Encounter Imp Refit

Encounter Imp Refit is a variant of the original SPRT Encounter Imp spawnship in the vanilla game, but with the added capability of interplanetary flight. Consistent with the original design, this build is completely vanilla (modless) and uses no DLC. The ship's basic hull structure is mostly unchanged, but has been revised somewhat from the existing design to add new features.

This revision occurred after I captured a Encounter Imp during a recent survival game. I needed ore gathering, refinery, and assembler capability with mobility until I could establish a stationary processing station in space. This is my original survival ship that has been further optimized and makes for a decent, but limited range, scout ship, courier, or explorer.

NOTES FOR BUILDING WITH A PROJECTOR IN SURVIVAL
(See the last picture for the projector's configuration.)
1. Build a projector on a powered grid with two armor blocks minimum vertical clearance under the projector.
2. Load the blueprint into the projector; set the projector to "Keep Projection".
3. Build the blueprint.
4. When completed, grind away the connecting armor block under the projector.
