The SV-SuperZip has been updated as well.

Blueprint has been updated to work with current version. Thanks for letting me know!
Merlin  [author] 11 Sep, 2023 @ 5:59pm 
Ah. Not working now? I'll see what I can do.

Sadly due to the changes had to replace the blocks so it could be used again :( so may wish to do the same quickly so can be used easily ... i know MANY people use it as it is quick and easy to spawn in and use for many things :P
Merlin  [author] 28 Jan, 2022 @ 12:07am 
Thanks! I use it all the time as well. =]

Always my favorite creation! I've even made a few spin-offs - an HV, a CV, and one or 2 with either more guns or a constructor. :steamhappy:

This is still my favorite go to early survival design. So functional and so damn cheap! Thanks again @Nuke!

This is an awesome little flyer. I've upgraded the cargo to A9 and it's still cheap as chips, a scrooge on fuel and so, SO manoevrable! Love it :)
Merlin  [author] 21 Jan, 2019 @ 6:21pm 
Glad you like it!

Great starter and emergency vehicle! Thank you for sharing.
Merlin  [author] 28 Oct, 2018 @ 11:58am 
You're welcome!
Sir Saltz-A-Lot 27 Oct, 2018 @ 10:28pm 
First craft I build almost everytime...AWESOME! Thanks.
Merlin  [author] 13 Jun, 2018 @ 10:34pm 
Not sure if it needed to be updated, but it had been a while, so I updated. Enjoy!
Sillls 22 May, 2018 @ 7:14pm 
One of the first things I build. :)
Merlin  [author] 15 Apr, 2018 @ 9:39pm 
Yes, it is a great platform, both as a starter and later as a beefed up fighter.
dashiiznit 15 Apr, 2018 @ 6:17pm 
I was inspired by this design and made one myself. At first it was just as minimal. Now when I start the game, I usually make one, but it's much beefier. combat steel encased, jet thrusters, larger capacity fuel and O2, and oh, the guns. Cant go wrong with 4 miniguns and at least 2 railguns. great start and great platform.

Glad you like it!

I now use the Zip as my go to SV. It's cheap to build, easy to access all the parts to repair and it takes add-ons well - I have one with warp drive - and keep a spare in the hanger if I need it when I'm respawned.
Merlin  [author] 6 Feb, 2018 @ 9:21am 
Never seen this happen before. Strange. Hope it doesn't happen to you again! Thanks!
themikewilson 3 Feb, 2018 @ 11:17pm 
Found that it sinks in to thin sheet blocks but not whole blocks. When I Jack hammered the block away it freed up the Zip. I then replaced the blocks with whole blocks and It fixed the problem. Can't think of another situation where this might be a problem but I'll let you know if any thing like that occurs again. Other than that great SV! Helped me finally knock out the turrets on a testy alien facility.
themikewilson 3 Feb, 2018 @ 7:16pm 
I spawned the SV-Zip on my landing pad and it sunk into the concrete blocks! I got it out part way by tipping it on its side but it's still apparently stuck solid - like the cement was poured around it. I'm going to dismantle it and see how much comes out. or I may try to remove the cement blocks and see what happens. May find Jimmy Hoffa in the process.I took screen shots but I'm not goin to take the time to figure out how to attach or send them.......
Merlin  [author] 2 Sep, 2017 @ 10:43am 
Thanks Rat! Yes, I am the original designer. Glad you like them! This is often the first ship I build. =]
rat152 2 Sep, 2017 @ 9:26am 
I really didn't know where this design had came from. Are you the orginal design? I poop these out and given em away very handy in many situations. great job!
Merlin  [author] 30 Jun, 2017 @ 11:41am 
Thanks Pickles! I often slap different weapons on it according to my needs just as you do. =] Glad you like the design!
WHISKEYxDEMON 30 Jun, 2017 @ 9:37am 
I use this little guy for auto mine collection on poi cleared moons and planets ,,, its so fast and nimble that it really speeds up the job a lot . I really like the hassle free entry as well ,, too much bother with rear door access for such a simple task as collection on other bigger SVs ,,,, thank you so much for this design . Looking forward to slapping a few 135 hmsl to it and " digging " through dungeons with it as well !
Wolf 22 Apr, 2017 @ 2:09pm 
I have a request, being a long time fan of this little ship. I have used it alot. Would you consider one day to try and make a CV variant of this little ship? the cv doesnt need to be a moving base, but more of a simple combat frigate that could house this zip. Would be really cool, thanks ! =)
Merlin  [author] 31 Mar, 2017 @ 12:52pm 
I'm not on experimental so I couldn't tell you, but I will definitely check it out when 6 hits live.
[S.C.] Worsin 27 Mar, 2017 @ 11:21pm 
Is it me or is this not flying the same as in previous builds? Im on experimental and it seems to be harder to control it.
frantech1 20 Mar, 2017 @ 10:56am 
I love this thing. It's the first vehicle I build.
Merlin  [author] 2 Nov, 2016 @ 4:27pm 
I don't mind mods, but please give credit and link back to me.
chop chop 2 Nov, 2016 @ 3:42pm 
Best starter so far created :D i put some mods on the workshop. if you dont like them, ill put them offline :)
Merlin  [author] 20 Oct, 2016 @ 2:34pm 
Looking at the update, I don't think the zip needs to be updated to be functional. Please let me know if you have any problems, or if you find out I'm just plain wrong. =]
Merlin  [author] 15 Oct, 2016 @ 3:37pm 
I will definitely keep the zip current. Thanks! =]
Wolf 15 Oct, 2016 @ 1:44pm 
I just came here to let you know this zip has gotten me through many ventures, rescues and startups, even use it as my primary interceptor in pvp (with better guns) this ship has served me so well lol, I had to come here and say thank you! will you make an upgraded one with the new update?
Merlin  [author] 5 Oct, 2016 @ 1:52pm 
You're welcome, Simplicity!
NZ_Wanderer 5 Oct, 2016 @ 11:51am 
Thnaks for coming up with this ship, have started a new game and need something small to get going, this fits the bill perfectly, cheaper to make than the SV Starter Tier 1 :)
Merlin  [author] 27 Aug, 2016 @ 10:30am 
Thanks!
Destructor 27 Aug, 2016 @ 9:05am 
I love the design of this ship. Impressive just how much stuff you can put in a one block thick ship and still make it usable, as well as very good looking.
Merlin  [author] 18 Aug, 2016 @ 8:26am 
If you must. =D
LowRawhiti 18 Aug, 2016 @ 2:17am 
i made a slight veration to this can i post i made it a war version
Merlin  [author] 9 Aug, 2016 @ 10:57pm 
Glad you all like it. Hi Ratara. Glad you used it for a derivitive work. It sounds like your goals were different than mine, which is great. Feel free to post it. Mine's still better. =D =p
FutonTorpedo 9 Aug, 2016 @ 5:29am 
The developers have stated that 'hidden thrusters' are intended and they have no intention of implementing thruster damage.
Lee_3po 8 Aug, 2016 @ 12:36pm 
love the design. great work
[WDR] DrDeve 8 Aug, 2016 @ 11:35am 
Nice job Nuke.

#1 minimalist SV in my book.

{and one block longer and I COULD squeeze in a constructor, and ... hmmmmm }
Davidus Maximus 8 Aug, 2016 @ 3:56am 
Very nicely done. Minimal use of resources and still looking great.
CplC.kojak 8 Aug, 2016 @ 3:49am 
good Small Vessel
