[HullTec] Silverhawk XL

Description
A Silverhawk with additional ion thrusters and a second reactor.

You can find the original Silverhawk (hydro thrusters only) here.

The Silverhawk
The Silverhawk is a very compact and simple deep space exploration ship for 2 crew members. I designed it for a survival server. My goal was to create a ship that is as light and small as possible but also capable of landing on planets (and leaving them).

The cockpit has a thruster override setting for the large main thruster. By using it, you can leave planets easily without using much fuel. (make sure to turn off dampeners after takeoff)
The small "cockpit" has no air vent. You have to use the survival kit or the two cryo pods to stay alive on longer journeys.

This ship is not supposed to be a starter ship. You should make sure to have enough uranium and at least one ice source before you build this ship in survival. Otherwise there's a high chance that you end up floating through space.

I really like the ship except for the survival kit being turned 90 degrees. Tried to fix it, and ended up with a variation of this ship. One block longer, but 2 blocks narrower, since no gyros or thrusters goes outside the main body.

Besides that it features a larger full pressurized interior, with artificial gravity, and added a bed, toilet, work desk, couch, jukebox and a kitchen.

On the functional side Also added a second jump drive, an assembler, a basic refinery 3 programmable blocks, a front connector, a top connector, 1 more battery, 1 more reactor, 1 more small cargo container, 1 front facing camera, 1 Remote control and one more upwards facing ion thruster.

It lost one of the two gyros which while there where room for it, I felt it looked better with one and handled just fine.

Thank you!
I always add one or two turrets, too. I just didn't add them to the blueprint so the player can decide if the ship needa weapons or not. :-)

a nice ship, sleek, light and 2K jump range. I found a way to cobble a few gat turrets onto it, 1 conveys and 1 I have to feed, but I hate going exploring without any defense at all. This is not criticism of the design. I appreciate the smaller cost to build this and its overall functionality. Plus it is pretty good looking. An engineering feat.

Thanks for the quick reply, fingers crossed I can finish it in a way i'm happy with now.

Hi. Feel free to upload and share your versions. I'm always curious to see what people do with my uploads :-D

Hi, I've been working on a modification of your ship with vertical decks (like the expanse) and would love to know if I can share it on the workshop if you are properly credited? It's not ready yet and may never be even with your permission but I'd love to know if it's even an option to share if it turns out like I think it will.
Thanks.

Hm. Some mods are known to keep containers/tanks from beeing filled. I will test it later today. Thank you.

Maybe it's clang, but it won't fill with hydrogen. The 02 gens are plugged, everything's in order but it won't take in hydrogen via stockpile or manually putting ice into the o2 gens. They are on, but doing nothing and accept nothing.

Also, reactor B won't accept uranium, only A.

You used 2 dlcs for 131 blocks?
