Tin Bowl - Starter CV

Very nice starter CV. With v. 1.10+ you can remove the RCS saving you 75000 CPU points and changing the vessel from T2 > T1, the thrusters should give enough torque to turn the vessel fine. I would add 2x2 sentry guns on the rear and in front to protect against attacking ground enemies planetside and still keep it to T1.

i removed and moved some thrusters that you do not get heatstroked in the ship. this should make it way better for survival. overall resulted in moving a bit of stuff around.

changes:
- some chargo boxes and stuff in hangar rearranged so it stand in spots you would otherwise suffer from engines (repair station block still cause trouble, but if the station is there you can not get hurt)
- front thruster moved to bottom, which created space for weaponpoints
- included the turrets in design
- switched construtor for adv version (slight increase in overall cost together with turrets)
- reduced brithnes of some lights
- linked up the motionsensor in the livingquaters (which i forgot before)
- added 2 passenger seats, now you can bring your friends on a shitty good ride, which is the best we all know it ;)
- marked the 2 high temperature spots next to the hangar dor with rad symbols (you could remove the blocks and add cargo boxes in that corner)
- added screenshots of docked vessels

strange thing is i first had no repair station when posting it and then added one in each of my starter style ships, thinking ppls might need that early on and i forgot an important thing XD

thx very much for the tip, since i only just build in creative, having to much fun there and haven't played survival. but the goal is in the end to build stuff ppls can use.

That looks really shitty, in a good way. Great job on the design! Though you might want to remove the repair station, as it requires erestrum and zascosium, which are hard to get early game. Maybe mark the spot so people can put it there once they do get those materials.
