"Hive" Light Carrier

Please see changelog for recent changes

Reasonably priced light carrier vessel that doesn't require any Zascosium or Erestrum to build. It is designed to transport several small SV / HV's or a couple of medium sized SV / HV's. Hive is a more practical alternative to much larger carriers and has two small areas in the hangar bay (behind the shutters) where you can place some extra items if you wish, such as offline protection, extra storage, etc (2 x areas with room for up to size 2x2x2 items).

Hive has a fully pressurised interior and can easily land on planets. HV's are assisted by the ramps which can be deployed using switches inside the hangar. Hangar doors open / close based on player proximity, or can be manually overriden to stay open using the various switches in the hangar.
There's also a foot entrance neatly tucked away in the centre of the ship.

Lightly armoured with a hardened steel hull and several weapons, Hive can hold its own against modest opposition and travel long distances thanks to a large number of fuel tanks.

Onboard, Hive has:

2 x Advanced Constructors
5 x T2 Fridges
1 x Food Processor
10 x T3 Fuel Tanks
3 x Interior Pop-up Sentry Turrets
1 x Gravity Generator
1 x Medic Station & one of each medical station type
1 x Warp Drive
1 x Large O2 Tank
1 x O2 Station
4 x Ventilators
8 x Passenger Seats
3 x T1 Power Generators
8 x T1 RCS'
1 x Armour Locker
6 x Large Cargo Containers
2 x Large Ammo Boxes
1 x Warp Drive
7 x Minigun Turrets
2 x Pop-up Minigun Turrets
2 x Grow Lights (There is room for you to add up to 18 Grow Pots)

Grow pots, offline protection, repair bay, repair station, repair console and two bigger rear thrusters can be added as and when required / able to afford to. You will see that I have dedicated areas to a repair bay and repair console as and when they can be afforded.

I've created a little mining vessel too, which matches the theme of this ship: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=952803791
You can fit several of them into Hive!
