NIE Scarab Patrol Vessel - A Ship for you to use if you want (Not a Backer Submission)

[nokturnihs]

Tsunamayo, It sounded in your latest video like you'd really like some more ships to fill in the NPC ranks. So... I thought I'd throw you my first combat vessel for you to check out and see if it's suitable for your needs - it's not part of my official Corporate mogul submissions but I did build it out as a NIE ship as it could easily be purchased by pirates/police/mercenaries/etc and used for whatever. I haven't really done much in regards to combat in game (just played in single player working on those ships) - so.... let me know what you think. Feel free to try it out anyone else who wants to as well. It's a smallish ship and I'd love feedback on the combat side of things.

Thanks, hope it helps, -Nokturnihs-

Nox Imperium Enterprsises Introduces:

The Scarab Patrol Vessel That mining operation of yours need a little extra protection while you are getting established? How about a little protection for that luxury transport you ordered? How about a personal protection vessel for your outpost? Well the NIE Scarab may be just for you!

The Scarab Patrol Model features a full suite of your most desired features, from atmospheric flight mode to auto-targeting weapons systems! Suitable for a single pilot, the scarab even includes a small personal food processing device, a head and a fold-out sleeping area!

Weapons systems that come stock for the Scarab include the following:

• NIE Quad Heavy Blaster Turret (Auto-targeting) - When engaged in close quarters combat unleash hell with this NIE exclusive left-mounted weapons system.
• NIE "AcidWash" Beam Turret (Auto-Targeting) - Nox Imperium Enterprises doesn't specialize in weapons as a company, but the AcidWash Beam turrret is something special - rip through the toughest shields and wipe out all the opposition with this right-mounted smart turret!
• NIE Twin Precision Sniper Cannons - Sometimes keeping away from your enemy is a better solution, and sometimes warning shots themselves can defeat a confrontation before it starts. top-mounted twin sniper cannons can strike at range and while they aren't the most impressive part of the scarab's arsenal they can make the difference and complement the other two weapons systems, providing options for all engagement ranges!

In addition to the offensive systems, feel secure with our latest shield technology and never worry about power with our patented reactor systems!

Hey @tsunamayo can you answer me a question on this build for future reference? The docking ramp - will it meet air-tightness standards?

[tsunamayo]

Thanks mate, sorry I need to catch up on a lot of the submissions... So by docking ramp you mean on your own build? Unfortunately no I wont be able to compute it with children entity, but I definitely want to see ramp like that (I made one on my build), so I will see what I can do... Be it a dedicated block or something else.

[nokturnihs]

Had some thoughts on the air-tightness subject - could you use something similar to the shipyard module to define "pressurized" parts of the ship (everything inside the yellow box can breath)? Might be a way to use similar systems for ease of use, and also reduce performance/computation costs - could have solid blocks/small bricks touching the edges provide stability, and if the stability gets too low then the atmosphere in the area is depleted (and the dying begins). Also would only add one partial block to submitted builds....
