@Urik Baursog Yeaaaaa

It was a huge pain in the ass for sure, but one of the focuses of the rig was the change in orintation based on where you flew it, and which compartment you were in. The engineering deck is vertical and turns the bottom of the ship into a skyline style tower of viewed from the landing orientation, while the top of the ship is very classical looking.

Another thing i like is the hangar layouts, the frontal miner bay is very standard, but the top section features pressurised hangar both on top and back of the ship.

Overall there are some things i could have done better, but it did manage to pull a pretty good standard for something that i had to build for a survival server. Doubt ill ever top this ship tbh.

My favorite thing about Sanpo is your gravity generators. I don't know how long it took you to get that how you wanted it but I feel like it was a massive pain in the ass but it is SUCH A FUCKING AWESOME FEATURE. Love to you <3

@Urik Baursog Thanks xD

Yeah unfortunately i made the lift too streamlined to fit a button panel, instead you will have to access the litft via: Character control panel -> Remote access -> Ship control panel -> find the lift from the groups and trigger the timer.

Not very userfriendly, i know...but i didnt expect the ship to hit the front page like it did :3

Once thing I can't figure out is how to operate the lift. Still figuring out this massive beast but I love it. Thank you for this!

to use this ship in survival mod you can also use the multi grid projector

"As for landing gears, theres a hinge lock toggle on the number before the timers. This lock needs to be off for it to move."

Lol I came here to ask about that. Great ship!

Thanks for the help on deploying the gears. Really love the ship. Maybe we can get some Jawas onboard.

Ey I really like the concept
Comrade Nikki  [author] 6 Jun, 2021 @ 5:16pm 
Aye, i think the biggest flaw with it is the lack of userfriendliness. I didnt think it would get this much attension, so the control layout is bit on the rough side. As for landing gears, theres a hinge lock toggle on the number before the timers. This lock needs to be off for it to move. Having it on makes the gears more stable, and less clangy.

Absolutely love the ship, design, functions. Really great work and artistry.

So the first couple of times I used it, I couldn't get the landing gear to deploy. Pressed the timing block, unlocked the landing gear, etc... but at one point, the ship freaked out and the atmospheric landing slats broke apart. LOL!

Not sure what happened or if I need to deploy the landing gear in a certain sequence. Any help?

Really love this ship. Will probably use it as a primary for mining operations.

@RandomGuy0400 - If I was going to guess: Because H2 thrusters are pretty cheap, have a ton of thrust, don't require exotic metals like platinum, and it allows the ship to run on the fraction of the energy of ion drives. Ice is heavy, but H2 is weightless. Reactors are heavy again. Building the ship out of simple materials makes it more "survival friendly," since you could build it on a planet and *then* go to space to core out a couple of platinum and uranium asteroids.

this was not meant to seem agressive, if it did to anyone
RandomGuy0400 6 Jun, 2021 @ 1:17pm 
if it's a deep space rig, then why does it use h2? no reason it should be moving fast or resisting gravity... so use Ions...

gib server version

It T-poses so menacingly
Locomotor79 5 Jun, 2021 @ 5:46am 
maybe you can make it hover instead off landing on the ground
Comrade Nikki  [author] 5 Jun, 2021 @ 3:24am 
@Locomotor79 You can make multigrid projections by merging the part to the main structure, after printing you just grind the merges and attach the pieces. (and pray to clang)
Locomotor79 5 Jun, 2021 @ 3:14am 
though it looks good als how do you build this ship up is it the same way as the mcrn ship

you know that mutligrids arent working for survive whit projector

@EliteZirrick Rock and stone brother!
Comrade Nikki  [author] 5 Jun, 2021 @ 1:12am 
Aye. The cargo expansions are for moving stuff in space, tough i kinda originally planned them detachable. Also yeah, the server i build it for has a 12 drill limit. Its still a beast of a miner, since it clears veins in one go!
Knor 4 Jun, 2021 @ 6:50pm 
For real, awesome work! I personally wish there were more drills so it could mine faster, but I completely understand the need to keep it performance friendly. I am curious what you had in mind for the cargo expansions, like some sort of UCU.

noniin, se näyttää hyvin suunnitellulta

Is it just me who's getting some red dwarf vibes in some of these areas of the ship?
