Spaceship to moon help
hey, I have been playing space engeeners for a long time and I would like to build a ship that can reach the moon on it but I don't know how someone will help. (maybe, projects are for the projector)

Ship that reaches the moon? I assume from Earthlike. Hydrogen thrusters, hydrogen tank, oxygen tank, o2/h2 gen (for mining ice that is on the moon), storage for collecting moon rocks ( :D ) gyros and a cockpit, pipe it all up and fly. You don't need to make it look nice just as long as it does the job.

I agree completely with @frag2k4. It's only about 200 km, so you don't even need a jump drive, but rather only a few minutes of patience to fly there.

We made something that looked like a suitcase .. had everything a base had but with big thrusters underneath to defeat gravity - only thing it lacked was sufficient gyros - even then my buddy went Chuck Yeager on it and managed to get it into space despite it constantly pitching down.

30 minutes later we were on the Moon.

Here, just threw this together and tested it with 10,000 iron in the cargo container, lifts off nicely and handles well, not going to win an award for looks for it should do what you need.

33 minutes and change if I did the math correctly

Yup, unless you have to slingshot around the planet first then it might take a little longer, but boost and turn off the thrusters (to not drain fuel), put on some tunes and enjoy the cruise.

I did a slingshot run around the sun to shorten the time, but ended up back in prehistoric times fighting velociraptors.

Off topic response but please tell me that is the plan for a mod ?!?!? :steammocking:
