Using with a ore detector instead of of the turret for the public test, working great

Been working on an upgraded version that can also double as an escape pod.

@resident Bayesian
This is just a blueprint. not a mod. How ever, there should be a mod out there using this ship as main respawn ship.

(Nothing like commenting a year later)
I'm having trouble getting this to appear as a respawn ship in the respawn list, the mod isn't showing on the mod list when you create a custome game, let alone as a respawn ship. Help?

Thanks for the ship though, I love the look and the "practicality"

@nuklearweasel
Just rotors. nothing special.
Nice username btw. ;)

Really curious about those slanted solar panels in the background. Have played with this a lot and have not been able to figure out how to angle them like that.

this has given me a great idea for SE! Thanks!

Unlike you, Aragath! <3 ;p

@leonserGT well. its not perfect. ;) like all of my creations.

Yeah, because moon have low gravity :D
But I tried to leave Earth in cheapest way :P

@LeonserGT Just heard about a few guys using this ship for respawning on a moon based setting. ship has every requirement and aperantly this works great. :P

@Joshua Norton, 3x inventory size means cargo weight also divided by 3
@Aragath, try to get exact weight number :)

hey guys.
yes, it has very poor carry weight. :P
I should test the numbers some time. but building the menimum space station would require a few trips up and down the plannet.

Leonser i think this was created for only 1x inventory in mind

Since I had 10 fps on earth-like planet, I tried to build it to leave it. But how much cargo it suppose to carry? 1 refinery, 1 assembler and 1 medbay is impossible weight to lift, even with 3x inventory, even with added 2nd thruster =/

oh, then i'm wrong i guess....damn xD

@joshua Norton
Naturaly they have less health, But also lost their abillity to dent. the rest stays the same.

@Doctor Miles
While the gantry mod looks neat indeed, actually not fully constructed blocks in vanilla don't lose any integrity as far as i experienced it.
Or am i wrong here?

love the designt ideias an colloring work, but, can you make this a respawn ship?

@jimmy yup. ;)

Hmm, bet i can get out of the atmo with one thruster and a cockpit...

sweet

All it makes me think of is the movie the martian.

Should replace the unfinished blocks with the Gantry mod, would look better and it would be stronger

nice litle outpost in the backgound!

cool concept. NICE!

That would be great. They look fantastic. Would go really nice on my mars colony.

@modedout That is just background. Made it just for the picture. it all empty. But I can make a picture of the solar pannel system later and link it to you.

Can you share out the base and the solar arrays? I really like the look of them.

Maneuvering without RCS will be fun, but kind of hard, since there is no indicator what direction you are moving (unlike KSP).

@exphiser919 I dont know how much more I can make that is this cheap and stil functional. XD
I made a couple more like the shuttle, thugboat or gunboat. But thats already a lot more expensive. stil easy to build in survival though

Oo you should make more cheap ships like this.

@Whaddageek Exacly the Idea. ;) haha.
I NEED TO GET OFF PLANET!
well we have this piece of cr-I TAKE IT!

I like the cheap and nasty low-budget design of it. Someone really paid bottom-dollar to get down to the planet and back.

@Sir bulldozer
Well. Its easyer to get up then landing this thing. But I found that with a little bit of practise you can land this thing on top of platforms that maybe would just fit two of those. I just wanted to make the cheapest but still stylish looking way to get into space.
I dont realy have time to build anything bigger anyway. :P
I would personaly love if people with spawn inservers with these things as droppods.

I guess this is more of a drop pod than a shuttle since you only have a single thruster ? It must be difficult to navigate in low g with this. Anyway i subscribed because i really like your style. Keep building :)

Quite an interesting concept, nicely done :)
But i wouldn't expect less of you, to be honest here ;)

Nice i like it.
