Description
The Capn's back!
=============
Apologies to all my subscribers & followers for the deletion of my entire SE workshop a while ago.
You'll be glad to know I'm back in the saddle though, with a whole heap of quality new content for you.
I hope you enjoy it - and please be patient while I get it all published, as it's likely going to take a while.

Welcome to EMGC
===============
EMGC is the Enthusiastic Malleable Goods Condominium, a newly formed subsidiary of SAVTec Industries.
Named in honour of a certain Earth-based Software House, EMGC has but a single goal; to rebuild, rebalance & improve upon the ships of the KSH fleet, making them more practical, useful and fun in-game, while still retaining the original KSH style.

EMGC will eventually comprise 3 ranges of ships; the Respawn & Cargo ships, the Easy Start ships and the Campaign ships.

New Blue: The K-3 Advanced Business Shipment
======================================
One of the more common Cargo Ships found in the game, the K-3 is, unsurprisingly the 3rd installment in my new EMGC range. (You see how this works now, yes?!)

While the original Business Shipment was a good ship to find, thanks to its relatively weak & avoidable defences and its large solar array (which everyone wants for salvage), it was sadly another ship that just wasn't that well balanced or practical. It's huge power plant, meager thrust offerings and odd choice of cargo capacity, coupled with the lack of a clear & obvious purpose made it good for looking at, then cutting up for parts.

With the new Advanced version I've addressed all of that.
Firstly, the ship now has a genuine, plausible role - that of corporate motor pool bus.
It seats 5 plus driver and has a useful but not unnecessary cargo capacity for carrying the basics such as tools & emergency spares - or those prototype materials / parts you're taking to show your client (RP value sold separately!)

Next the large reactor has been swapped out for 2 small ones, which it's intended would serve mainly as backups to the batteries & solar panels, which would be the ships primary power source.

And finally, the ship now has a fully pressurised / compartmentalised walk-through interior with windows!

She features...
-Twin batteries
-Twin backup reactors
-Passenger seating for 5, plus the driver
-4-cabin isolatable interior comprising Airlock, Cockpit, Engineering and Passenger cabin.
-98% coverage 4-way point defence
-Oxygen Generator & Tank life support
-Direct access to cargo & reactors in case of power drain
-A widescreen TV (kind of) and imaginary refreshments cabinet
-Convenient Button Panels for controlling the most common functions
