Updated on 5/31/22- added heat sinks, removed excess batteries, added more fuel rod spares, added yaw thrusters, removed gen script for a simple pinned number, removed warp core, added crafting tables, added cabin floor, removed broken buttons from dash Price dropped to 2,000,000 credits for BP due to this old design not meeting my current quality standards. Be aware this ship is functional, but not super polished. Original Description: Tired of making multiple trips? Do you need something that can get through the belts intact? Want to make your friends envious of your supreme power? Dragon_Ventures has you covered! Introducing the DragonHoarder1136 (H) Designed from the ground up to be extremely durable, repairable, and to get your cargo to far away destinations safely. This ship is designed for big companies moving huge amounts, or wealthy solo players looking for the best on the market. The entry price is high, but the payoff is only a couple runs away! Build your hoard like a pro! Over 40 hours of Min-Maxing the editor's build limits has delivered this creation to reality. It features an enclosed engineering section to ensure your explody bits stay unexploded, and ablative beam structures on the front to keep your critical systems in working order for any chance impacts. Ducting is bolted double the normal amount to reduce time spend repairing. Crates are arranged in a protective buffer all around your core thruster and system. The Asteroid Avoidance YOLOL has been revamped to increase the effectiveness. The cross section was carefully maintained to ensure the ship can avoid threats before they even get into one of the 240+ rangefinders paths. The asteroid avoidance system is a "Pause and strafe" style system, it checks in 3 sections (top mid, bottom) and then strafes away from the detected threat. For Top and Bottom, it cuts forward power while it maneuvers, and resumes old thrust level once clear. For the middle section, it pitches the ship down slightly, and does not cut power to main engines (however this pitch may trigger the Top section power cut and strafe). after a short pause to allow the vector to change away from the middle detected threat, the ship resumes the old heading. Known shortcomings of the system as it stands are that it may strafe at low speed (<25 m-s) into a threat on the top or bottom in unlucky circumstance, but this is an edge case scenario, and the ship is robust enough to just bounce off these with little care. Features: -Avoidance YOLOL with dense checkerboard pattern for comprehensive coverage of threats. -Avoidance YOLOL display, designating when system is active, what action is being taken, stats for number of activations on current trip, and lifetime of ship. -1 20 ring Plasma main drive, with 92 supporting T2 Triangle thrusters. -24 T2 Triangle thrusters for PITCH, ROLL and Up-Down Strafe -NO BRAKES. ship is designed to point towards destination and let 'er rip. -147 M-s empty, strength 1.028 -135 M-s with common ores (14,000 weight) -126 M-s with Exorium (24,600 weight) -1136 capacity for ores. -Turtle, Cruise modes. -MONO Isan 2.5 -Transponder -High cable&pipe budget and still over 1000 bolts available for repairs. -Critical systems are able to be accessed in most cases for repair. Stuff that is not accessible is buried in crates and unlikely to be damaged. -3 resource ports. One for pilot and general use, 2 in engineer bays near back exit with in/out flow buttons for double duty as tanker (roughly 40 million propellent extra will remain once fuel rods are exhausted) -10 generator modules, with 6 t2 units per generator. -50 backup fuel rods, giving approx 2588 km range. -Open "air" control section, with double pane glass to avoid "asteroid-in-face" syndrome -2 passenger seats at the control section. -1 "suicide seat" on a pole at the rear. not protected by AA YOLOL. For those that have more bravery than sense, or do it for the memes. Nice views though! -Non default color scheme of Red, Black and gold. Subject to change from Images. Cost: Need more details? Message me on discord at Tegxra#0836. I will have a model ship to tour soon and allow for test drives and demonstrations within the Safe Zone.

!Heat Ready! Designed as a support vessel for the LLROE fleet, this ship excels in it's job as both a fuel tanker, and a search and rescue ship. Features include: - 90 million propellant in cargo tanks, 8 million in main drive tanks - Automatically toggled fuel controls, so you don't burn your cargo traveling, and don't transfer your main drive tanks to your target - Space for up to 18 extra fuel rods - Automated fuel transfer system, to maintain balance and not end up with an off-axis center of mass - Integrated ISAN 2 Quad and waypoint system - Intuitive MFDs with detailed status reports on your ship - Easy access to all ship internals, for repairs if necessary - Asteroid avoidance system - Easy to bolt on ore stacks for repairing others if necessary, can support up to 16 ore stacks with minor speed penalties - Extensive YOLOL automation, for ease of use

I've done my best to make it work well and be fast using all the technical knowledge Y.T can teach! The ship has the slightest roll but as far as I can tell in test mode it only affects roll and not your trajectory. This is unnoticeable after leaving origin. Everything on this ship is used to balance it so it will fly well. (move it and risk it all)

(SHIP IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING TESTING WITH BUGFIXES AND HEAT MECHANIC) Hello everyone, First off, thank you to everyone in the community who has helped me with all the questions here and there. There is a lot to know and learn in this game and I would not have completed this ship without the communities help! This is the 4th iteration of the original ship that I started with. It has 774 Solar Panel's that I have seen peak over 17,000 which is around 13.6 free generator's and no added heat! I have been mining at the Moon with this ship and have been mining purely off solar, and never touch the fuel rods. Obviously this is circumstantial, but its been my experience playing and flying this ship for the past two weeks. I have been out mining with it in Zone5 before this iteration and it was able to do over 2200km without needing to refil propellant. With this current iteration, I have made several modifications to it. Updated Asteroid Approaching so you can point at an Asteroid and have the ship take you to it safely with visual indicators Upgraded all Generators and Fuel Chambers from T2 to T3. Added additional coverage on Enhancers for heat reduction and fuel rod efficiency. Added 4 additional Robotic mining arms that retract/extend from within the body of the ship. Added additional range finders to blind spots I found by smashing into asteroids. Updated the ISAN to v4 which supports 15 Waypoints "I know v5 is out, but I personally hardily use it." Refined the Status screen to show errors, warp class, and status on mining bay doors opened or closed. Added the 'Wiggle' system, which makes the mining arms wiggle :) "You can turn this off to force the lasers to converge for manual use" Added safety features to ensure mining arms do not activate from within the belly of the ship when its retracted. Refined the efficiency of the ship further. Added laser velocity control "how fast it moves side to side" So what is this ship and why is it called the Drake? For those that have played Star Citizen, you will know Drake. Drake makes solid ships that well, don't look the best! It may not look like an Origin ship, but man is it functional. With previous versions of this ship I have smacked head on into asteroids with the Plasma's engaged going around 130m/s at the time "speed depends on what you are hauling" and the worst that happened was I lost a solar panel. This ship has been very good to me, and it is capable of getting out there several thousands of Kilometers. Stats on ship can be found here: https://starbase.codes/ship_calc?d=XQAAAAKkAAAAAAAAAABu__43tIT8BajB_dXx72XfazfOGSYXGWlpMVaIWV5ETMtzMrj7PFkI9CPagQ4SAtT35AAZkTl8z16eA_16MRS2xsJzrbBbjev6zet_eGSN5Rjh81-oyqFoPGbc3EbGybyBlHwz9eabSK-_QhTo2Ba85w5oQQ_czwscNThkx0wyTugq70iUgQRluO26lHCcf_-UkwAA Keep in mind those flight time numbers are based on 100% use and without Yolo script efficiency aid. Also the max speed when loaded also depends on what you are hauling. I have seen varying speeds 'using the transponder method' of 120~130m/s consistently. This is a great ship for being able to get out there, do some mining or exploring. Ship is not being sold as BP, the "1" that was placed in the listing was to satisfy the listing criteria. Again I am not selling the BP.

https://www.youtube.com/@ColtStarbase/videos This ship is not really a ship it is a pallet. It was designed to be towed by a powerful ship like an M1 or an R4 for example. This pallet remains a real ship, so it can maneuver and be moved over this short distance in your station or your capship. Very useful to unload your CS.

Latest variant of the Ghast, now with 20 missiles for bombardment. Since its release the Ghast has been used as my test bed for missile and torp testing before committing to a specific new design. When the 5 pod launcher was finally added, they easily attached to the Ghast, and was very reliable (for missiles anyway). The default scout variant has also been updated with some of the new additions made on the launcher variant. //Download// https://github.com/Open-Source-Armada/OSA-Ghast-Mk2 //Specs// Comes unarmed for scouting or with 20 missiles for bombardment. LaunchMissile+ and LaunchTube+ are your missile triggers, bind both to the same key, this system uses no yolo and is a simple way to cycle and launch missile tubes. CenterSensePlus and CenterSenseMinus is your standard sensitivity, Adjust both to your preferred flying sensitivity. AimMax- and AimMin- is your Aim hotkey, Bind both to the same keybind, this will lower your sensitivity, Adjust MinSensePlus and MinSenseMinus to change Aim sensitivity. AimMax+ and AimMin+ is your Boost hotkey, Bind both to the same hotkey, this will raise your sensitivity, Adjust MaxSensePlus and MaxSenseMinus to change Boost sensitivity. Ship is set to both fly and aim at a smooth sensitivity (tune to your taste), Aim keybind lowers the limits for sniping, Boost keybind removes these limits allowing for faster pitch/yaw. 150 m/s max speed using T2 manoeuvre thrusters, no trails. 104255.96 kg in weight without missiles, 131225.469 kg armed with missiles. Two small prop tanks for 2 million prop, 1 hours 10 mins estimated flight time. One T1 fuel chamber + Two T1 generators, gens idle at 14.5% for 8 hours 30 mins idle time, estimated flight time 2 hours 30 mins. Basic script for current Fuel/Prop times. Uses basic FCU, roll is performed using Roll_Left and Roll_Right buttons, this is to allow fast handling by isolating the roll thrusters from the FCU/MFC. //Tactics// Despite the very hindersome bugs launchers and their munitions have, the 5 pod launcher is surprisingly reliable. Reliable enough for them to be mounted onto the cheap, fast and stealthy hull of the Ghast, making it a fun and easy way to deploy the max amount of missiles onto a target. Unfortunately all missiles/torps have a chance of failure on launch due to bugs, and the ordinance itself is well known to fail at hitting moving targets, limiting there use. Where I personally see use, even if bugs are fixed, is in station bombardment and breaching. Small or large bombers may be a key aspect to siege warfare, and thus I believe small, cheap and stealthy bombers will be very valuable in the possible future. The Ghast has excellent range for a tailless ship, and can carry all its missiles at max speed. Low tech components keep the potentially one way mission more cost effective, missiles are only cheap to a point. Could possibly be used to ambush stationary ships, like surface miners.

Hyperion Trading Co. Bringing you the New MP or Moon Platform Ship Series! This is the Hyperion Locust Lite! We are using new ways to help us land and VTOL off the moon! This is an Ultralite capable of 150ms in VTOL mode. Standard travel mode is slow and easy and up to 60ms. This unique craft is meant to get you to the moon through warp gates or by printing at Arma. The Locust has enough fuel to make it to the Moon Gate and land on the Moon or enough for a one-way trip. You can pack extra fuel rods and a Fuel canaster to help extend your range! The Adjustable hover script will stop you "Hopefully" in a balanced flight mode to help you easily maneuver down. Still in testing but very responsive! Simple Lightweight craft is meant for any endo to print and dispose of! meaning it's great for new players too!

This is something I threw together based on my old, wildly customized laborer. I got some help from THK and SilentSymphony in order to make the generators. I will probably upgrade this with ISAN and such in the bigger version. Otherwise, this is a cheap blueprint because I just want to see other people enjoy it. This is a slow, casual ship. It's completely unpractical, and essentially a show ship. I don't know why you would want this. The only reason it costs anything is so that I can know when you buy it, to see if you would want me to make a bigger and better version. If you ask I will give it to you free of charge.

# JPTech Bolt ## Introduction : The ship is extremely defensive. The pilot's seat uses a slider, which in rare cases becomes like an automatic ejection seat in the event of an explosion. ## Visibility : As the ship has limited up and down visibility, it is recommended to pursue the enemy in the Yaw direction. ## Armour : As mentioned above, it is highly defensive and the vital areas are covered with triple plates. The sides are equipped with sacrificial armour, which guarantees protection with a small thickness. ## Weapons : It is equipped with two laser cannons. ## How to buy Bolt 1.

Tournament winning 1k joust fighter, with 4 rails with staggered charge and max speed. Piloted by myself and Scipion during the Starbase 3vs3 Ship PVP Tournament. Hits hard, fly's fast and can take punishment with its min-maxed armour. //Specs// Three Bp's provided, 1k tourney variant, 1.2k live variant, 1.5k live variant. 4 railguns with a staggered charge system. Shoot_1+ and Shoot_2+ are your triggers, bind these to your weapon hotkey (space by default). Sensitivity settings are adjustable from a yolo chip located in front of the pilot seat, this chip only adjusts your sense settings and is not vital to the operation of the aim system, you can use the U-tool save feature to save your sense settings to the ship post print. Armoured using known methods of meta plating, including big plate health, voxel armour, segmented and layered plating and plasma/rail sacrifice plates. Materials and components are on the high end, the 1k tourney variant uses corrium, making it exceptionally expensive, I recommend the non corrium variants for production. 150 m/s at 60 fps, overthrusted for high acceleration, highest speed I have reached is 160 m/s at 140 fps (uncapped) 999998.25 kg for 1k variant, 1158852.88 kg for 1.2k variant, 1429843.25 kg for 1.5k variant. 1 small prop tanks for 1 million prop, 20 mins estimated flight time. 4 T3 fuel chamber, 12 T3 generators, 6 T3 enhancers 50 mins estimated fight time. Uses premium FCU, no reverse, Roll_L and Roll_R are your keybinds for roll. Entry is through a small gap above the pilot seat. //Design// After testing the Xothian with Pinkgoo in prep for the upcoming tournament, we became addicted to railguns and jousting. I had 2 rails vs Pinks 1, so Pink matched me, then he made his overthrusted to hell. This led to a arms race of speed and railguns until i started fresh with a new design. This led too the Cthulhu, a 4 rail monster that quickly set a new standard of firepower. My teammates then matched this ship, the Terrorbird, the Raymond and the Glaveo all furthered our arms race, all overgunned with 3 to 4 rails, and each trading armour for firepower and speed. I can confidently say that the force multiplier of so many railguns plus the rapid top speed of a light craft such as this can devastate any foe not practiced in team fighting and jousting. Jousting and speed buy you the time to apply strategy and tactics to a very chaotic situation. Im selling this Bp knowing that i may have to face this in future tournaments and live combat, and that some may even share it without consent, but i honestly value competition and participation above all else. Here is a link to Scipion's view including multiple fights in his personally tailored Cthulhu. https://youtu.be/R-IGqqT3Xdk Sold as Bp.
