VCZ Small Respawn Ships - Space and Atmosphere

Description
A set of two Small Respawn Ships with the bare minimum required to survive and build a base.

Requires my VCZ Small Ship Master Pack.

WARNING!
This mod will remove all of the vanilla respawn ships.

Both ships have almost identical layout and the same utilities on board. Those include:
1 small ship assembler
1 small ship refinery
1 medium reactor (with 5 uranium ingots in it)
1 small ship medical station (no respawn option, only heal, recharge energy and refuel O2 and H2)
1 medium cargo container
1 oxygen tank
1 oxygen generator (for the Space version it includes 2700kg ice)
1 beacon
1 ore detector
1 spotlight
Only for the atmospheric version:
1 battery (because it's needed)
1 air vent (set to depressurize)
1 camera facing down (to look for ore deposits and rocks on the ground)

Update for the Space version:
Added basic tools, weapon and ammo along with 1 oxygen and 1 hydrogen bottle. Everything is inside the cargo container.

An update for the Atmospheric version will follow shortly

The medical station is only for healing and recharging. You can NOT respawn in it if you die. The basic idea is you need to keep moving until you can gather enough resources to settle down in one spot and be able to defend it.

How to use:
Start a new Custom World in "Star System" scenario and you will start with the Atmosphere version in a planet's gravity field.

Start a new Custom World in "Habitable Planet" or "Asteroids" scenario and you will start with the Space version outside of the planet's gravity field (or without a planet at all).

What about putting 1 large atmo between the refinery/assembler and the forward area of the ship?

You can run small conveyor around [or over] the thruster to save space and still transfer ice, o2/h2, ingots, ore, and anything else that will fit through small tubes.

I would suggest to put the thruster on the rear but you still have the issue of how to place the other stuff once you remove it to mount the thruster.

Let me see what I can do myself and I will post them for you to take.

When I made these the main idea was for them to be really small. Two large Atmo thrusters are huge. :)

I would just add a battery and small non-mod reactor to ion type and remove line of small atmo thrusters and add 2 large atmo thrusters to the atmot type

Yeah, I have neglected these for a really long time... They could also be upgraded with my new cockpit and maybe even a couple of other things.
Their time will come, eventually. ;)

No power on ion type and not enough thrust on atmo type.

Fix(s) for ion type:
#1 add 1-2 battery
#2 replace reactor with non-mod type

Fix for atmo type:
#1 replace line of small thrusters with 1 large thruster
#2 remove line of small thrusters from center, move other stuff inward, add 2 large thrusters to sides

There seems to be something wrong with it and it doesn't spawn a reactor. I have been told about this bug but I haven't had time to check it out and fix it yet. I hope I can do that soon.

It just me or does the space version not spawn with any power?

New update:
Redesign of the Space version. Included my oxygen and hydrogen tanks, removed the vanilla oxygen tank. Added character tools, weapon and ammo + oxygen and hydrogen bottles.

I decided against adding the Enhanced cockpit concept for this version of the respawn ships. I might make a separate mod with it included. For this I prefer to only use mods that I have control over.

OK that's what I needed to know. So hand tools and bottles will be added.
