Obelisk - Modular Freight Hauler (NO DLC)

Description

A titan of industry, the Obelisk serves to move the vast fields of Freight from station to station, supporting the colonies in the outer fringes of known space. Alternatively known as a 'Freight Pusher', the Obelisk Tug can attach any number of Freight Modules to the end. Although typically seen with 3 modules, it can less commonly be seen with upwards of 5 or more.

Extra Details

Disclaimer: Computers were harmed in the making of this ship.

The ship itself is really the Tug at the rear of the blueprint, I've provided 2 types of Modules, an A-A & A-B Pairing. A Type Modules have Large Grid Large Cargo Containers inside, whereas the B Modules are hydrogen. In order to modify the ship, you should disconnect the modules, copy (even blueprint them if you want) and paste them until you find a configuration you want.
If your making a ship of the same type of modules, you should be able to just paste the cargo modules onto eachother without having to manually dock them together. However if you're mixing modules, since the hitboxes are a bit awkward, you won't be able to paste them onto eachother and will have to manually dock them using the Tug.

In order to disconnect a module, press the button at the end of the railing/walkway facing the side you want to detach, this will disable the merge blocks. Then unlock the connectors and the module should detach after probably a momentary lagspike.

If you copy a module, I recommend you rename the Merge Block Groups / add a Code to the name, so the groups don't mix when attached to the freighter. (It would be cool if there was a way to have it automatically separate the groups when the modules connect).

Also... For the record, this is not for and can't be made in survival, so don't even try.
