So I have been using this on our play through. Well not only me, rather many of my faction as well. This said, we regularly discuss the pro's and con's of the Mk.II and how best to upgrade it.

If you don't mind, there are a few upgrades we all did right off the start, as we felt they are just purely needed.

1) Added a boarding ramp to the central corridor between the middle bays. This just removes the hassle of boarding only from the rear.

2) The lift thrust, while good, can be a challenge to upgrade if you don't take it into creative and just dig into it to make sure you don't mess up. Also it would be nice to be able to upgrade the forward lift thrusters to increase pitch. Side thrust would also be nice to be able to be upgraded as well.

3) The hanger, while nice early game is a bit small mid-late game. If the hanger was about 6-10 blocks longer, it would be amazing. This is just something a few of us think, as we have a few tanks and tree harvesters and such.

4) The 2 side gen bays, while nice for sure, could be slightly better if there was the option to add 1 adv. gen in place of the 2 large ones later in the game.

5) Braking thrust. I point to this by itself because it is a bit weak from the get go and is super hard to upgrade w/o just messing up the rather nice look of any place we can find to sink them. Once you start filling up the cargo and have all 6 bays, she tends to stop like a freight train.

Now by no means is this me complaining, but rather trying to give feedback based on 4 players who actually love this ship. These are just what we commonly discuss about how to maximize it for our style.

Thanks for the great build and I hope many others have as much fun using this as we have.
