    Jupiter Mining Corporation Transport Ship - Starbug







    The largest of the standard JMC transports, Starbug sports an all terrain landing system, huge amounts of cargo space, and an incredibly resistant hull! (Warranty void if exposed to weapons fire or acid.)

    Includes a large interior, with not one, not two, but SIX rooms, an assortment of closets, and a holo-projection chamber.

    - Cockpit



    - Central Room



    - Bunks



    - Storage Room

    Anyway, this took me the better part of a day, and this ship is really not designed for combat. It's got MINIMAL shields, no weaponry except one D1000 Missile launcher disguised as a rubbish chute, for asteroid destruction purposes, and it's not superfast. I've been trying to keep it as close to the version from the TV shows and books as I can, so it's not a war machine. And it will get eaten alive by just about anything larger than a person holding a handgun.



    But it's got a relatively large amount of empty space in the back, and if you're willing to rip apart the interior, you could probably squeeze some good armaments and shields into it. Meh, I enjoy it as is.

    I am not personally familer with this ship (apparently from a TV series or something?), but I still think it is quite interesting/cool.

    Does it run into bay doors all the time?

    Every single time I launch it from the station dock it gets a leg caught on something or other, usually flinging the blue midget I\'m building across space.

    Is pretty cool, I\'ve never thought of using plex doors like that

    An alternate version of this ship from Jupiter Military Corporation, in an attempt to save money via reuse of transport chassis. Heavily modifies, this ship incorporates two large scale antimatter cannons, a military grade heavy unguided rocket launcher, heavy shielding, strong pulse emitters, and a small docking bay.



    In addition, two more engines have been built in, and each individual engine increased in power.

    But this all comes in at the cost of limited transport space, and almost no interior space. Only one cockpit, and a small bunk room is available.





    Obtain one here!



    This version is much more powerful, and could probably be used much more readily in starmade, without just being blown up by the first isanth you find. Could likely contend with other ships of similar mass, but I\'m not exactly an expert at ship building, so your mileage may vary.
