Description
Vanilla | Survival | No Subgrids | No Scripts | DLC | Supergrid!


Bearing 2 gigantic thrusters, the TX-100 can outrun most pursuants and carry its cargo safely even in the more dangerous regions of space.


Originally developed to supply far off outposts and traverse on the more dangerous space routes, the TX-100 has also quickly been picked up by smugglers and pirates, who use it mostly for outrunning the police while smuggling goods. The hydrogen thrusters give it space capability and also a nice boost while in atmospheres. Even with its large cargo container filled to the brim, it still performes remarkably well. Refilling it with hydrogen in remote locations is fairly easy thanks to the 2 O2/H2 generators.

Turn on supergridding in world options !!!

The two large thrusters are supergrid blocks. They have roughly the same perfomance as small grid large thrusters, so they are not even overpowered. They are not subgrids and clang does not give a flying ♥♥♥♥ about them. The phsics engine in fact sees them as small grid small thrusters. They are only visually larger. There's also 4 supergrid interior turrets on the bottom, they also work fine. You can even refill them, although it's kinda tricky finding the interface.

Ok, thanks.

As I said in the description, turn on supergridding in world options :D

For some reason creative tells me that 'some blocks are unavaliable in this world' when I try to spawn this. When I proceed it spawns model without those heavy thrusters, but with hydrogen thrusters instead. Beacon still says 'TX-100'.

I couldn't test it on triton obviously, does it have a higher gravity? The forward hydro thrusters alone should give you something like 1.1 g's of acceleration (or more, I can't remember if I hid some in the supergrid thrusters), that definitely was enough for all planets and I think it only took like 5-10% hydrogen for an ascent.

Nevermind, I finally figured out how to load the Interior turrets. This thing is so much more fun with all turrets firing! :D I have a question. It looks like a ship that should be able to get to orbit. I started on Triton and just can't do it, with empty cargo. Atmo engines begin to lose speed there at only 2000 m. I think it just might be that planet making it impossible. Can this ship make it to orbit on other worlds?

I build one of these in my Survival game and love it so far but how do you get ammo into the Interior turrets? I can't find any place that will allow me.

I tried projecting in both small and large grids projectors and both tell me incorrect grid... theres something wrong..

As I've already stated in the description: turn on supergridding in the world options :)

it says it has blocks not available in the world when trying to paste in creative for testing purposes, before going building using a projector in surival online server... too bad...

Definitely a gunship with cargo space. And a beautiful one
