Silkworm - Cargo Lifter

Description
"This ship is mostly just a modification of the Amos Cargo Transport" and not an inspired design. Stripped down to the most core components to rebuild the bodywork up around it and add a colour scheme I enjoyed.

I'm sorry this has caused offence to some people! I play this game with 3 friends, I uploaded this so I can save it for my own career and I was entirely ignorant of the expanse, activeness and etiquette of SE Steam workshop. I genuinely was not interested in followers! your comments have made me super happy that the workshop is a viable forum and sharing tool and I hope to prove to you that I've got some good designs in me!

Many thanks to SuicideNeil, Cygma and >DINKY< Binary Sun for pointing that out to me,

A much more sweeping bodywork, less moving parts, few additional thrusters and batteries and my own personal flair of my gradient paintwork brings the Silkworm into my workshop as my first contribution, as I've not uploaded anything before.

4 Medium Cargo-containers can be ferried up to low orbit with relative ease, but it works much better shuttling things back down to the surface from space.
I generally would use this with a one Cargo-container topped up with a bit of ice to extend the ship's range considerably

==================

For those interested! and possibly my only contribution with this upload is how I did the gradient.
I searched for wallpaper gradients online, and used a colour-picker to select samples of that gradient along it's curve, and convert them into individual HEX codes.
I then Copy-pasted these HEX codes into the game to create a number of Gradient-palletes I use for my ships!

@Milorde glad you made the correction and cleared up confusion. I unknowingly reuploaded a lot of other peoples content as my own on games like Spore when I was younger so I focus more on proper crediting. And only recently found out how active the workshop was when one of my self uploads to keep working on my ship got a lot of attention even though it was just a random blueprint from my world.

Thankyou for acknowledging the proper way to go about modifying other people's creations for personal use, kudos for not simply ignoring the issue.

@SuicideNiel @Cygma and @>DINKY< Binary Sun ! Thanks for your pointing out.
This has blown up, and was genuinely meant to be a self-upload to save this blueprint for myself.
I had no idea how active this workshop was and will do right by it next time and many more times to come :o

Stealing other people's creations, slightly altering them & then reuploading is not cool- we don't need another LSG ripping off people's work in order to get popular. Design your own ships from scratch or properly credit the original creator who did 95% of the work, rather than pretending you were just 'inspired' by them.

respect. pulling off that gradient. please more pictures

I heavily agree with @>DINKY< Binary Sun , I would suggest you replace the word "Inspired" with "Modification". This ship is mostly just a modification of the Amos Cargo Transport instead of an Inspired design.

Just for that paint job, i'm gonna give you an award.

i like the color scheme!

It seems to be less inspired and more remodeled by the Amos Transport. Which isn't a bad thing, having great designs being touched up is what gives the game so much of its replayability and feeds the community.

I would not have thought a colour fade from cyan to orange could be pulled off in an appealing way with how opposing they are, but you've shown me it can. :selike:

Here I thought this was a large grid!
Amazing what a good gradient paint scheme can do to an already good design!
