Sampo (Deep space Mining Rig)

Description
Sampo is a large industrial boring rig desinged to penerate hard surfaces of large, mineral rich asteroids deep within newly discovered areas. Shes very rugged, but reliable when well maintained. No delicacy here, for the Sampo is build for raw power!

Being a mining rig, she features greasy dimly light industrial hallways, maintanance catwalks, multiple hangars and loading bays, and the ability to land on 1G...thanks to its sets of folding thrusters giving it a huge thrust boost! Then of course, theres the large bore head, capable of tearing trough rock and stone!

This ship is something that i made in a span of couple of weeks, for my own survival needs on a public server. As the quality increased, i decided to douple the effort to put it here! It is build entirely using the amazing color pallet borrowed from the Cascade Shipyard on steam workshop, as well as quite lot of the desing elements being borrowed from there. As i was browsing workshop for inspiration, i knew i had to use this color pallet when i saw it!. Highly recomment checking it out!

Features:

- Large Scale mining ship, capable of drilling a large hole trough anything with a press of a button.

- Highly detailed interior, with 2 seperate ways of gravity dividing lot of the sections. Some real gravity mindtricks on this one!.

- Planetary capable, due to its ability to turn majority of its side thrust to the front. (this conversion is only recommented in 0 gravity)

- Hidden folding landing gears, for attaching to asteroids and nose landing.

- High load capacity, of 3x large containers on 10x settings. (+ 6 extra containers for space transportation)

- High Production capability.

- Cargobay with its own lift! (Operated via remote control)

- The ultimate ability to land and T pose to show dominance!



Incase theres some madlad who would actually want to build this in survival, i actually already have a 95% buildable "print kit" version of this ship. https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2511871908

@Urik Baursog Yeaaaaa

It was a huge pain in the ass for sure, but one of the focuses of the rig was the change in orintation based on where you flew it, and which compartment you were in. The engineering deck is vertical and turns the bottom of the ship into a skyline style tower of viewed from the landing orientation, while the top of the ship is very classical looking.

Another thing i like is the hangar layouts, the frontal miner bay is very standard, but the top section features pressurised hangar both on top and back of the ship.

Overall there are some things i could have done better, but it did manage to pull a pretty good standard for something that i had to build for a survival server. Doubt ill ever top this ship tbh.

My favorite thing about Sanpo is your gravity generators. I don't know how long it took you to get that how you wanted it but I feel like it was a massive pain in the ass but it is SUCH A FUCKING AWESOME FEATURE. Love to you <3

@Urik Baursog Thanks xD

Yeah unfortunately i made the lift too streamlined to fit a button panel, instead you will have to access the litft via: Character control panel -> Remote access -> Ship control panel -> find the lift from the groups and trigger the timer.

Not very userfriendly, i know...but i didnt expect the ship to hit the front page like it did :3

Once thing I can't figure out is how to operate the lift. Still figuring out this massive beast but I love it. Thank you for this!

to use this ship in survival mod you can also use the multi grid projector

"As for landing gears, theres a hinge lock toggle on the number before the timers. This lock needs to be off for it to move."

Lol I came here to ask about that. Great ship!

Thanks for the help on deploying the gears. Really love the ship. Maybe we can get some Jawas onboard.
