Polaris Heavy Transport

Polaris Heavy Transport is a long-range, interplanetary freighter expressly designed for carrying heavy loads over great distances. Polaris uses a combination of atmospheric, ion, and hydrogen thrusters to optimally use power and hydrogen fuel; the redundant thruster configuration allows limited planetary and space operation should the hydrogen fuel stores be exhausted. All external top surfaces are accessible without a jetpack, including access through the lower airlock from the ground.

Polaris includes a fully equipped bridge, medical bay, and services and life support for up to six crew. One docking connector is located on top, one each on the port and starboard sides, and one on the bottom. External defensive weapons are limited to one missile turret, four gatling turrets, and eight internal turrets; no offensive weapons are included.

Polaris utilizes two scripts during normal operation, with a third script provided for auto-mining:
· Isy's Simple Doors (https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1751168996)
· MMaster's Automatic LCDs 2 (https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=822950976)
· Keks' Path Auto Miner (https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1507646929)

No mods or subgrids are utilized in this build; the projection's grid pivot is an armor block at the bottom of the bow behind the ore detector.

JUMP RANGE
The maximum jump distance for the empty ship is 2,835 kilometers, and the maximum jump distance with 15,000 tons of cargo is 307 kilometers. As mass increases, jump range decreases approximately in an inverse-linear relationship. The following equation may be used to estimate jump range (in kilometers) based on the payload mass (in tons):
Range = 1/{3.7752E-04 + (1.9115E-07) × Mass}
