Looking for ship pack
I'v sceamed through the workshop, found some, but there are a few problems:

- When subscribing to multiple, hard to distinguish - the generated thumbnail all look very similar. Name logic is different because different authors.
- Different state of updates, every update that break something you have to go through all the mods.
- Some have more parts than maybe needed (not for the look, but the details you don't even see, because inside or to small). Joining those and not the outer parts that breaks things is near impossible.
- Some ships make other obsolete. Especially when you sub a pack, there are often intersections, but not of all ships, so you might end up having 10 frigs and 1 transporter.
- They often just assume you are past titanium, so you have most designs with T3 resources and you can't start like that. And its the same chaos when you sub to some using titanium max. and finding those between all those others considering the issues described above.

Some issues are typical mod issue, but I thought maybe there is some 1 huge ship pack that is maintained as a complete set, maybe by multiple people, instead of everyone separated, that anyone knows?

Should have all the sizes in at least one variant (corv, frig, etc) and then something for mining/scavanging, trading.

I have the patience to build ships myself, but saddly not the time. Might sit there for 5 hour and just building a ship and try to avoid annoying corner shapes but it turns out looking ♥♥♥♥ after that. Probably need 10-20h per ship to make it look decent. I'm using helper features like copy & paste, mirror, etc... For a block-building system its actually not bad, but the more complex corners and curves just suck to find.

Always used workshop designs in this game, finally built an early game ship due to 2.0 messing up slot classes.

Built alot stuff for Empyrion and the joke there is Functional , Maneuverable, or Pretty pick 2.
Time and practice eventually lets you get all 3 sometimes, but it is never a given.

I do not consider this pretty, but it covers the other two well enough

In the end to get exactly what you want you will have to get lucky or build it yourself.

I stick to SivCorp, Tesla Industrires and NovaCorp designs. They all serve me well and they keep them updated. I wish I knew how to tag those designers here but if they read this....bless you all! You have made the game far more enjoyable for me
