Eden Class Industrial Mining Vessel

The Eden Class Industrial Mining Vessel was designed solely for industry, and as such, it is equipped with no weapons. However, because of the large amount of armor plating and spacious interior of the hangar, this ship can be outfitted for combat as a light fighter carrier.

Details:
Mass: 10,620,414 KG
Power: 8 Large Nuclear Reactors and several dozen small nuclear reactors hidden in crawlspaces around the ship.
Power Output: 15,344 GW
Gyroscopes: 103

Compartments:
- Command Bridge
- Reactor Control Room
- Hangar Bay Equipped with Drilling Machines
- Shipment and recieving bay
- Medical (x2)
- Manufacturing (x2)
- Cargo Containment
- Crew's Quarters (Forward)
- Officer's Quarters (Aft)
- Lower Observation (Aft - Complete with suspended walk way)

Things I like about this ship:

This ship is the largest I have successfully built to date. I love the "Ribs" as it were that run along the center of the ship.
I also enjoy the feeling of the Command Bridge and the many consoles that run along it.
The fact that the drills work on small ships now makes me love the drilling machines.

Things I dislike about this ship:

The nose is a bit wide for my taste.
I don't like how I designed the Drilling Machines in that in order to see where you're going, you have to fly in 3rd person mode. That's not a big deal, though. Switch over to Cockpit mode while drilling to get a nice and interesting view!


Things to Remember:
Magnetic Landing gear is engaged on the drilling machines. Press P to turn them off.
The reactors are also off on the Drilling Machines. Press Y To turn them on.
You can turn the lights on the Drilling Machines on or off by pressing L. Be warned though that they do tend to diminish your FPS.

You may not see any Refineries on board this ship. Rest assured, however, that they are there. The Refineries are connected to the cargo containers via conveyor blocks. My idea was that you put raw materials that you've mined into the storage containers that are located in the Hangar. The Conveyors take those materials and put them into the refineries, and from there, the refined product gets put into the cargo storage space on the lower level.

The Manufacturing area was sort of put in as an afterthought. I did not intend this vessel to manufacture anything.
Instead, once the materials were refined, they would be taken to a station for manufacturing. However, I don't have a station presently, so this will have to do.

Thank you for flying my ship. :)
