This ship is not the most beautiful, not the most effective, but if you evaluate it by the sum of points "aesthetics + efficiency", then this ship is the best, at least that's what I was striving for. I was striving to make the most balanced combination of aesthetics and efficiency, in proportions that correspond to my abilities.

Advantages and Features:
1) EVERY functional block of the ship is accessible from the interior, except for the hydrogen generators and one hydrogen electric generator (too noisy).
2) VTOL - thrust vectoring thrusters. No scripts. No clanging detected.
3) Lots of useful buttons all over the ship, as well as some quirks, contribute to the practicality of the role-playing game, in addition to convenience. 
4) The thrust of the engines allows landing in 1 G of gravity, even with a large load in its Large cargo container.
5) There is everything for survival, a sufficient and optimal number of hydrogen and electricity generators, oxygen and hydrogen tanks, batteries, beds, medical points, production units, the presence of a drill and an external welder, etc.
6) Good set of weapons.
7) Low profile for its mass due to the dense arrangement of components - the ship is more difficult to hit and high specific integrity per cubic meter of interior.
8) Highly armored. With proper positioning in combat, it can withstand a huge amount of damage, as well as ricochet shells. The bow is suitable for ramming and has sloped armor. The reserve load capacity allows for further increase of the armor if necessary. It's also nice to see when your ship doesn't have huge 15-meter cracks after being hit by a single shell that knocks off 6 armor blocks.
9) The exterior provides easy access to weapons for repairs in combat.
10) 5 compartments separated by armored sealed bulkheads.
11) Rational order of arrangement of compartments from bow to aft in order of increasing importance (as it is a forward firing ship).
12) Optimal auto repair of hydrogen tanks - 2 welders, each repairs 4 tanks.
13) Protection of the structure from detonation of hydrogen tanks and ammunition.
14) Two spare well-protected piloting points.
15) Well-protected medium size hangar.
16) Double conveyor supply, rational route of this supply.
17) Ventilation communication between rooms.
18) Atmospheric interior lighting.
19) Special attention was paid to the absence of visual gaps between the blocks of different rooms (some even completely airtight blocks do not visually close the space). Also, non-overlapping or bad adjacency of cosmetic blocks - like a kitchen block, the sink of which in the corner is covered by the edge of the sofa, or a cabinet floating in the air, above the floor, because there is a concave wall block as a floor, etc.
20) Boarding ramp.
21) The noise of hydrogen generators is almost inaudible anywhere except in the engine room.
22) Excellent hydrogen generation and tank filling speed.

There are only two caveats:
1) Do not press the VTOL switch too often - do not press the button again until the thrusters have finished reorganizing after the last command (~8 sec).
2) The cargo suction and cargo drop buttons in the hangar switch the sorters to the corresponding modes and when pressed again, return to normal mode. Always return the system to normal mode after working in a non-standard one, otherwise the next time you switch from one non-standard mode to another non-standard one, the system will break.

The design of the ship is devoid of unnecessary interior details, because this is a combat multifunctional ship, a workhorse, the only shelter that protects the crew from the endless merciless space, and squandering any cubic meter of this hearth of life is like death.

If you don't mind, please leave 2 ratings in the comments - one for aesthetics and one for overall ship performance, on a scale of 1 to 10.

The ship's creation was inspired by the YouTube content of Luca the Guide, both his colorful overview of other ships and equipment, and his advice.

Yeah, maybe. I had to advertise it and get people interested in it at the beginning of the description haha :), but I made a remark right after that that this is just what I'm aiming for. But I really believe that by the specific criteria I voiced, this ship is really good. Thank you for your feedback, I will take it into account.

i was gonna make a f***in essay of a comment to explain why im giving you a 3/10 for both aesthetics and functionality but i may or may not have ended up an order of magnitude over steam's character limits
