Far Traveler, The Inquiry, Exploration ship

    Far Traveler, The Inquiry, Exploration ship 1.0


    The Far Traveller is proud to present a new vessel for those who wish to explore the universe.
    This new vessel has been designed for short term exploration schedules. Although there is plenty of room for supplies there is no room for proper beds nor other facilities.
    The Inquiry is our first vertical vessel and our first vessel with only one large thruster unit. This thruster is the same powerful type used on the Seeker.
    While the Inquiry might seem small next to the large Seeker it is still a capable ship, equipped with two small double barrelled defence turrets it can destroy small asteroids, missiles, and even fight of small pirate ships if the pilot is competent enough!
    The Core of the Inquiry is covered with hardened armour and forcefields.
    While the Inquiry might be a smaller vessel she still needs proper protection for her crew and therefore we have created and installed a small automated airlock with access from underneath the ship, all you need to remember is to close the outer door whenever you enter/exit.

    So if you enjoy zooming around in space searching for new stations and/or transporting small amounts of goods or people then the Inquiry is the ship for you, she's small enough to be manned by one man and is therefore the best option for a personal exploration ship!

    Enjoy The Inquiry!

    The ship itself is excellent, but it could use a salvage system.

    Thank you for the review.
    I do see why you think it needs a salvage system but please bear in mind that this is an exploration ship not a miner or a salvage ship.
    I am going to build a dedicated mining/salvage ship at some point.
    Vertical ships are all the rage these days, and everyone and their dog has one.
    However, this one really stands out with it's interesting and creative design. I agree the turrets need work, but that can be overlooked when the ship itself is literally the meaning of beauty.
    One of the most interesting vertical designs I've seen so far. Excellent interior and exterior.
    This is a ship with a very innovative design. A real own personality. It’s a ship any astronaut won’t mind being seen in.

    I had however a bit of trouble getting into the core. The force field would activate and you would get stuck. Soma additional thought might also be directed at its defensive qualities. The current turret system would not efficiently defend against any target because of its restricted movement.

    All in all a design I’ll keep my eye on for any future improvements.
    nice ship
