[VEB Robotron] Medium Frigate "Sigmund Jaehn" with mining probes and 370k cargo capacity

    [VEB Robotron] Medium Frigate "Sigmund Jaehn" with mining probes and 370k cargo capacity 2.0

    Greetings!

    As a consequence of the new fleet mechanics, I decided to work on a (nearly) complete rebuild of the ship. The Sigmund Jaehn has now become a proper deep space exploration vessel with satisfying stats. In the frame of improving firepower, I also reduced the amount of indivual weapon systems. Hence, the corresponding controllers now fit into a single hotbar.

    Mining probes can be relased in order to mine sectors under the vigilant "eyes" of a powerful turret system, bringing home valuable ressources without the need to mine manually. ;)

    These drones are based on the great work of Peekie30: Vespa Drone Rack

    Furthermore, I worked on the role-play aspects too. While refitting the interior of the ship, a "Red Alert"-System was installed, preparing the ship visually for an upcoming fight.

    Have fun and fly safe!
    Honestly, I was first unsure about the new cargo system, expecting a lot of refitting to the ship(s) to make it work. In the end, the time needed to implement this system was adequate and, in addition, I fell in love with the implementation. Watching the boxes moving around when for example the salvage unit is unloaded by auto-pull via the rail system is nerd-porn for the eyes. ;)



    Enjoy the new version of the ship with an approximate cargo capacity of 170 k mass units in an entirely new sort-and-store system.
