RX9 Yorkshire BASIC

    RX9 Yorkshire BASIC MK2

    After some time, HHW is proud to present the second iteration in our YORKSHIRE line of heavy industry freighters!


    + Removable, modular large cargo containers
    + Rotating sideshields and container clamps to allow docking/undocking of compatible (51L x 25W x 11H) cargo containers
    + Multiple small turret mounts for rudimentary point defense or swatting of minor pirates
    + 6 large turret hardpoints
    + 3 dorsal-axial gun mounts
    + ~50K shield capacity (~1.5K regen)
    + ~1M power capacity
    + New Jumpdrive
    + Completely redesigned interior (2-level accessible by lift)
    ----VitaMAX dining hall and crew recreation area
    ----Fully visualized cockpit with copilot chair
    +Enlarged engines -- capable of near 1:1 thrust:mass when empty, slightly less when fully laden

    Future Plans: I hope to continue to retrofit this ship as Starmade develops (same as the Staghound). Until a more convenient painting tool becomes available in Starmade, I will probably hold off painted versions.




    Part II of a line of industrial haulers, the Yorkshire is a massive beast designed to cart all your precious little ship parts whether the trip be shop-to-shop or from warehouse to shipyard.

    At nearly 300m long, this "Atlas" of a craft has six main cargo bays and two tanks (for all your sloppy, sloshy cargo needs). Please note that the cargo pods do not sport doors at this time.

    As the stock-basic version sports no defenses and a hull made of laser-magnets, it is recommended to set aside several convoy escorts for protection.

    As of this time, we are only accepting pre-orders for the stock-basic version, which consists of grey hull, grey hull, and grey hull -- in that order. Please note that, in your games, beginners hungry for more cargo space may take measures to suck the universe dry of grey hull to manufacture this monstrosity, as it is really quite easy to build -- all basic parts, after all.

    Disclaimer: we take no responsibility for side-shield arms that don't move and cargo bay clamp thingies that don't un-clamp. Please consult the user manual for more information.

    Pros:
    + Tons of space for cargo! Or other things...
    + More relative engine power than the Staghound!
    + Lots of fun to run into things with.
    + Co-pilot friendly!
    + Cockpit with leg-room!
    + Large "upgrade spaces" to be used for ship upgrades like jumpdrives and shields.

    Cons:
    - Still not enough engine power to move like a fighter.
    - Why do the pods still not have doors!?
    - Relatively high number of included power capacitors may make a dent in the early-player's bank account.
    -May need to add lighting.
    - No shields. Aw.

    FUTURE PLANS: I pushed this ship out very early, so that it could be in a finished state and just, well, out. They may not come for quite a while, but expect painted and specialized versions of this ship. If Schema ever implements volumetric cargo storage, I may update this blueprint to have all the spaces in the cargo pods accounted for.

    This is cool, could use some more exterior improvement in my opinion, but then again you don't see anyone making cargo ships as much
    Looks really good RP wise. I'll try it out.

    Thanks for the review!

    I have a dream that one day, Schema will implement volumetric cargo storage. Then, perhaps this ship will be useful for more than just RP. :)
