Description
The SMIDR XS Construction ship series is part of a line of vessels, designed to serve as basic, cheap but efficent tools for new established colonies.

V.M.E BASIC vessels are cheap, performance friendly ships, that were created for multiplayer-games with strict PCU-limits. They are fast and easy to build, full vanilla and don't require any DLCs, mods, scripts or subgrids.


The A.IS-BSC-01 comes with an open cockpit for maximum overview, but offers no integrated oxygen supply. It's best suited for earth-like planets with a breathable atmosphere.


Datasheet
Blocks: 66
Non-armor blocks: 38
PCU: 936
Dry mass: 14,742

Key features
  • Small profile
    Less than one large grid block in high and two in width including decent space to maneuver, guarantee hassle-free working in tight places and allow you to store the SMIDR in even the smallest hangers.
  • Connected frame
    All functional parts of this vessel are connected directly to each other. You can leave out or grind down all armor, lights, lcds and other decorative elements in order to save even more PCU, without the ship falling apart or loosing crucial functions.
  • Basic protection
    A simple rollcage of light armor blocks can prevent damage from the thrusters, should you manage to accidently land the SMIDR on the top.
  • Lots of space
    Container and welder offer capacities equal to two medium cargo containers, plus the connector. Additionally you can store personal items like tools and bottles in the cockpit.
  • Battery powered
    This vessel is electricial-powered and does not require any fuel or uranium to function. Attach it to your homebase or mothership via connector and use hotkey 6 on Toolbar 1 to recharge you battery.
  • Lift & pull
    A landing gear combined with light weight and a respectable amount of up-thrust allow you to give stranded miners a tow or help your friend to tip his rover back on it's wheels.

This is an awesome line of SG utility ships! I always find myself bashing together an ad hoc mini-utility ship in a moment of need, so I searched for welder ships etc. These may not be deluxe super-featured do-everything ships (re: that demanding dude who wanted upside down Xtra cargo), but you totally killed it for your stated intent/features. AND as you said, we can knock off another 125 PCU or so with all the little frills (or even 250 PCU if we sub in a hinge part for the connector) for a 600-750 PCU ship. That's pretty awesome.

Did some quick SG field repairs and rearming on my other SG grids. Now I'm totally going to knock out 2-3 LG light armor blocks and make a parking bay for the enclosed XS ones on all my smaller LG ships.

really easy to build, thx

Oh, I figure you probably have already done the "miner" mode, just curious for feedback.
dBforte 10 Nov, 2019 @ 11:54am 
Thanks for the great ship and idea. For my personal use I modified it, replacing the welder with a drill, so I get a low cost miner earlier in the game. If you care, ping me, we'll figure a way out to send it to you for your review.

Lets make a try. Start new world, earth like 1.0G, maximum Block inventory size. Spawn your ship and fill your welder,container and connector. Full welder+half container and you rship like a rock falling down. I doing my homework. And your ship is really good design but not working upside down and maximum block inventory size. And one more thing: Gyroscope paced a welder, if i cut down welder block gyro is gone. Place it armour block. Keep up your good work, this ship is useful and easily make it to flex or drill too.

@Xenomorph: Cargo mass is calculated by your inventory-settings. A load of 100,000 kg will only count as 10,000 kg if "x10" inventory multiplier is set, so the ship works fine with any modifier you choose.

Please do your homework before spreading false information.

Block Inventory size? If maximum= 11000L+33000L+33000L =1 large thruster not enough and not working upside down. Maybe cool design but not enough good,
