Description
The old prospector's Jenny was found as a derelict in the far reaches of space outside our known solar system. Although Jenny's systems have mostly been brought back to operational status, she still needs some work to restore her appearance. Interestingly, the old prospector seems to have pieced together Jenny from several different sources: habitat modules from the Nalynx settlement, shuttle bays from an old Reidan dreadnaught, a storage tower from a now-closed iRobot factory, and a military-grade power and dual jump drive module from a Phalanx Class Interdictor. It's obvious the old guy had set himself up to do some serious ore hunting! (I unceremoniously dumped the old prospector's mummified body out the lower bow airlock; perhaps his ghost still haunts this old ship.)

Note that Jenny does not use any subgrids (i.e.., rotors and/or pistons), and does not use any mods, but does have DLC components installed.

Blocks: 2,887
PCUs: 21,171
Empty Mass: 2,415 tons

With six (6) first-class refineries and four (4) first class assemblers, Jenny is well outfitted to process significant quantities of raw ore and produce either ingots or finished components for sale to the highest bidder. In addition to these systems, Jenny has the following components:

- 4 large cargo containers
- 3 small cargo containers
- 3 hydrogen tanks
- 2 oxygen tanks
- 8 O2/H2 generators
- 4 oxygen farms
- 5 external and 2 internal docking connectors
- medical facilities with1 medical room and 4 beds
- living quarters with 4 beds
- 3 cryo chambers
- 2 jump drives
- 2 flight seats
- 2 control stations
- 2 bow airlocks: lower-rear and upper front
- 1 large reactor
- 4 small reactors
- 4 batteries
- 2 jump drives
- 1 gravity generator
- 1 decoy
- 1 remote control
- 2 programmable blocks
- ion and hydrogen thrusters (space-only travel)

Jenny is equipped with light armament for defensive purposes only: 1 missile turret, 4 gatling turrets, and 16 interior turrets. Jenny is also designed for non-jetpack play; all surfaces are ladder, walkway, or magnetic boot accessible without a jetpack; the ship's bottom surfaces may be accessed by standing in the lower bow airlock and reversing the gravity generator's field.

The two landing bays were designed specifically for two small-block ship designs:
1. In the front bay, Dart Light Freighter for planetary flights: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1912842926
2. In the rear bay, Sprite Miner for ore extraction and retrieval: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1880569499

Furthermore, the bow's top docking connector is a convenient docking point for Dart, and any of the three docking connectors on the bow's bottom are convenient docking points for one or more Sprite miners.

Thanks. Nope, that particular concept never entered my mind, but, hey, go for it. It's easy to get tunnel vision with designs, and I'm all for someone else making it shine brighter.

Ever thought of using this as the basis for a kit-bashed "small base"? I think it'd be a great addition. BTW, been using this in solo, and loving it. I thought it'd work really well, but it has exceeded my expectations :)

I thought about it, but decided to skip that part. Remember, early on I said it was brought back to operational status, and that would include fixing any damage from weapons.

Nice build, Dad. If you want to make it look even more beat up, you can shoot it with some 25mm or rockets in random places.
