Danville Bros. Interplanetary Hauler

Bo and Cledus say, "Shoot, son, there ain't no job too big that we cain't handle."

Bo & Cledus' Danville Bros. Interplanetary Hauler is a high-capacity small-grid ship for bulk hauling tasks. Sporting an airtight cockpit with seats and cryo chambers for three players, the hauler is ideal for long distance hauling jobs.

NO MODS; NO DLC; NO ROTORS/HINGES/PISTONS; PROJECTOR BUILDABLE IN SURVIVAL!

Danville Bros. Interplanetary Hauler has 12 large cargo containers and 3 medium cargo containers for ore, ingots, parts, tools, and/or ammunition. Both large and small hydrogen thrusters, supplied by 12 large hydrogen tanks and 8 O2/H2 generators, provide primary thrust for maneuvering in space and within a planet's gravity well. Large atmospheric lift thrusters, powered by 4 large reactors, minimize hydrogen consumption, especially when hauling heavy loads. Life support is enabled by 4 oxygen tanks. Together these systems provide unparalleled performance for this high-capacity ship.

Ship defenses are provided by 4 gatling turrets.

NOTE: Based on Pertam testing; a significantly greater mass can be carried when traveling to/from other planets with lower gravity.

NOTES FOR BUILDING WITH A PROJECTOR IN SURVIVAL
See the last two pictures for the projector's configuration.

1. Build a large-grid rotor frame on a powered grid, remove the large rotor head, and replace with a small-grid rotor head.

2. Build a small-grid projector on the small-grid rotor head.

3. The blueprint's grid pivot (projector reference block) is the bottom connector. The projector's settings for the correct ship orientation are: vertical offset = number of spacer blocks above the projector (I use 3); forward offset = 2; yaw = -90°.

4. Build, baby, build!
