NEW SHIP.
MT-3 DEMERSA
Spoiler:
Length:283
Width:55
Height:44
Armament: 4 light railguns, light ion net defensive shield, heavy slow-deflection shield, heavy mining tractor
Propulsion: Hyperspace Interdeminsional drive, 4 underside ion thrusters, 4 underside repulsor drives, 4 underside atmospheric turbines, 2 aft repulsor drives, 6 aft ion thrusters
Other: Several gas collectors, 2 fusion reactors, large grappling claw, 4 matter 5 modular gas/liquid storage tanks, centrifuge, several material ejectors, 2 modular cargo containers, many solid cargo bays
Crew: 3-10; 1 pilot, 2 engineers min.
The Demersa Multipurpose Mining/Terraforming craft is the workhorse of the TSRFM Colonial and Resource fleets. A hundred of them, given adequate supplies, can make an uninhabitable world ready for colonization in less than half a year. A single can strip a large asteroid of value in a day.
Spoiler:

Top-view. Note the material ejection vent on the mid-section and the gas storage tanks.

I like that a lot! Very innovative design!
You changed the colour though... I think I prefer the red and iron better, it goes with your mechs, the Futureville defenses, my ships, and also makes it look more solid.
And a random question: if all the sub-light engines are underneath, does that mean it flies vertically?

It has several aft engines, the vertical ones only serve as support in high-gravity. I'm still playing around with the palette.
@Block: What constitutes a 'normal' design?

My old battle cruiser had all those, and it was a quarter of the size. Well, it didn't have a shooting range, but that's really because I decided it needed to hold fighters.

Let's see you try to build the interior for a 200m long vessel before you make that statement.

Well, I would have worked on the Demersa a little, maybe take a few screenshots of the new color scheme, but block banned me.

I will unban you, but next time don't look at things that you aren't supposed to. Or.... I'll ban you again.
