When planets were introduced, a set of pre-designed vehicles were created to help the Engineers on their endeavors. Among the two projected blueprints found in the EasyStation on planets was the CarrierShipProjector.

Description

For lack of a better name we will refer to this VTOL as Carrier Ship. This VTOL has a mass of 144,338 Kg. It uses Atmospheric Thrusters as its main source of propulsion. Despite its weapon mounts it appears this VTOL is more of a support vessel than a true attack vessel.

The vehicle lacks side thrusters, making it rather clumsy for a transport vehicle. Its main source of power is an array of batteries combined with small reactors. This is complicated by the fact that the conveyors need power to automatically pull the Uranium Ingots. An Engineers' first set of Uranium ingots will be used up to charge the array of batteries. Aside from these setbacks, the ship flies relatively decently, if it wasn't for its fragile body and landing system.

Hydrogen thrusters seem to be used as a defensive escape precaution rather than out of necessity. Since these Hydrogen thrusters are placed in the stern of the vessel, it is assumed it was made for a quick drop-off and escape design.

The design is armed enough, but the Pilot should be mindful of landings, because this vehicle does not forgive rough landings. Consider adding more landing gear yourself to be on the safe side.
