    Utility Spaceship Contest
    The latest release to starmade revealed to us that crafting and mining will be quite important in future gameplay. After searching the community content for quite some time, I found out that there were very few salvage ships available for download, so I decided to make one myself. To encourage people to do the same I hosted a Utility ship contest, so the StarMade community can download some really cool, and functional ships.

    Although not every ship on this list is downloadable, I hope they can be a source of inspiration for you guys to build enjoyable, useful ships in the future!



    Rewards:

    • at the moment there isnt any prize or reward yet, other than fame, and the winner-title, but feel free to come up with ideas to rewards.

    rules/guidelines:

    • The ship must have some sort of function in the game (mining, repair, etc.) Combat-salvagers (or battle-miner) will be allowed. Everything that have some functionality in game other than weapons, is allowed.
    • practicality is important, since people actually will use these ships.
    • Design will be quite important. It doesnt have to be super beautiful, but its important that things looks like it's supposed to be exactly where it is (for instance a structure that looks sturdy) Interior will also be judged as a part of the overall design.
    • ships that encourage people to team up as a crew in one ship is a big plus in this contest (Not required).
    • ships fitted with Logic that make sence, is not required, but helps the design to become more "alive" and therefore more interesting. User-friendliness is also important to logic added to ships.
    • enjoyable features and overall design.

    Small utility-ship

    Small salvage/repair ship. It is not intended for front line action, built with cost in mind, and only enough shielding to block flying space debris. The crane is actually a repair turret. The salvage beams face forward through the drill. This ship would be great to keep around your base for refitting your war ships as they come and go from battle.

    Hi all people, you never thought, what happens to the ships with AI module that you lose yourself, turrets or drones?

    Simple, they join the federation of free droids, example is this salvage drone

    After the Exodus, the Rendii empire's population was even further reduced, and crew requirements for the old MK I utility ships began to show the strain. The Answer presented was the MK II Utility corvette.

    Just a little salvager i made a while ago, though i have no idea how effective the salvage array is now after the changes. It comes with a full interior, as well as a jumpdrive for fast travel and missiles in case those pesky pirates try to take your ores. :)

    Also features my one time use of "magnetic beams" to extend and retract different parts of the ship.

    The Froe is classified as a Siege Salvager. She is designed to be able to raid pirate stations and fend off the defensive forces guarding them. Her prominent offensive weapon is two damage optimized Mb462 IR missile pods. She is also a rather efficient harvester with a Sc-27x10 Harvester Beam and automatic storage.

    While capable of being operated by a single pilot she has life support and fold out cots for two but no dedicated shower facilities so you'd better pick a co-pilot you're comfortable with. She also has a jump drive for longer journeys but it's not a very fast one.

    Medium-sized utility-ship


      • (10 001-100 000) blocks
    BI Asteroid Salvager is a salvage ship specially
    designed for mining asteroids. The ship has
    logic-powered lights which can be controlled
    from the bridge of the ship.

    This salvage-ship currently have 2 salvage systems installed:
    - Big turret salvager
    - Smaller precision salvager

    Download: http://starmadedock.net/content/bi-asteroid-salvager.1778/





    The Maul is the pride of the mining corps. She's a fully equipped light frigate with all the amenities. Her massive Sc-115x10 Harvester Beam makes light work of asteroids and is fairly good at chewing away at planets. The automatic material collection system will also automatically sort your spoils. The Maul may not be a combat salvager but the on board defense turrets should protect you from light pirate raids.

    Designed to keep a crew of 12 comfortable she has medical and dedicated shower facilities, as well as a galley/kitchen. The Maul has two UCS SMART Airlocks for entering the ship as well and small cargo bay needed to store supplies for long journeys as the ship has no nutrition producing facilities.

    While she doesn't have a dedicated landing pad like the Axe the Maul does have two docking clamps for Chisels or similarly size craft or up to 4 L0 cargo pods.

    It's a Small-Medium Cargo Ship with a detailed interior, weighing in at ~1400 mass.

    Includes two cargo crates and eight point defense turrets, because pirates with missiles are mean and cost you money.

    The ship was created to transport goods across the solar systems although it was first later when the LDCT bought the shipyard that the Tortoise was equipped with a jump drive.
    The ship is a small long distance transportation ship for cargo. the crew consists of minimal 3 members although 5 is recommended.
    The Tortoise's main defences is it's "speed", shield capacity and 3 small turrets that have been implemented in case of meteor rain.

    I feel like everyone should of had one vote for the different classes as it looks like most people, including myself, only voted for the larger ships.
