    Wait wait wait.... There's passive push modules in the engines? And they can rotate? AND IT $@$@^#& WORKS?!?!?!?!

    Update:
    Works with Shipyards
    wireless access panels in wings for wireless re-connect after shipyard
    Auto-launch, and Dock shuttles and Mule
    Full 2.5:1 thrust ratio with full Overdrive

    This is by far my most favorite Sci-fi ship, so I wanted to make sure I did it justice. To this end I made the ship as faithfully as I could. This is a 1 to 1 scale working ship with actual rotatable, and stow-able engines. The "gravity field" ring also turns around the mid section of the ship giving it a nice effect. I had a hard time with the solar panels on the ship, and I debated on weather or not to include them, but in the end I went ahead and left them on.

    If you'd like to modify the design and you have any kind of questions about logic or anything, then drop me a line, and I'll help you out. I've opened a thread in the Shipyard forum so you guys can make suggestions about possible improvements or corrections Serenity Firefly class Transport

    Really great ship! I would love to see a version of the latest edition without the chain drive since certain servers don't allow that many jump drive computers in a ship and it causes lag, but otherwise this is an amazing ship. I can't seem to figure out how to get the engine spinning (not the grav ring) anymore like it used to.

    This is BEAUTIFUL! I've seen larger attempts that have less functionality than this boat. You, sir, are a genius!! I love everything about it, especially the starburst effect

    Wow, thanks man :)

    It's been allot of trail and error to get it to where it is now. There's still room for improvement.

    I'm glad you like it.

    Hard to fly but really cool! (probably just need to get used to it)

    Small note: you may be able to get a little more space in the interior if you use some wedges for the walls.

    Yeah, a 2.5 thrust to mass, does take some getting used to. ;)

    As far a room in the interior... I'm always looking for ways to add more room. On the next revision, I'll take a look. Thanks for the tip.

    And thanks for the awesome review
    Have fun :)

    You even added doors to cover up where the shuttle leaves! How did you get it so automated like that?

    Best firefly yet!

    "how did you get it so automated like that?"...

    With 7 blocks of logic and 2 wireless blocks per shuttle. I've got an activation block next to the docker on the shuttle which is also connected to a wireless block which controls the shuttle bay doors.

    I'm really glad you like it. It took me a couple of days to figure out how to get it just right. I tried soo hard to get it all to work with one inner ship remote, but alas, I needed two.

    Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to improve the ship. I rely on comments such as these to make my ships better :)

    Thanks

    It's getting there. Unfortunately, the shuttle's remote docking clamp doesn't work. Also the control block for the crew transfer port is blocked off from the inside of the ship.

    I look forward to see how you refine the ship next.

    Fixed in V1-3

    Thanks :)

    i like it. a ton. useful for cargo and the ship can dock to another one to transfer crew though cruise control is a pit slow. could ya speed it up a bit?

    I'm glad you like it. the docking for "crew transfer" at the front of the ship is on all of my ships, so I had to include it. It makes it so much easier to move on and off the ship at a station.

    Once Shine implements the new cargo system, I'm hoping that the rather large cargo area will actually be useful for actual cargo. Wouldn't that be nice.

    Cruise control is slow because, it isn't being done by passive push. All the movement from cruise control is from the rotatable engines. Each engine only has 300 blocks each room in them for tractor beams.

    Maybe after I get the shuttle bay doors working, I'll be able to bump up cruise control a bit. I have no idea how I would do that, so no promises.

    And thanks for the positive review :)
