Behold, my new ship, built completely from scratch, designed to rival arguably the best default ship in the game (you could get the latter as a quest reward), but almost entirely using Nova Galactic parts. …Granted, it’s not nearly done yet, because it needs a buttload more engines, more weapons, and everything needs to be upgraded. But it’s got a bunch of amenities and about as much cargo as the aforementioned quest reward ship!

Note: Since taking this photo, I replaced the White Dwarf engine with another Supernova engine.

      As soon as I discovered that gem of a cockpit I never looked back! It’s so awesome that I reworked my already modified Razorleaf just to fit it into the design. Stairs!!

      Yeah, I pretty quickly rearranged the rooms to put the reactor further back, so I could put a thicker drive near the engines.

      That, and I swapped the reactor and drive locations so I could get a better reactor brand without sacrificing a couple engine mounting slots, because I don’t think 3 Supernovas will be enough.

      And all it cost me was some unnecessary passenger space. Guess the crew’s sleeping in shifts lol

    looks great! Maybe for a pittance of creds + hull, would some side thrusters and a porthole complete the look?

    “you came in that thing? you’re braver than I thought!” :)

    I’m digging the look. Only on class B ships myself at the moment but I’m looking forward to tinkering with some designs once I level up some more
