I tried my best to max out the details on this one!

The whole point of this build was to construct something abient, invoking imagery of all those wonderful hulks of the space horror genre I love. Long corridors, dark rooms, bottomless chasms and lots of ambient lighting. Inspired by a half dozen different ships from the background of some colorful 80's sci fi anime. Also maybe a key.

Totally vanilla!

I highly reccomend lighting mods to make shadows darker for this ship.

Big thanks to Whip, MMaster, Phil for their workshop scripts!

Also (for fun)The Tengo is a ship with a story.


Among the Tengo’s many misadventures:

-Appeared briefly among the local traffic in the background of the popular music video for the song “REDWING” by the band of the same name, being filmed on location at Apache Station (famed for its 600-meter-wide viewport). The appearance is accidental however, as at the time the captain was involved in a heated argument with a port official over a docking zone payment.

-Illegally parked in the reserved docking port of a port official at Apache station, exiting system before charges were made. Class B misdemeanor under Vogar system jurisdiction.

-Asked politely to leave orbit around Dovian 6 by the Galactic Ecology Research Committee, after her first mate’s jettisoned trash entered the atmosphere and caused a stir among the planet’s primitive denizens

-A participant in the Garu-Kunari system’s annual Asteroid Derby. Came in 12th place. Crew awarded one free pizza for participation.

-Her crew’s entry into the talent show for a charity gala around Meridian unintentionally involved a comet. Needless to say, it was unintentionally spectacular.

-Through an unusual series of events involving a lost child, a misplaced work order and the ship’s cat, the Tengo ended up as part of the (orbital)airshow during planet Kolox’s Independence Day celebrations, nearly ramming three fighters, a vintage colony ship and a battlecruiser.

-Terrified the entire Aranamina royal family after cutting off their yacht while looking for an open docking port

-Shipped 1461 live puppies safely to the colony on Nadius. The descendants of said puppies are now a major part of the planet’s ecosystem.

-To date, the only ship on record to ever accidentally de-orbit a fast food restaurant.

I like the history more than the ship but it is also great!

Amazing ship! All your ships are fun to cruise the stars in!

@Dolan yeah, I locked the rotors and they are still unstable. I will remove the rest at least to get the sound to go away. Thanks!

@LeeTheFlea[GE/SWSB]
Try turning on rotor locks if they are off?

Im attempting to use this on my dedicated server, survival mode. I get a lot of crashing and noise when I move it, I removed the rotors they were freaking out and turned off thruster damage...any advice?
