Description
The Hydrus Light Transport is a simple large-grid, low-cost ship with heavy-lift capability. The 5x3 cross-section (12½ meters wide × 7½ meters high) allows this ship to pass through a 4-block high (10-meter) airtight hangar doors opening. Propulsion is provided by hydrogen thrusters that are supplied by an one large hydrogen tank and one 02/H2 generator. This ship includes a survival kit for life support.

ENTIRELY VANILLA; NO MODS; PROJECTOR BUILDABLE IN SURVIVAL!

NOTES FOR BUILDING WITH A PROJECTOR IN SURVIVAL
1. Build a projector atop a single armor block that's located on a powered grid.
2. Load the blueprint into the projector; click on the setting to retain the blueprint after construction is complete.
3. Build the blueprint.
4. When completed, grind away the armor block.

Has a very No-Man's-Sky vibe to it. I like it.

Note also that one or both batteries can easily be replaced by small reactor(s) that hook to the small cargo container if recharging batteries is a problem.

Hydrogen thrusters require little power to operate, as well as most of the systems in this simple ship. I typically recharge the batteries when I dock at a station.

what powers this thing other then 2 batteries? it has no solar or hydrogen engines or even just reactors to gen its own power? if it runs out of power its just dead in space or gravity.

Photon transport?
