This is the result of the combined efforts of two great minds - engineer Garin and his apprentice Vanya Petrov.
Locked away in their apartment, along with a case of Bissmertnaya Vodka and countless cigarette packs, these two geniuses gave birth to plans for one of the lightest and fastest interplanetary couriers of 2079.

-- “ Nahuya we need a cryo system? Let's just let it run in Vacuum! The open cycle will do great to cool this hueta down.”
-- “Blyat! Molodets, Petrov! Look, we'll deliver our first shipment and our carefree retirement will be guaranteed! If only we live to see it, Vanechka...”

Initial simulator tests show an ability to sustain 20Gs of thrust for several days, although more real-world testing is required

Space ship on crack

#

All it takes is one meteor…

sick thistle
#

#

I threw around 49 meteors at this, still alive and holds pressure:p

floor is enough to protect? thought it needed walls

slim mason
#

Yeah

lethal wave
#

also you can put the thrusters inside if you want

#

can remove the wall they are installed on after the fact

#

wonder if placeholders intercept meteors

even loose items might do it

stack so many installed things that they explode into trash, effectively self healing

#

I did it with racks, but found floors easier to use and to repair

#

Also I wonder if ryokka can hold better

I have edited the ship a bit so it is more symmetrical in regards to the reactor now. There's also a bunch of empty vodka bottles and other fun things floating around!

If you're Russian, then it's better to take your head off. the words sound very bad
if you are not Russian and decided to do it, then don't do it.

a lot of questions immediately appear: " Why did the author decide to use Russian words in the English alphabet? why didn't he translate them into the same English words?"

#

I understand transcription of Name's, bc it.. Name's, but "spacibo", "molodec" and other... Weird

it would be better if there was Cyrillic, there would be more "immersion".
But I personally do not see any "immersion" when an Englishman speaks with a kind of "Russian" accent (it sounds very funny) or when Russian words are written in Latin

Welp,

My mother tongue is, in fact, russian

Me n my friends, russian-speaking and not alike, talk in english often

And we find it funny to converse in "comrade" english (the accent from movies you probably meant) and to write in "translit". Since I wanted it to be funny, I found this appropriate.

Immersive too, yeah. The characters are no englishmen, after all

I have originally considered writing the entire description in translit but thought it would be too much. Some russian words and a reference to an old russian sci-fi piece would be good. Those who get it will get it, is what I thought

Leftover fatalism from the red years perhaps

Also, thanks for reference to "Hyperboloid of engineer Garin", great book
