here's my self sustaining cargo ship, 300km/s

#

and my speed ship is basically the same thing with a longer tail, and it goes 475km/s

My newly built cargo supply ship. The Frygate FishSpin

#

Relies on some imported calcite, but will be rebuilt to be self sufficient after I visit gleba!

#

Balances asteroids present in the system, too

brave tiger Nov 13, 2024, 5:56 PM

#

after many iterations ive finally come up with a design to get me too and from planets safely! later once i plan to transport stuff ill make a proper freighter

#

i had to cut it down from 3 engines to 1 because any more than that was too fast and the turrets couldnt keep up

#

and my starter space science platform

first one im proud of

Circuits:
top 4 collectors keep 5 metallic and carbonic asteroid at the top on their own side of the belt. inserter into hub keeps 5 of both inside hub.
lower 4 collectors can grab all 3 types, and try to keep 5 of each on the loop belt.

This is my ship intended to go to the shattered planet at very high speed. I didn't realize quite how much railguns suck, so it can't actually do that. The engine setup is intended to be tilable and produce fuel locally for very high speed

#

in principle i expected it to support around 90 railgun shots/s and 240 explosive rocket shots/s, maintaining >2000km/s

#

in practice, railguns suck

#

so it will infact be crawling to the shattered planet at <100km/s, wasting more of my time on top of the week i spent designing a ship that turns out to be hobbled by game mechanics

fierce abyss Nov 18, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

Blinky lights.
Has quite a bit of circuitry. Tells collectors when low on asteroid materials, velocity control (goes slower towards Aquilo and back), starship lights, asteroid reprocessing kicks in when low, etc.

#

i love all of the ftl ships in here

#

i went for slug ship vibes with this one tho it isnt particularly similar

#

im thinking of mirroring the solar panels and pulling a lot of production to the top instead

#

that way i can get it closer to the slug ship

#

first spaceship i designed, had a lot of fun doing it

rancid umbra Nov 29, 2024, 4:46 PM

#

dusk hazel i went for slug ship vibes with this one tho it isnt particularly similar

if you need that much power id suggest nuclear, only takes a small import of 20 cells (or more) every so often

#

(which can be done by having nauvis as one of your target stations or as an interrupt)

#

if you want to get it to closer looking like a slug cruiser

plush sigil Nov 29, 2024, 6:35 PM

To prepare my trip to Aquilo I made myself a new personal spaceship with a couple quality components and nuclear power, and accidentally made it look like a fish

It's still not fast

are u using legendary?

Yes

500 is like the speed cap

#

u have to stack them vertically

#

try put another row on the bottom

the speed is like thrust/width of spacecraft

#

its stupid

rancid umbra Dec 2, 2024, 6:15 AM

i heard that mass is less important than width, and i kinda wish it was the inverse tbh
im fine with the width thing being a thing, i just feel itd be better if they were more tied or mass was more important

mossy spire Dec 2, 2024, 7:02 AM

yknow

i really want a mod that removes that weird space-drag thing

the only effect mass should have is how fast it gets up to speed.....

Ye as funny as it is this design is worse than just a chonky fat boi spaceship imo.

#

I also wish we had an upgraded space platform material that used carbon fibre, tungsten something, and a material from fulgora and have it allow you to put holes in the ship

#

Because I wanna create turret arms coming around the ship

Finished the first draft of my new ship. She’s a Galor class Cardassian Cruiser. I haven’t had the chance to test it out flying to Aquilo yet. And I just realized this morning I forgot to add cargo holds. But she’s inner planet solid at the very least. She maintains 90 km/s. Slow and steady.

main steppe Dec 6, 2024, 4:39 PM

Does it go any faster than 10 km/s?

wheat fulcrum Dec 6, 2024, 6:33 PM

I'm not a 100% sure, but i think it will maintain a stable 90km/s

Mid-later game solar spaceship for inner planets, flies infinitely through all inner planets including fulgora, never needs to stop ever, averages 300kps (due to fuel throttling)

The J.S.S. Glumbus - a very long vessel with a nuclear reactor, asteroid reprocessing, enough fuel prod to never throttle speed, and a speed of 370km/s leaving planets. Built for express delivery between Aquilo and the other planets. Proudly overengineered :)

Hermes II, mass transport ship for calcite and vulcanus machine imports.

#

Less wide compared to my previous Hermes I, also incorporates some better asteroid handling

#

much faster too, ~240 km/s. Can speed it up a little bit but that’d strain my ammo & fuel production

lucid mortar Jun 13, 2025, 2:31 AM

#

fav lil ship at the moment, ammo is resupplied primarily from planets. Plenty of circuits to keep everything running smoothly, engines are regulated by pumps (wish you could pull fuel levels directly, but oh well). Probably don't need 6 engines but at this point I'm designing more for the look than anything else
