SS Cortez - Respawn Planetary Lander

Description
Description
Equiped with both atmospheric engines and hydrogen thrusters, this lander is capable of safe planetfall at over 300m/s from a distance of 15km.

Four full batteries and a full oxygen tank give you about 30 minutes to scout a suitable base camp location. It is also equiped with an ore detector and antenna for easy prospecting, in ship or on foot.

Cargo (Works with x1 Inventory)
Drill
Grinder
Rifle
Welder
5.56x45mm NATO magazine x 200
Hydrogen Bottle x4 (Filled)
Oxygen Bottle x 4 (Filled)

Enough Components to build these large blocks:

Arc Furnace
Assembler
Battery
Connector
Conveyor
Conveyor Tube x2
Medical Room
Merge Block x2
Oxygen Generator
Small Cargo
Solar Panel x6
Light Armor Block x10

Tips
For a safe landing, activate your hydrogen thrusters (number 3 on the hotbar) at about 7000m. If you start them too early the fuel will run out before you hit the right altutitude to get full power out of the atmospheric thrusters and you will start to fall again.

Be careful when landing in mountainous terrain. The air is thinner there and the atmospheric thrusters will not work as well.

Remember to disable the hydrogen thrusters when out of fuel as they reduce the power of the atmospheric thrusters and you will not be able to hover.

Disable the reverst thrust (number 2 on the hotbar) when travelling long distances to save power. Aim slightly below the horizon and you will coast without losing speed.

Compatibility
No modded blocks were used. Full Vanilla.
Adds itself to the list of respawn ships, does not replace them.

@Ιππότης του φως you can build it in a creative world, copy the blueprint and build a projector in your main survival world then weld it together

Is there any way to put this ship into a current game save? I'm new to using the steam workshop for this game. It would be nice if this game allowed me to place a already made ship like I would a planet or an asteroid.

Is there a version of this that will remove the factory spawn ships? Very Nice design btw!

I've redesigned this ship to work with x1 inventory weights. She holds less stuff but you should have no problems landing now.

With inventory x3 I've managed to land it in Habitable planet scenario (all vanilla, including speed limit). Had to fire Hydrogen thrusters for initial speed breaking.
I also want to ask you to provide initial cargo with some girders, so players can build small solar panels if they want to, and 1-2 hydrogen bottles would be nice too, since jetpack is now usable on planets' surface.

If you start in the PlanetaryLander then just get out of the seat and kill yourself (backspace). You can then choose a new ship from the respawn list.

How do I start off in this ship and not the default one?

I'd recommend to hold off until patch before you do any redesigning. I'm pretty sure it's a bug, maybe it'll get fixed this week :)
