Elypso - 100% Vanilla

Description
100% Vanilla, no Rotors/Pistons.

IMPORTANT: Please note that the Airlocks are a little bit buggy, to fix it just go inside and circle it 2 Times (Press the Button on the Panel). Then it should work fine, if you have any Questions, feel free to ask in the Comments. If you spawn the Ship switch *Hide* in terminal to off and search for 'Scriptrunner', there should be 2 Timer Blocks, select them and click on: Trigger Now!

First, huge thanks to Aragath for building the Elevator in, testing the Ship in Survival with me and giving me some Tips for the Interior. And some inspiration for the Airlocks.

In 2187 ZerbTech builds the Elypso, a medium size Exploration Ship. They had not so much Money for the Ship and when they finished the Exterior there was almost nothing for the Interior left. So, lots of Blocks are uncovered and you see the Pipes and stuff. But all the Systems are high tech. During the building, the Hydrogen Thrusters entered the market but the W.R.L.S didnt use them because they already used 7 Big Ion Engines facing down, so the Ship can land on Planets. Design goes after Function - This is the main Sentence for the ZerbTech when building a Ship. So they made a Survival Ready Ship with:
1 Boosted Refinery
2 Arc Furnaces
4 Boosted Assemblers
2 Large Cargo Containers
Oxygen Systems
4 Jump Drives (3500km Jump Range)

In Adition, extra for this Ship, they built a small Hunter/Spy Drone, for Exploring Asteroids or watching the Enemys:
(Here will be a link)

The Communication Systems of the Elypso are also very advanced. It has a bunch of Laser Antennas 1 Long Range Antenna and 1 Short Range Antenna.

For a good around view, there are some Cameras around the Ship.

The Defence Systems of the Elypso are not meant for Combat but they are cabable of taking down a Pirate Base/Ship. There are 8 Meteor Turrets (Interior Turrets) on the Outside so the risk of being hit by a meteor is smaller. Some of the Big Turrets are self repairing. There are 4 Rocket Launchers on the Front and
the Elypso is cabable of launching 2 Decoys and 2 Torpedos (Will maybe updated the torps later).

On the Front, we have easy Access Cryo Pods and 4 Passenger Seats, so you dont have to circle the Airlock if you want to get in, when the Ship is Jumping or Moving(For MP).

Also for Survival, there has been a power saving mode added , which you can turn On/Off when you leave/enter the Ship.

In the Cockpit, theres a Emergency Exit, you just have to grind down the *Exit* LCD and open the door behind!

@Zerberus i wouldnt add hydrogen thrusters if I were you. Hydrogen thrusters are good for leaving a planet surface but ion thrusters are superior in space due to them havinging essentially limitless fuel. While acceleration may be lacking you can make up for it with gravity drives. Hydrogen tanks take up a lot of space that could be used for weapons systems instead. In other words a hydrogen powered ship is inferior to a ion ship just as an amphibious tank is inferior to a warship that can never leave the water.

Unfortunaly not :/ It was build before the planets were released so i gotta find a place for all that thrusters first.

Yes, I thought about adding a piston, but idk if they are now stable enough. (After that last Patch)

This is a very cool looking ship. Only thing I could mention about is that if you land this on a planet there is no way to get out of the ship onto the ground without using a jetpack.

You're wrong, I never played EVE and I have never seen that ship before ^^. But when I look at it now, i understand why you thought that.

Looks like it was inspired by the Abbadon from EVE
