FS.S70.1 Sojourn-Class Explorer

The S70.1 Sojourn-Class Explorer is a deep space exploration and pathfinding vessel designed with a singular purpose – to travel the most hostile and extreme regions of space and survive. Drawing from a long history of survey vessel and warship design, Fleet Standard has delivered a spaceframe with levels of unparalleled protection and defense. The Sojourn comes complete with a fully virtual, enclosed bridge, active and passive countermeasure systems, critical system redundancies, an exceedingly resilient layered armor shell, and all the accommodations necessary to support its full complement of officers, scientists and crew for long periods of time without resupply. No matter the mission, the Sojourn will get you there – and back.

BACKGROUND:
This is a vanilla spacefaring vessel, no mods required. Enable scripts in your world setting for full functionality. Parts from all 3 DLC to date have been incorporated into this design. This ship is a long-overdue remake of my DLC-free ship, the Journeyman, which can be found here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=430398107

As always the goal with my ships is to make simple, highly functional designs without sacrificing realism or aesthetics.

NOTE: To avoid any possibility of Clang all the rotors on this ship are set to "share inertial tensors". This greatly impacts turning/maneuvering performance. If you are okay with risking clang, simply turn tensors off on all rotors and the ship should handle much, much better. Some rotors are set to hidden so make sure to click the "eye" icon so you can see all of them.

Thank you to Stone Cold Jane Austen and his Thaddis Sabbah skybox, which I used for the exterior beauty shots. It’s not required for this ship but It’s great looking and you should check it out.
