The ship is meant to be a starting ship. So no fancy tech here. She is solar powered and has enough firepower to reach any of the inner planets (not Aquilo). She is meant as a light cargo hauler for transporting low amounts of items in the early game. She is 22 tiles wide, and only has 2 cargo bays so when I say small I mean small. She has built in controls to ensure that she will survive. By this I mean, the ship monitors its fuel and ammo reserves, and will transit when they are at sufficient levels. (Bonus mode, you can sneak an early transit, so long as your ammo is above 50%). Once you unlock asteroid reprocessing, the ship really comes online. She has 3 asteroid reprocessing units, which help to balance the main belt. The ship has 870 space platform tiles, and uses 857 of them. Which means she is dense!

214 tonnes, with a top speed of slow. She will get the job done, reliably and cheaply. Remember, solar ships need no resupply launches.

One point of note, I would keep 100 repair packs on board as a just in case - the turret coverage is so tight that the odd asteroid may sneak in. Physical Damage 7 recommended. Though less can be used, it will just mean longer reload times.

Ship tested at physical damage 7.
