hmm i think this ship doesnt have enough upwards thrust for full cargo only 6 small Hydro-engines
trust me not enough lol

Bolland, I have done a refit of this ship here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3536393148

Please let me know if you'd like any additional attribution on the Steam page.

I am not familiar with them.

Question: Do you know Martronix? He has modified and republished this as "[POI] AM-100 Pioneer - Engineering Ship." No attribution, so I wanted to know if you were cool with it.

@Hansel No, they should be pre-loaded into the PB, you should just have to have scripts enabled in your world settings.

Hey, sorry for my lack of knowledge, I just started playing space engineers. Do I need to subscribe to the scripts as well?

@bolland83 Ah that makes it more difficult. I had a lot of issues with cloud storage in another game a few years ago. Disabled it and have never looked back. It wasn't great as a backup solution anyway (better to handle that yourself). It's only really useful if you physically hop between different computers alot since you don't have to carry around harddrives.

@r4v1n6 Thanks! Yeah, I figured out the blueprint issue, but not until after I had several versions of this ship posted. Updates don't seem to work if cloud storage is turned on, which it was. So I don't actually have a local BP of this ship to update it.

This is a rather nice ship! I think I'll use it to settle down on another planet (recently started a new playthrough). The leak issue was easily fixed thanks to the notes below. It seems the author doesn't know how to update the blueprint without having to post it anew. I didn't knew either but recently found out how: In creative, copy the ship to the blueprint clipboard. Then browse your blueprints until you find the original one (it should have a little house icon). Replace the blueprint with the one in the clipboard. After that just press Publish. That should update the already published blueprint with a new revision.

Hands down one of my two favorite whip designs I've ever done across in the game, amazing work!

Note from the author in the older version of the ship:

"Yep, it's the half bock window walls, they were airtight before the last update, but now are only airtight if oriented the same as a half block next to them (or next to a full size block). The ones causing the issue are the gray window walls in the crew lounge/living area. Easiest fix is replace them with the L shaped corner 1/2 window pieces for a similar look, or swap the armor blocks next to them for 2x1 slope bases instead of the 1/2 slabs that are there now. I would fix it myself but am unable to update the blueprint."

@SIUX, can you be more specific about which window?

Love this ship, also on a side note I love decorative blocks even in survival, adds so much more life to the ship which is important to me
nice work!

the problem is in the windows turned upside down in the compartment before the pilot room

Good evening,
I do not understand problem of sealing on the ship...to the hangar no subject it is presurized however on the deck and behind the door impossible to presurized.
If someone has found the solution I’m ready ... Thank you

It would seem that pressurization is broken with the recent update, I will have to look into it further to find what block changed.

Love this ship! Been using it for a month as my "go between" planets. Made a few small mods to fit my needs, but it's really a good ship!

Great job, but the cockpit is not pressurized

@Dots ...working on it, stay tuned.

Could you post the blueprint for the miner that fits in to??

Honestly, this is one of the coolest ships I've ever seen. I love it, congrats - this is exactly the type of ship I like.

---- since all that was over 1000 characters please read all that from bottom to top to make sense----

I would take any day a ship that looks like this but is without the decorative blocks. Hangar is perfect, medbay is also ok then give me the darn cockpit and is enough for me. Don't force me to invest time and resources in gathering the materials EARLY game in what? a bathroom and toilet that are unusable?? I swear the decorative packs and mods are the worst in this game because they aren't really functional. So sorry about all this. I know you worked hard but please release a version with less decorative stuff and more hangar space, except the exterior and size would be the same looking as this ship. just a less decorative variant. Pleaseeee!

I grinded half the ship down after that and was left with enough space to put another miner inside it. I think this ship is more to win the "popularity" contest here and who gets front page because of the design. I suggest to those that want to make use of this ship block projection of the "mess hall" and the useless bedrooms that NOBODY will use. As soon as you enter the ship from the hangar, what is your first decorative block you encounter? A toilet! A stinky toilet!!

If you build this on a scares resource server.. make sure its in your LATE game when you have alooot of components and you have nothing to do with them. In early game to build this is very bad and dumb idea. I went on a new private server and i had to have the owner of the server spawn the ship for me and its because after I printed this the hotbars were not working and just gray out boxes. On the side note there is soo much stupid decorative blocks that unless you are on an RP server you will NEVER make use of them.

Just built in creative. Appreciate you actually using the DLC's. For those that don't want to support future development, If you build this in survival its fairly easy to adjust the blocks. I do agree with ponafarr on more thrust, but this is a well designed ship. I think you really could use this as a base to meet whatever your needs are.

I agree with crazy loop, its dumb how you cant get anything without that dlc now

This actually requires both Warfare DLCs, whereas this states it only uses Sparks of the Future.

@pondafarr Thanks! I normally would do a hinge or piston based docking connector, but trying to avoid subgrids so the ship is printable in survival. As for vertical thrust, I packed as much as I could fit, lol. I suppose it also depends on how you fly, I typically turn the backwards thrust off and coast with dampeners ON, so it flies much like an airplane. Braking thrust On/Off is standard on pretty much all my ships, always on #4 so it's an easy reach from the WASD position. If you're going for a "suicide drop-n-burn" approach, straight down with dampeners OFF, parachutes may be a good addition.

Absolutely brilliant. I would prefer -slightly- higher vertical thrust for planetary landings, but with a bit of caution, that doesn't matter. Some of the economy stations can have a difficult time docking, but I found a way to replace the bottom docking port with a hinge system that allows a longer docking port while still allowing normal landing. Looking forward to seeing your future creations!

@Scorpion® I'm not too familiar with that mod, but I do have a small survival rover that works as a replacement for the drop pod.

Hi. This ship is awesome. It's posible to ask you, to creat something similar more or less like that, but for starting ship that we can respawn? I mean its still should be a blueprint, but compatible with daily needs mod and progres option? Im terrible with making compact projeckts :D
