PM-18b-Näkki

POLARIS SPACE INDUSTRIES PM-18b "Näkki" utility ship.

The Warp capable variant of the PM-18 Sampo. Mining turret not included to reduce requirements to serve as emergency lifeboats without refitting the blueprint. Posted by request of rainyday. All real credit goes to him: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=846083116

"In Finnish mythology Näkki was the spirit of pools, wells and bridges."

The Näkki variant is a Sampo mining vessel refitted for warp travel. Minor alterations provide a landing pad for 1 escort fighter, 2 passenger seats and a repurposed docking spine to attach light HV's to the belly for transport to mining areas.

Also used as a scout CV or lifeboat due to its unbelievably low cost and thus minimizing material loss in hazardous areas. However, it is not called the Näkki for nothing. Pilots should not be seduced by the siren call of 'minimal financial loss' while braving the risk of warping to hazardous rewards due to the complete lack of safety features of any kind.
