UFS Colossus - Atlas Cargo Shuttle V2

But Unit! This thing was on the front page of the workshop. You totally stole it for clicks you pile of sh!t

Mk lets get this out of the way Immediately.



I didn't steal it

This is a bootleg design built entirely from scratch right next to the original for reference. This blueprint would be better referred to as a total performance upgrade to make it survival compatible in ways the original ship was not.

Specifically this ship ^ made by Grand_Vitesse, who did an incredible job on his ship.

His version of this ship was built for looks. It had internal thrusters that were not hooked up properly and was not built to fly with thruster damage enabled. Making it pretty, but unusable in survival.

Well considering I was in the books for a nice cargo ship with a high capacity hold to carry a selection of manufactured ships or devices 14,000km and drop them off at a base near our faction enemies, I was a little disappointed his ship wouldn't work outside of creative. But I still really wanted it to.

As a result I spent several days rebuilding the entire ship from the ground up with added specifications of...

Redundant Backup Power
Piped Hydrogen Thrust
Thruster damage usable
Vented and sealed (-Maintenance areas are not)
4 Jump Drives
Extra hydrogen storage
Reduce poly count
Reduced Mass
Minor hull shape changes
Space for shield modules
Connectors top/bottom
Easy Access to internal systems
Extra upwards thrust
Artificial gravity

Also hid landing gear into the loading ramp to lock the ship in one place on the ground*

Must be piloted from the Main remote control* Which is accessed either by antenna connection, or sitting in the blue seat in the bridge and pressing 1.

Hotbar 1 : General Control
1 - Main Thrust Toggle
2 - O2/H2 Generator Toggle on/off
3 - Ramp Landing gear (Used to lock the ship in place while landed)
4 - Open Slot for end user choice
5 - Tilt Engine Toggle (Turns wing mounted tilt thrusters on/off, Ship can fly in gravity without them)
6 - Extra lift thrusters (Incase you need more lifting power)
7 - Tilt Engine Switch (Will raise and lower the Wing mounted engines)
8 - Rear Cargo Door Open/Close (Takes about 10 seconds to fully open/close)
9 - Landing Gear Up/Down (Note that they have no breaks so try to land on flat non down hill areas)

Hotbar 2 : Jump Drives
1 - All Drives On/Off
2 - All Drives Recharge On/Off
3 - All Drives Increase Range
4 - All Drives Decrease Range
5 - Open Slot for end user choice
6 - Drive 1 jump
7 - Drive 2 jump
8 - Drive 3 jump
9 - Drive 4 jump

Hotbar 3 :
1 - Gravity Alignment Script on/off
2 - Gravity Alignment Script - Run

The end product was a very similar ship that kept the same style, while increasing efficiency and usability. Not only shaving off about 5 million triangles, but almost reducing the entire ship's mass by 4,000,000 kgs.



I would also highly recommend checking out the original version as its interior looks amazing and is a really good source of inspiration.

Keen. Please. Give us interior blocks reskinned with back panels of the decor blocks. They weigh far less and are much better optimized, they would make large grid interiors vastly cleaner and better on ship performance.

Also please note : This blueprint includes some modded blocks. They are just shield modules from Cython's Energy Shields and the ship will perform in a vanilla game perfectly fine without them, pasting it in without the shield blocks mod will not split the ship.
