SVU General Purpose Ship GP-5

    SVU General Purpose Ship GP-5 Mod 1R3

    Game version
    Weapons 3.0
    Shokolad Vodka Union is delighted to present its first commercial project, the GP-5. The latest in a long line of personal vessels, this starship is designed to be simple and to replace your starter miner. Nicknamed "Guppy" by affectionate spacers, the GP-5 is the perfect choice to start your career in space. If you want to get the best out of it, use it in a fleet. There is plenty of room inside for you to refit it to your liking.

    Designer's Note: As this is my first submission to the dock, feedback is greatly welcome. The GP-5 was my first experience building a large ship, taking inspiration from other community builds. I experimented with a new hull shape and tried to add some interior elements.

    +–––––––––––––+

    • A monstrous 199-block power source—completely stabilized!—along with reactor enhancement chamber

    Fun fact: the jeep was conceived as a General Purpose vehicle by the US Army. Therefore, this ship is a space jeep!

    We designed the ship to allow you to easily customize the systems and add your own. The turrets can also be easily converted to suit an offensive or all-purpose role. Now get out there and explore the universe!

    Incredible miner, i will use it in my next game, and i love that you can customize yourself at your wish, that’s a really good idea
    Opa! Very Slavic ship indeed! it has space for squatting, drinking vodka, eating sausages and mayonnaise, and your comrades. Deserves nice gopnik award!
    Seems rather OK, but the paintjob needs to be improved and the hull is a bit boring. You can do pretty much using those basic armor blocks - and don't forget about decoratives, they are VERY cheap to produce,
