Description
Cepheus Aerospace Consolidated is my newest Collection, where I will upload all my new ships and keep them updated.
It is focused on realism and design, while retaining most of the functionality of the ships.
For me, the handling of the ships is more important than armor and weaponry, so they will
generally fly pretty well, but suck at pvp.

All ships in this collection are Vanilla, Survival Ready and Thruster Damage Compatible.
They sometimes have subgrids, but if so, not many. I also try to avoid scripts and use them only when necessary to keep these ships simple and fun.

They are not specifically intended for pvp and will probably suck against the infamous brick ships. They are however balanced against each other and the vanilla ships from the NPC traders, so none is significantly more or less powerful than the others. Generally they are lightly armored and I prefer to equip them with gatling guns over rockets. While they are all survival ready, I myself don't play survival alot, so they might not always be super useful for a survival game in terms of cargo capacity, fuel efficiency, cost of building etc.

My stance on DLCs
I like all of the new blocks, I don't like how everyone's forced to have basically all of the DLCs to download any workshop blueprint.
I don't want to limit myself to one DLC or another, so most of my ships will have whatever DLCs I end up using to make them look good.
However, I will also make a few ships that specifically have no DLCs whatsoever.
If a ship has any DLCs or none at all is specified in the top line tags.

Have fun!

Apparently there is a bug with collections in the steam workshop, which means I can't sort the new ships into the collection and they're just stuck at the end of the list.

If someone wants to upload this stuff to mod.io I'm fine with it, I'm too lazy to do it.
