SURVIVAL READY / NO MODS

This compact survival ship can leave a planet, jump to another planet, hover and explore, land and build, and then return.

PLANETARY EXPLORATION:
> High thrust to weight ratio for hovering around in gravitational fields
> Three point retractable landing gear with shock absorption
> Elevator for accessing ground level on foot

DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION:
> JUMP DRIVE capable of 2,000 km jump (2,000,000 m)
> Fully survival ready with med bay, refinery, assembler, oxygen, etc.
> Stocked with some supplies for starting new outposts

------------------------------ INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------
HOVER: Use dampeners ON ('Z') for hovering around planets and moons. Most thrust is up and forward so it flies like a helicopter.

LANDING: Use extreme caution when approaching the ground. Use toolbar 1-#1 to raise and lower landing gear. LOCK landing gear (#2) and turn OFF dampeners ('Z') to save fuel.

ROCKET: To leave orbit of a large planet you must transition the ship from a horizontal position to a vertical one while keeping momentum straight upward.
> Start launch from low altitude and not moving.
> Hold spacebar and go straight up staying level. Keep momentum straight up.
> When speed starts droping from max to 85 m/s, hit forward thrusters and quickly go vertical.
> Use thrust override buttons on toolbar 2 to adjust thrust and burn fuel as needed.
> When out of planets gravity JUMP DRIVE to the moon !
> Carefull when landing from orbit. Keep momentum forward on approach.

SURVIVAL: This ship uses a great deal of power when hovering or rocketing into space. Keep a close eye on your uranium consumption on extended trips. Expect to burn an ingot every few minutes.
