HTCV-Privateer

The Privateer is HazzTek's newest offering. This capital ship is aimed at pilots you want a capital ship that isn't just a giant flying box. This capital vessel's design was inspired by our Atlas and Instigator small vessel offerings. The ship is still somewhat experimental and new owners should expect changes and fine tuning as more testing and mileage is put on the chassis. We're releasing the ship early to get it out there. We plan on other versions of this ship, perhaps a extended deployment version that has a garden in it.

The Privateer's main role is as a transport/trading/exploration and reconnaissance. The internal hanger has space to fit several small vessels or HV. The front access port is specifically designed to allow access for a Ladybug or similar sized and shaped hover vessel. This ship does not have a garden.

We've started integrating the new logic systems and triggers in to out ships. No more awkward boarding ramps, they will now deploy and retract automatically when you approach.

The Privateer handles nicely for a CV, our test pilots often find them selves doing barrel rolls in atmosphere. There's plenty of thrust pushing the 42kt class 4 vessel.

Intended for PVE use, the privateer's average armour thickness is 2 blocks and the whole thing is combat steel. While the ship does not come armed, there is plenty of space for turrets and non-turret weapons for you to customize the load out. Plenty of ammo storage to support the guns.

There is a 5x9 hanger in the rear of the ship and a 3x3 access hatch in the front, both fitted with automated loading ramps. The front ramp allows access for a Ladybug type HV.

We've placed a control switch next to the cockpit for closing the large hanger door. Seems hangers these days like to not close or is often left open from manual activation. Just cycle the switch(turn on and then off again) to reset the door. Red on the switch indicates closed state.

The hanger is roomy with room for 2-3 SuperDragon sized small vessels or Hvs. There's even room for some Pack-Mule storage modules in the hanger too or just a few more cargo containers.

We put in a emergency secondary cockpit in the back, just in case.

There's a on board workshop with three advanced constructors and two food processors, repair station and armor locker. There are some parts of the ship that need more refinement, but I wanted to leave a little space incase in needed to add some items.

The control panel has shortcuts for thruster control and other groups allowing you to manage your fuel use.

Give it a try and let us know what you think. We love your input and I often incorporate ideas from your comments. In fact this project was inspired by commentators!
