[SMI] Nomad - Bomber

Description

For the veteran pilots of SMI, the Nomad is a ship that many aspire to fly one day. The Nomad comes equipped with 2 underslung railguns and 4 Gatling's, however its main weapon are the 2 Welder-Missile setups on each side. With 2 Medium cargo containers the ship will be able to carry enough resources to sustain itself without the need of a mothership, typically being allocated an even amount of ammo, components & ice. Uniquely, the cockpit is custom built instead of using the standard design, it is fully pressurized and littered with displays to satiate ones thirst for pure data.

Although at its best in space, the ship is also capable of flying on planets with its varied thrusters, allowing for the ship to be launched from planetary installations if need be.

Remember you can look around when in the cockpit by holding 'Alt'!
Instructions for how to use the missiles are on LCDs to your side.

This ship is perfectly fine to use in survival, it has no subgrids and I've calculated the optimum amount of Ice, components and ammo you should stock the ship up with, which you can see on the Inventory LCD's. Note that these were calculated for 'Realistic' Size Inventories, you can fit far more components on the different world settings.
I've tried to consider every aspect of this ship and create a good balance of power, fuel and thrust. The ship has most thrust in the forward direction and decent Strafing speed. Everything is conveyored, for placing components you'll need to use the small access point on the underside of the ship, in the cargo between the welders. If you are smart with your cargo allocation, you can fit in more missile components than the normal max of 10 on realistic settings. Ice and ammo can placed anywhere, advise to use the connector as extra storage as well.

Although this ship wasn't built to be effective in combat on planets, it is capable of flying on them, tested up to 9.8 m/s gravity (earth), be wary of added cargo when on anything above realistic inventory settings. Note that the missiles won't work, this ship is at its best when in space.
