Construct (Update)

About the PR

Updates the NT Construct to better align with ship guidelines. This is still the ultimate DIY shuttle, but it now comes with just enough to make the experience more bearable.

• Expand the internal space to make room for new goodies.
• Add a fax machine (with one single paper) and station records computer.
• Add a latejoin spawn point.
• Add defib and extinguisher cabinets.
• Change to a standard ship generator. No need to anchor and turn it on anymore.
• Swap some machines around. The generator can now be reached without unanchoring things.
• Rework the wiring. Previously, if you wanted to move the generator and/or substation, there was wiring under the windows to deal with (or ignore). Now there is not. There is more wiring than is necessary. This is deliberate and intentional: having a bit of spare wire is always nice when you expand and change things around.
• Add a basic EVA wallstorage unit, so you can access the rest of the ship without having to run off and buy a separate suit first.
• Add oxygen and nitrogen canisters for breathing enjoyers. These cannot be reached without unanchoring, but then, this is a DIY ship.
• Add a single emergency light.

Additionally, the price is lowered price to $10,500. Appraises at $9,063 after purchase, ~15% markup. Used to be over 31% markup – worse value than some of the scrapyard shuttles you arguably get more stuff from!

Why / Balance

Vox, in part. Also because the Construct had a few pain points. I've worked with so many Constructs myself, I felt I wanted to improve it.

How to test

Buy a Construct and try it out.
