Deadman-A tugboat (tug) is a boat that maneuvers vessels by pushing or towing them. Tugs move vessels that either should not move themselves, such as ships in a crowded harbor or a narrow canal, or those that cannot move by themselves, such as barges, disabled ships, log rafts, or oil platforms. Tugboats are powerful for their size and strongly built, and some are ocean-going. Some tugboats serve as icebreakers or salvage boats. Early tugboats had steam engines, but today most have diesel engines. Many tugboats have firefighting monitors, allowing them to assist in firefighting, especially in harbors.

And a question remains in my head, why should a tug boat have assemblers and refinerys ??

Me-What does the definition of tugboat have to do with anything?, And its made as a starter ship

Does it have oxygen? If not, should one arc furncae be replaced by an Oxy-Gen.?

I love the design of it but I can't seem to be able to build it with a projector.. might just be because I haven't messed with projectors before but I think it would do well as a starter ship for people who like to use the asteroids scenario.

ok fair enough, nice build btw !

@deadman Because, with all the lack of knowlegde I posses without shame, I found it a fitting name for his looks. And because I coudn't come up with a better one within the window that is my patience.

@HashtagMC it is the faction / company name. Im stil toying with the words but I do like the word. its memerable and ofcourse a bit of a joke. right now it stance for realiable utilities & salvage techonolgies. but again, stil toying with it.

MikeVoltage 15 Oct, 2015 @ 2:09am 
I really like the "minmatar style" design

Could you make this a mod for the starter ship by any chance? It be fun for those ecapades in the fringe, where the default starter ship sticks out like a lemon to be pirated.

Nice!
Insanitoid 12 Oct, 2015 @ 8:52am
