For this one, i've asked myself what firt ship would i use if i was to start again tomorrow. Wanted something easy on the repairs and building costs, while still providing enough power to be viable in most situations.
Result is the ORCA, a light weight ship (less than 500tons) on a S core. Its setup allows to carry up to 2kt out of 1g gravity with average pilot skills, the two M rockets can either allow you to reach this capacity with lower skills, or increase it even further.
Comes equiped with 9 M containers for storage (so basically half a hub full of L containers), L fuel tanks (M for rockets), warp drive and everything you could need in a ship: VR, res pod, a bunch of scripts and various screen infos.
Current version is powered with T3 military engines, both space and atmo. BPs of basic version (with T1 engines, no warp drive and no rockets) will be made avaliable later. Ship capacities will go down alot of course but it will still be enough to perform its duties, while being very cheap to spawn (coordinates of elements are avaliable in an info button for easy upgrade)
Ship is built on bottom of core with as little elements on top as possible, so you can place a DSAT or 3 scanners.
Detailed interior, many hours spent on the voxels (finally used smooth tool!), can be seen at VR: Aerogics Space Station
Also comes with a color kit blueprint so you can customize it to your likings (feel free to contact me if you need help)
...and the best part: its a free blueprint!
