cute blue-and-white cutie.

Features:
* The ship can even squeeze through a gate block.
* Access to containers via access panels or through side thrusters.
* x4 containers from DLC.
* Large connector on the bottom.
* Lifting force is enough to carry 4 containers full of ice on Pertam.
* Since the ship is atmospheric, there is no O2-generator. Throw a couple of O2-cylinders into the cockpit.
* Additional lifting thrusters are placed on a separate control panel button to reduce lifting force and make maneuvering on the base more controllable.
* Added a landing light and a landing camera, which greatly facilitates precise docking.
* Hidden in the depths is a backup reactor for recharging batteries in idle time.
* A projector is placed to repair damage to the ship.

Disadvantages:
* These flat engines on the sides are not very powerful, as a result of which the ship does not speed up very quickly under load;
* To save the low profile of the ship, the connector block had to be placed through a small connector junction, which limits the list of components that can pass through it. The connector block could be placed under the conveyor block (to the large junction side), which will increase the profile of the ship by one block in height.
