Go for it

hello i wanted to ask if i can publish a small variant of your ship. I found your ship for many years in an encounter 2015 or 2016 (since you had to look for ships visually)

Beautiful ship. Simple, elegant, believable and very useful. One of my favorites.

It uses HSV still and it has hex color codes, i'll figure it out, thank you :)

Does Space Engineers use RGB now or is it still HSV? I haven't played in years

I found an old text file with a custom palette in it, this is probably what I used:

Ive commandeered two of ur ship in my survival game, and im trying to find the color of yellow you used in hex so i can retrofit the ships with a merge block, could you possibly give me the hex code it used?

Oop, sorry; lightly modded but nothing critical will break without them. It's also a survival ship, so if there are some scrapes and dings... Well, that's why.

Outlander vs Duchessa trades: number of supported drones, some processing, and some production ability for better maneuvering (slightly lower forward acceleration though), more cargo space, weapons, oxygen system, and a jump drive.
Anyway, I finally actually looked at who the creator was... And it was the one who made the Homeworld skyboxes I enjoyed for the first time when beginning the playthrough that resulted in the Outlander. How about that??
Here, I don't usually upload stuff to the workshop, but in case you're interested I uploaded it just for you : )

Both have similar aspects to outlines, almost identical dimensions, off-center primary control stations, a single antenna (forward and below, no less), primary cargo access from the bottom, primary entrance at the rear-right, very similar positionings on the thruster groups, both have orange and green exterior lights, and even feature dark blue and grey in their color schemes (Duchessa adds its primary yellow, Outlander adds primary olive)! Both are drone carriers, rather than carrying mannable(?) craft...
I feel like overall, the Duchessa has a very clear purpose in the design, and is very clean about it. I like that a lot. The Outlander is more flexible, and more organic due to its survival-oriented creation, which is also cool.

Greetings! I bring a tale of (to me) entertaining coincidence!
While I have yet to run into this ship in survival, I just discovered it on the workshop, maybe an hour ago. I very much liked the look of it, and it meets and exceeds many of my preferred design requirements for building in SE... And I always love the idea of a drone carrier.
But then, I began to think... This ship is very similar to the ship I built and am currently using in my latest survival game, the HGF Outlander. Very similar. I then spawned both into Creative side by side...

came across this playing solo with a ship spawning mod.. this ship is absolutely amazing i love it.

Thanks!

Been playing SE right from early days & am still finding ships I've never seen before that were added years ago... this one for example! Where have they been hiding all this time?!
Great design. Looks like what a ship should look like. Love it! Belated congratts on getting featured!

When you find this in survival, it will have discharged batteries. You probably want to turn all the batteries off when you first load the large reactor.

I love the Duchessa, it's one of two ships i never grind down if i find them drifting in space.

Found this ship on my survival game, fell in love pretty quickly. Now I just have to arm it.

Awesome, thanks man!

Go for it. All my blueprints are here to be used.

Hi Stone Cold Jane Austen, I built a collection of blueprints of designs included in Space Engineers, and since one of them is yours I want to ask if its ok if I can include it in the collection? All credit goes to origional authors. I'm merely just trying to keep everything in one place. The collection is here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=695392057

cant you please update this with an oxygen and hydrogen system (mostly thinking of people finding it in the world) if not thats perfect cause i found in in survival

Came accross this ship travelling from the Alien Planet to the Martian one in game and was being attacked by an SPRT station so I'm attempting to restore her. Not much damage, mostly to the aft section. A very nice ship you've built!

That's odd, it shouldn't use that much power.

Found this in exploration mode... was a power hog with uranium... :( took 100 ingots in 20 min... I ended up making it scrap but it was fun to play with for that 20 min!

ok sorry

In case nobody's told you yet, some player-designed ships have been included in the game and can be found randomly drifting. I'm lucky enough that Keen thought my ship worthy of inclusion.

and no i am not 10 years old i didnt know that its was someons else ship

nice
i have the same one

The guy's probably like 10 years old, I can't get mad at that.

(lol)

Also trying to rename it after being called out on it: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=532427662

FYI someone is trying to pass off your work as his: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=532443545

nice ship. I found it as exploration ship in my survival world.

I use the autpilot mod and was wondering if it would be possible to get a custom ship close to this but have it built so it is all cargo with only the 1 refinery setup to only take in uranium and the rest of the ship be almost nothing but cargo. Then alter the docking area to be just 4 spots so they are each a 5x5 area so my miners can dock without hitting each other (they are a bit bigger than the normal miner). This way I can use it as a base to have all of my miners return to. then I can have this set up with another script to tell when it is full so it can stay on location until it is full and has all 4 miners docked with full loads then it can fly to a refinery base at a location 15km away to drop the entire load.

It's cool, knock yourself out. I share these things for people to use.

I've posted a Remodel/Refit of one of your Duchessa under the Title Argo.

If you wish I can remove the file at any time, and have also credited you in the description for the original design.

Thanks for all the comments, everyone. I will be back from my holiday shortly and hope to be up and running again within a couple of weeks, ready to start work on an updated version with oxygen, a sealed hangar, and all the other new features that have been added since January.

Thanks for the inspiration. Found a couple of these and used the top parts of 1.5 of them to fill out the top of my mom: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=449144724

I have also just found this beauty of a ship also a little red fighter was next to it. Love both.

Found this ship floating derelict, and I have to say, I love it. She's compact, but very well-designed, and manages to be both performance-friendly and effective as a mobile base. Excellent work!

Found this ship after moving 30k from starting point, only problem I had was the connector wont activate. After grinding down one step and rebuild it. It finally worked

Well Done on the add into the game, i knew i followed you for a reason

I found your ship during exploration mode. Congrats on making it into the game! Here is a snapshot of the blue-print that I captured:

gratz on the inclussion

Recognized this from those few seconds of screentime, I'll be sure to pick up one of these when it drifts by

Gratz on this making it into the derelicts library!

Nice work on the color scheme and use of lighting to distinguish different rooms.

Smashing, just tried the new drones and everything seems to be working just fine (except I don't have the small landing gear mod, but that wasn't an issue of course). No problems with docking or launching after taking ownership, and I even cut REV1 open to see how it was put together, then put it back together and rebuilt it as a lightly-armed attack drone. No problems at all with the new model, and I even removed the reactor from the RAV1 so it's completely battery-powered now.

Not entirely sure why everything was so wrong before and so right now, but I'm sure not complaining! Thanks again for your excellent work, you continue to be my favorite modder for this game. Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving =)

No, the reactor is only supposed to be there for first docking when I build the things, and emergencies. It should not be required at all in general operation.
Can you please try one of the new drones and tell me if they have the same problem?

Yes, I have ownership of both the ship and the drones. One problem in particular that seems to happen every time I try to launch a drone using the launch timer is that the reactor either shuts down or remains off (?), which requires me to walk outside and power it up from the keypad before I can take control. Likewise, the reactor seems to need to be online in order for the drones to be powered, even if the batteries are charged and set to provide power. Is this normal behavior for the game?

I've removed the drones from the blueprint as they had to be connected to be part of it, but taking ownership required launching them first then taking ownership of each separately.
