I love how simple the layout is. Right from the bay to the bridge without all the dang ladders 😂 I'm definitely going to go get this one and upgrade it. Thanks for showing it to us!
Nova makes a docker that externally looks like a 1x1 companionway but internally functions simply as a docker. I prefer to use that so that I don't have to climb a ladder; I can just look up at the hatch. It's the docker found on the Frontier.
I like it when it when ships have role-playing/verisimilitude habs like the Engineering Bay. All those tanks speak to me of water reclamation. It adds to the "space fantasy" feel. That's how I build. I want to immerse myself in the setting, so I am willing to sacrifice statistical efficiency to that end.
Any ship with that 4 engine array of the Slayton Aerospace models should be agile, as those engines focus on maximum maneuvering for a low power consumption. If you take ranks of Starship Design you can get better variants at each rank, including rank 4. It's a great way to add some pep to your ship, and leave 4 power if you want to center them around a larger engine.
Pik-Up is one of my favorite designs. I didn't have the money (at the time), so I went to Hope Town and built something similar. I really like the industrial look that HopeTech ships have. My next goal is to build something akin to the Stronghold.
Speculative lore: seeing as how Nova Galactic was working with NASA on Grav tech, it would stand to reason that one of the first investors into it would be the US Department of Defense asking for military focused ships, space weapons treaties be damned. And seeing as how the Zumwalt and Nimitz are named after US Navy vessels, my headcanon is that they were originally developed for the US military and then immediately repurposed for sale to the civilian market when the governments of earth collapsed upon the destruction of the atmosphere. Then further sold to the UC when they formed.
With the ballistic weapons it's a close call. Four of the 3-power cannons will put out 31x2.5x4=310 damage; three of the 4-power auto-cannons will put out 20x5x3=300 damage. That assumes a max load out; if you just use two of each, the auto-cannons would win out (200 vs 155).
That's fair. Most people would be better off with the higher power weapons. I usually use lower as when i was playing first i didnt have the best reactor and didnt want to sacrifice my shields

Man, these reviews are fantastic and always timed for my morning cup of coffee. Keep up the good work.
Glad you like them!
@@CrimsonFlyboy Buddy, absolutely every one, see you over a cup of joe in the morning. Cheers.

I like this style, I'd make it a C class, stick a great shield on it and weapons and a new reactor, but I wouldn't change the body hardly at all.
One of my favorite interior layouts
This is a great ship early on, good performance and utility after minimal updates.

Reckon we could get a review of the pikup,, keep up the content!
Its on the way
@@CrimsonFlyboy brilliant

@@nolgroth ive started a cargo hauling trucker build and i wanna get one of the hopetech ships, and the pickup looks cool
I believe A class engines give you a higher speed, 150 max, b=140, c=130. I would assume that’s why it has A class engines.
You're correct. You can get up to 180 using certain engines, but for the most part the speed is capped between those numbers
I have a C Class Ship with 180 speed and 100 mobility. It’s tied to engines not shop overall class

Never seen this one before
Its pretty common in some of the generic ship sellers
@@CrimsonFlyboy interesting have over 90 hrs
Gagarin ship technician sells it. I remember cos it was the first ship that caught my eye
Good Stuff!
