Imperial Clipper - Elite Dangerous Themed Vessel

Description
Attila the Huney Badger and Gutamaya Corporation are proud to present the Avarice, a Clipper class vessel.

The Avarice is equipped with a lift docking pad for small service craft, several VIP quarters, as well as an second class passenger area which could be easily converted into refinery and assembly space.
The Avarice is also equipped with a Class 8 FSD, which allows for travel speed of ~1km/s. Use this at your own risk however (the pistons/rotors make fast acceleration risky).

I still recommend you give the FSD a try, however, it's a very cool system. First the FSD engines will begin to spool (you can tell this is happening by the blinking lights on the exhaust platforms; they'll speed up). You'll hear the engine rumble, and then after around 40 seconds or so the ship will engage hyperdrive acceleration at a fast rate. There is an FSD charge down block which will restore the ships functions to normal. Red alert is active during the FSD.

In addition to the Imperial Clipper I also included a similiar vessel on a small ship grid, the Fortuna. Classified as an Imperial Cutter, the Fortuna is a one crew vessel that is good at making long range trips to distance asteroids. It will have to return to a mothership/station for processing though. The Fortuna is equipped with a class 6 FSD, which allows for faster maximum travel than its larger brother (no pistons or rotors present). The FSD engages in a similiar way with a spooling process. I have attained 10km/s safely (that's a heck of a lot faster than 104m/s =) ).

The ships are fairly mod intensive, I apologize for that. But these ships are more of a personal project that I decided to upload, and I like them the way they are. The last two screenshots are the mod list.

If Elite Dangerous isn't your thing, but Star Trek is, check out my Star Trek themed vessels, found HERE.

Attila, this is what happens when a game is forever being updated, what used to work sometimes gets corrupted and we, the quality control, will bitch about it and they will fix it. Well I hope. lol

ED fan and i really like the design. sure a modern one would be cool, but in going to keep trying to moderize this old one. ill see i like yours or mine better afterwards.

wow lol, sorry about all you've had to go through. Are you an Elite Dangerous fan or do you just really like the design? I can try to make a modern version w/o the issues, but I'll admit my ships of late have not looked like the Clipper, haha.

no it really dosent load, had to export the model with SEtoolbox, then put it in a blank world. its gonna take awile to restructure the rear end, as it got torn apart when it was moved. but other then that, its gonna be a awesome spawn ship. heh heh.

Hey Aspire, I forgot about this ship >.<

It's been awhile since I've even attempted to load it, does it even still work?

If you're going for pure vanilla idk what will happen to the armor. They were made w/the armor ramp mod before vanilla armor slopes came out iirc.

You can forget that complicated FSD thing I made since we have jumpdrives in vanilla now though ;)

Good luck, let me know how it goes!

Hey guys, im currently Outfiting this ship for Vanilla play. Thx to Attila. the ship looks awesome, but this is gonna take awile.

Yes, but the ship would still load, correct? Just w/o the affected blocks. Whenever I paste a ship of mine that is missing one mod I just push okay to the error message and it pastes it w/o the missing block. However, that's for my own blueprints and such, not from one on the workshop. I don't know, I just know these used to work.

My Star Trek themed ship had some 3,000 subscribers and a bunch of people commenting saying they liked the ships, and then all the sudden no one can load it anymore, but it still loads fine for me (probably because I already have the mods). I don't know what has happened to change the uploads...

I'll check my blueprints but the problem is if the mods that are used in the ship's contruction aren't in the world it is being pasted those mods parts won't be added. Stupid really, if only the mods can be included in the blueprint.

Hmm. Then I don't know, I'll have to look at it. Someone complained about that on my Star trek themed ships as well, so it might be that something's gone wrong and these WORLDS are being treated as BLUEPRINTS, idk.
