MAJOR CHANGES
I've made significant modification to the tail of the DS-40. As it was, the central atmospheric thruster was destroying cargo carried underneath. I've added a second tail thruster and moved both out and away from the cargo area (the first 3 pictures show the new tail configuration, others need to be retaken). Somehow despite adding a 2nd thruster overall weight is reduced by about 5,000kg so performance is better.

I was hesitant to significantly modify a published item (normally a change like this would merit a new ship variant to be published like the A or B model) but I felt the changes fixed a significant defect in the original design and the disadvantages were almost none.

Thank you. I should probably list out my toolbars for all of my ships... I'll do this ship first when I do.

Also, that third atmospheric thruster is troublesome. I was hoping to do a redesign that keeps it on the tail but in a place that doesn't cause damage. I haven't figured out a good design so I just might have a toolbar button disable it when transporting cargo. I wouldn't prefer that since the only time you NEED the third thruster is when hauling cargo to begin with. Earlier designs had two thrusters on the tail on either side (in the fins) but far enough out so that thruster damage was a non-issue. I might try a trio of smaller ones on either side or something instead.

Firstly, this thing is awesome. I built one and i've been using it and I have a couple questions/suggestions.

1. I swapped the large atmo on the tail and the ions, beacon, camera, cargo clamps etc. so that I can use the atmo when something is clamped on. Not sure if it fits in with your vision of the ship, but maybe that would be better for other people?
2. When I built the ship the toolbar settings didn't come through property. Can you list out the toolbars for the 3 cockpits and what each thing is supposed to be so I can fix it? And for the timer block too, not sure what that's supposed to be doing.

Thanks!

Very nicely done!

Thank you :)

seems not bad :)

front page well deserved, nice work

i love it. really well thought out and desinged. 9/10

is it just me, or does this look like a halo pelican with its wings clipped?

do u think u can make a small ship like this but with a flight seat copit and interia room so i can make this a exploration with seats and tables and make a living one with a cargo port so i can attach buggies

Looks sweet!

Thank you!

Oh wow! I really like this one!
