Vidogo Starter Ship

Vidogo is an all-purpose, all-environment starter ship that will operate equally well on planets, moons, and in space. Vidogo is accessible from ground level without a jetpack.

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

DESIGN NOTES: This ship was originally intended to be a respawn ship. Because of this, I included sufficient resources on the ship itself where one could cannibalize parts from different components to get enough to build a ship drill. The second-to-last picture shows how I did this by getting what was needed for the drill from the landing gear, piston top parts, and armor blocks without compromising the ship's function. Once sufficient ore was obtained, refined, and assembled back into parts, those components could be rebuilt.

NOTES FOR BUILDING WITH A PROJECTOR IN SURVIVAL
See the picture for the projector's configuration.
1. Build a large-grid projector on a powered grid with two blocks (or scaffolds) on top of the projector; load the blueprint into the projector.
2. The blueprint's grid pivot (reference block) is Small Cargo Container 1. The projector's settings for the correct ship position are: vertical offset = -3; forward offset = 4.
3. Go forth and build.
NOTE: The four piston end caps are optional and add unnecessary mass when building in survival; they can be left off if desired to save parts and mass.
