Thanks for the heads up to replace that thinner block. I think when I designed it, the half-blocks offered the same HP as full blocks at a lower weight (Or I did not realize that they had less HP back then)

In my personal use of the PAC I attached a couple more constructors on the sides of the ModularStorage after placing it. There was enough space on the sides, limit there was just the narrow door that I did not want to make wider due to it being a weakspot. This way players can constantly produce whatever resource they have stored (Concrete block grind: 2 SV constructors in parallel = 1 large or even adv. constructor).

I actually built a Pocket-Battleship on a whim yesterday that I still need to run a few paces before painting and uploading it. This one will have a advanced constructor, offline protection and many, many turrets (maybe 1 turret less than a survival game allows to spawn) at maybe 50% increased length and twice the volume.

Oh yeah, I had omitted it, since there is one in the ModularStorage unit, that provides this feature and more at the same volume of a CV o2 Station. It bugs me that some CV&BA parts are so huge compared to SV/HV parts without providing any advantage over the smaller versions.

One other thing I noticed, but it's easily fixed: there's no O2 station. Between the two passenger seats right in front of the warp tank makes a nice spot. I also replaced the block under it for more of a solid block, although I love the original design choices you made here! It looks clunkier my way, but it adds a nice feature. This ship is solid for such a small CV! Aesthetically, you nailed it. A nice little personal ship to pound around in!

Thanks Savinwraith, I will look them up.

I am not the best to ask about ship design, I am not that good at ships. My thing is more along the lines of bases. Looks good though.
For ship advice or review you should talk to Kieve, Zero-G, or SpaceHeinz

Yeah, send me a link and we build it together.

I was leaning the same way with a destroyer that I've started working on. I have the majority of engineering and main thrusters finished, but that's it. Interested in using that as a starting point?

Thanks JRS! Too bad HVs don't shoot while docked, since I also made a dockable defense module for this that is now out of order.

I think my next coop ship will have armored SV modules for more forward facing firepower.

The modular storage is badass in this! I really like the color scheme and overall exterior design, and a good use of space for such a small carrier.
