C-3 Bee

Designed and built by Spiff's Practical Engineered Solutions for the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, the C-3 Bee is low-cost, ultra-light interplanetary cargo ship that can be built using material processed using a basic refinery and basic assembler. An integrated projector makes drydock repairs easy. Propulsion is provided by hydrogen thrusters that are supplied by a O2/H2 generator and three small hydrogen tanks that provide reasonable range and runtime. Two atmospheric thrusters provide significant ancillary lift when on planets. Designed for evading hostile NPCs, acceleration is reasonably quick, even when fully loaded. The front-most conveyor junction may be used to interface a ship's drill for ore collection.

ENTIRELY VANILLA; NO MODS; NO DLC; PROJECTOR BUILDABLE IN SURVIVAL!

NOTES FOR BUILDING WITH A PROJECTOR IN SURVIVAL
See the last picture for the projector's configuration.
1. Build a small-grid projector on a rotor frame configured with a small-grid rotor head that's located on a powered grid.
2. Load the blueprint into the projector; optionally click on the setting to retain the blueprint after construction is complete.
3. Build the blueprint.
4. When completed, grind away the rotor frame and small-grid rotor head, optionally leaving the projector in place so future repairs can be easily made.

FLIGHT NOTES
For the first time for any of my ships, I've added controls for the hydrogen "UP" thrusters to increase and decrease thrust override with the intention of minimizing hydrogen consumption while ascending from a planet's surface to space. Once I was above the effective elevation for the atmospheric thrusters (e.g., approximately 6,500 meters for the Earthlike planet), I shut them down and only used the {9} key (to push thrust override to the maximum value), and the {8} key to systematically step down thrust override as gravity decreased. At first it seemed awkward to me since I hadn't done this before, but I soon realized that it works well to provide just enough thrust to maintain speed while escaping the planet's gravity well. (If only someone significantly more talented than me would write a script for this process to make ascent from a planet's surface easier for the pilot. Hint, hint!)
