LDEV MK3.1 L Manta Ray (Vanilla)

Purpose:
The aim of this ship was to create something that would be prepared for almost everything that you would encounter in survival as it would be exploring the depths of SE and leave no asteroid or planet undiscovered. The ship is designed like a mobile station as it uses smaller ships to perform reconaissance. The ship itself is unable to land on any surface with natural gravity (it survives the fall but good luck getting off) making the production and use of smaller ships a valueble tool in discovering new worlds. Incase of space pirates and other scum that the Manta Ray may encounter, the ships exterior is made out of Heavy armor and has 18 gatling as well as 4 missile turrets that would give any space pirate second thoughts about pillaging. The crew has to live together for years on end and thus the exuberant interior provides luxury for the explorers on their journey. (Considering its vanilla) The ship is designed for a crew of 12 but if needed can be piloted by one as the ships conveyor systems and production are almost fully automated. The Airlocks are also fully automated to save the irritation of pressing buttons continiously.

Title:
This ship was built to explore and to be self sufficientand thus what LDEV stands for is Long Distance Exploration Vessel and this being the third large version of the concept it was then named MK3.1 L (the .1 is becuase it had a massive systems overhaul at one point. The ship still did the same things but it was a complete mess). Laslty it is called the manta ray as that is where the shape and design of the ship comes from.
