Argent Cargo Ship (Blueprint)

This is the Blueprint for my Argent Trade & Cargo ship.

This is an updated version of the ship that includes:

The Argent
Docked & Merged Dropship (turned off for safe travel)
Connected & Locked Tugs 2x inside the Main Hangar
One type of each POD

1x LC-POD (Large Cargo Container)
1x H-POD (Hydrogen Tank)
1x C-POD (Colonist/Cryogenics)
1x G-POD (Garage or Hangar for small ship)
1x G2-POD (Double-wide version of the Garage POD)
1x F-POD (Factory pod with refineries, furnace and assemblers)
1x O-POD (Oxygen production & Storage)

Functional Changes:

- Removed ALL rotors, they would cause strange results in flight and after jumps
- Added working airlocks for both port and starboard main entrances
- Added Main Hangar Decompression Sequence (with lights)
- Added Maintenance Bay Hangar Decompression & Recompression Sequence (with lights and LCD signs)
- Added Button Panels for all Cargo Junctions to manually switch locks and merge/unmerge cargo
- Added LCD instructions for all Cargo Junction Points
- Added LCD Cargo Index List for Top & Bottom Cargo Sections (so you can keep track of what is where)
- Added Cameras around the ship
- Added a few sensors here and there for things, mostly opening doors
- NEW Factory POD type
- NEW Oxygen POD type

Cosmetic:

- slightly improved paint job on Argent
- improved paint jobs on all containers
- Added navigational lights around ship
- Unfortunately had to remove my spiffy rotor radar dish...was causing issues after jump (rotors not fixed)
- Tried replacing small rotor parts with large hoping they'd hold but no go same as above...causes ship to completely wig out after jump so I removed them all. Conference rooms have no tables (sorry).

Tested and working:

- Ship moves (pretty quickly actually) and does not break (no rotors or pistons)
- Ship Jumps at just under 12 million kg it'll go about 500,000 meters in a single jump (not too shabby) the less it carries the further it goes. Without cargo attached it was jumping about 2,500,000 meters.
- Dropship can land on planets and can power itself back into orbit.
- Tugs are more than capable of moving PODs around (although treat them gentle like)
- Tugs were tested in hangar connector and LG locked...made the jump.

Not tested might need more work:

- The shuttle's atmospheric capabilities (not tested at all, totally experimental at this point)
- The dropships ability to carry cargo off planet fully loaded (tested empty)

Airlocks:

How do I get in?

As a safety feature to the crew onboard the Argent the main airlocks into the ship, located both port and starboard just above and behind the main hangar will lock from the inside. If you spawn outside you'll have to turn the door back on before you can enter.

Once you're inside turn the door back off so you don't confuse the sequence and then use the buttom panels to repressurize/depressurize from then on out. Red light means no air, green means you are good to go.

In the hangars, Red flashing lights mean no air. No lights means all good.

The entire main hangar is airtight so if you close the doors you can work in there without issue.

So that's it for now. Thanks for the great feedback everyone.
