Challenger Mk2

This EPIC ship is the result of my entry into the "Exiled Challenge". It is a 27 million kg exploration ship. It is armed with 26 gattling turrets and 4 missle turrets for defense. It has 8 large thrusters in each direction for maneuvering and 18 large thrusters for forward drive, as well as a 96G gravity drive system. it has 291 gyroscopes covering the top and bottom hull plates covering its manufacuring area both for maneuvering and armor stabilization. It also has 5 large reactors, 6 large containers, 10 small containers, 4 refineries, 8 assemblers, 6 connector points (including 2 external), and a completely comprehensive conveyor system connecting it all together. It has an exploration bridge at the front and a fly bridge on top near the back (for complete 3rd person view. There are crew quarters in the back of the ship and 2 medical/functionary chambers with med bays. There is an ENORMOUS hangar bay inside the front half of the ship with connector access and work/repair areas with small ship access under the exporation bridge. Using all of the drive technologies available, this ship will easily fly and maneuver like a ship half it size. it will accelerate to 100m/s in a matter of seconds using its gravity drives. You should begin braking manuevers about 800-1000 meters out from destination. This ship has everything you would need for exploration, mining, contruction, and salvage operations, and could be used to establish a new permanent colony somewhere in deep space. The ship will definitely benefit from the addition of a small utlility fleet which would be housed in the hangar bay (sold separately). Be careful using the gravity drive system as it could cause small ships to detach from the deck plating under extreme acceleration.
