Dromedary Freighter A9

Heavy-Lift freight/cargo SV, level 10, seats 3, has Warp drive.
Alpha 9.0 Experimental or later only
[A bit outdated and NOT compatible with CPU - this is around 150,000 cpu cost]

Remake of my older oudated 'Dromedary Freighter' using the new cargo system.

Cargo capacity:
2 Maximum size modular containers for 64,000L volume (32k each)
1 Smaller modular container - 1875L - intended for small personal goods like armor, medical, weapons, etc.
1 Ammo modular container with 2875L for SV ammo.
2x Fridges

2x Constructors, intended to connect to the primary cargoholds for input/output.
Includes wireless connection.

4x gatling guns, 4x Rocket launchers
Full Hardened steel, with some plastic blocks for unimportant interior/deco areas.
Decent offensive capability combined with the fairly strong engine power could serve as a POI assault craft in a pinch, although it wasn't designed for this specifically.

Strong engine power for lifting heavy loads (for when mass in containers is enabled).
Engine power was adequate to lift 1,000 tons of additional mass (using artficial masses) in the creative world's .96G gravity. This will be considerably less in heavier gravity planets, and more in lower grav.

Has a basic engine throttling system using 4 levers each controlling a seperate 1/4 of total thrusters. Engine power can be tuned to the amount of weight you are hauling, or for fuel saving. With all thrusters on in atmosphere it's pretty fuel hungry.

Sizeable drone-launch shutter roof in cockpit area, could be a good ship to use for drone mining or salvaging POI's.

Entrances and interior lighting/lcd's automatic on sensors. Lever for the exterior lighting (all the external small lights are in spotlight mode) and a lever enabling weapons. (both have control panel switches as well)
Control panel switches to disable the flashing yellow lights on the roof, enableing/disable the sensors, and enableing/disabling the spotlights.
Note: the control panel switch for 'thrusters' overrides the engine lever setting.

Includes armor locker, oxygen station, detector, deco radar.

Full material list and build time in last picture above.
It's not a particularly cheap ship - I was going more for duability than affordability - I may make a seperate version converted to standard steel and no rocket launchers.

I was having some trouble with the docking pads not retracting when lifting off from the ground, they would retract most of the time, but occasionally they would get stuck extended and nothing short of replacing them completely would fix the auto-retracting. I suspect it was the side-mounted docking pads not 'seeing' the ship leave a surface that was keeping them from retracting. If you don't need the side-docking capabiltiy (which may be the only way a ship this size can dock to some smaller CV's) the side-mounted docking pads can be removed and half-cube blocks put in their place.

The 'CT 334' has no special meaning, feel free to erase or change (maybe faction name or initials). Also feel free to replace-all mode repaint the blue areas to your preferred color.
