Or, well, add one at all. Obviously you are much better at designing ship interiors than I am.

Firstly, I love your series as a whole.

With regards to the Scimitar specifically, I'm not sure if you are still around or still updating things, but I had a question and a suggestion.

I've found that the Scimitar doesn't fit over the Epic Autominer you get from the Explorer's Guild. Is that Autominer larger than the others, or did they change collision in some way that makes it so that you can't neatly fit the Scimitar over any autominer any more?

Secondly, I quite enjoy using the Scimitar with the mining drone, but that more or less requires that you are using up O2, and the Scimitar doesn't have an O2 station. Without proper planning, this leads to death when asteroid mining. If you replace one of the LCD screens with an O2 station, the cross functionality with the mining drone gets much better, and I thought you might want to consider updating the blueprint with that generally.

@Tarsis
It was originally built from the Falchion-Class which used signal logic for ramps, so its a left over from that, but I do plan to add some ramps to the side and will probably use half of the signals there for that

OK! I was just looking at adding some autominers to my resource collecting, now you have sold me, lock, stock, and barrel!

I've noticed this has a BUNCH of device logic set up but nothing activates, Is that a planned feature?

Update
Add 6 locations to add minigun turrets (once you upgrade it to T4)

I did, said warp when I meant to say shields.
Tarsis 21 Jul, 2020 @ 12:46am 
Oh, that's lovely, and great timing too! Thanks Phoenix!
Phoenix  [author] 21 Jul, 2020 @ 12:38am 
I didn't add a shield to this to keep it from going to T4, however I've just updated it with space so that it can now be upgraded to T4 and have a shield added to it

I'd also like to have a CV version of this with places for defensive turrets and shields, which this one seems to lack.

It does however, have the warp drive? Maybe kralcorn got them confused. (Maybe I did?)

I thought it already had a warp drive? but its been awhile since I gone over this vessel so ill have to double check next time I'm online, however once I finish all or most of the new ship concepts I want to build, I do plan to go over all the ships in this list and improve the internal colour scheme and lighting, and add signals and minor tweak to improve usability, so I'll add you're ramp and signal idea to my list!

I love this ship but there were no ramps and doors were manual. I updated with ramps, sensor and logic to make it work and put in a warp drive. If your interested I can send you the file. Great concept, love this ship, it's my auto-miner workhorse.

This is really unique! I like the block design!!!
NautTdog 20 Mar, 2020 @ 12:40pm 
Nice to see another purpose built ship!

Neat design, well done!

I used a CV as the basis for mine, so that I could have full defensive capabilities (turrets for drones and sentry guns for NPCs). It was motivated by a Nascent Lava planet where every deposit was guarded by 6-12 alien assassins, scorpions, and horrors (that respawned). It's actually smaller than this SV version but there's not a scrap of fat on it.
