Ship Description:

This is my medium colony ship built specifically for the [UESC] Construction Contest No.13 (Medium Colonization Ship). The colony ship is essentially a transport for 48 frozen colonists. It consists of a long flat, two tiered hull design. Engines are situated mostly to the rear and features a deployable base starter kit.

I have reworked this ship to include several new features.

The new deployable Base Starter Kit features everything you would need to start a new Base somewhere new. Just drop it off, change it to a station and get to work.

I have included a constructor drone and a miner drone along with the required recon probe drone.

The ship now has two drone hangars in the aft-quarter of the ship that can hold up to 4 of the recon probe drones.

I've also added a lot more detail in the form of Text Screens, Nav Lights and button panels.

Credit for the LCD screen scripts (seen in the bridge) goes to MMaster.

Beautiful ship, wish I knew how to make the drones, let alone anything else there, that'd take a decade haha

Updated to include many new features and to fix a few things that didn't quite meet the rules for the contest.

Big fan of this one, I actually did a thorough-ish review for the 'Show off Someone Else's Creations' thread... (Page 2, Post 21)
