NTSV Tegus-class Logistics Freighter

About The Pull Request

ough
Adds a Nanotrasen Logistics Freighter with a large shuttle for performing mining & engineering operations.

A full telecomms setup, a relay linking the shuttle with the mothership, and a spyglass kit facilities Field Technician to Mothership communication, allowing expedition teams to travel long distances whilst still remaining connected to the Tegus.

This PR also ports Fikou's spyglass rework from here (this was included in the original Columba PR, which is closed now!)
and the Tegu from here

unconnected vent and scrupper

no need for the manifold to go into the wall

please replace it with "tegus_shield_port"!

the ship looks rad. Good work!

[goober3]

the checks have somehow fixed themselves. Good.

[goober3]

the checks have somehow unfixed themselves. Bad.

Please give it a different name than the ship

The shutters on the subshuttle need to start closed. You get weird space wind and trouble with freespawning it otherwise.
I'd also like it one of the holofields was replaced with a cycling airlock.

lockers go on 28/-28

There needs to be a cable under the terminal for it to work

Use /three_quarters to reduce file size.

Give this room more of a tech bend. Try having some techfloor under the machines. To my eye it blends together with the rest of the ship far too much

Ditto down here

Where is THEIR BED
Also lockers

Don't mix catwalks and pumps. It looks like shit.

Set the density on the booze-o to 0 and pixelshift it onto a wall.

Firelocks on stairs can ruin the vertical effect. Consider moving it back

Run the supply pipe with the scrubber pipe so you don't have atmos machine - pipe overlap

Either or. If you want them to have the choice give them the boards and make it so they have to construct them.

MAKE IT SYMMETRICAL

I'd have airlocks leading into this room. Also ditch the stairs and the catwalks. Make it seem more like an office - ready room.

Right now the entire ship feels very flat I think this is because you only used 3-4 types of tiles, some stairs, and decalling. Flat isn't bad, but it can make things less interesting. I'd experiment with stronger decal colors, different tile types, and establishing theming to areas, because some of the placement feels flat out random to me. The mining room and bar are probably the most stand out offenders to this.

Also consider using some interior reinforced hull tiles here.

Honestly the nose could be expanded to give it some proper cargo areas. It really feels like a shape first design second ship, leading to things like the semi-random filing cabinets, or the mining room.

Airlocks this size should have 2 vents for quick cycling.

Consider making a subtype of Ions that are less efficient to encourage usage of the subshuttle. You can't really force it but it should be the preferable alternative.

review jumpscare

Needs a docking point for subshuttles on the outside.

this review sucks

Please for the love of god add lightswitches to the ship and subshuttle

Replace these with the new good rations

Give the other plasma pacman 5 sheets as well, or maybe replace it with some other kind of pacman for diversity. A bad roll on the solars might cause power issues. Also see if you can put the fuel in a crate or something. Having it sat on top of the generator looks weird.

Gngineering in general looks kind of empty, maybe add a locker or a desk for whoever works back here, a power monitoring console would also be appreciated. Also, replace the air canister with a high pressure airtank. You'll get maybe five uses out of the airlocks before the canister runs out and they stop working. The airlocks also straight up dont work until the canister is wrenched down.

Give the empty crates some junk or spare mining gear maybe. Add more trash around, maybe a crate shelf, make it FEEL like a cargo bay. Also, probably move that pipe dispenser to engineering. Not sure why its just sitting there.

Did you copy this disk from the vela/cepheus? see if you can get rid of those CMM designs on there.

Feels like there could be more in here. Maybe toss in a few cleaner grenades, a maid outfit or some maintenance loot.

Maybe make the mining camera a small item so it fits into pockets. Also the captains locker has independent captains gloves in it. I like the emergency signaler, nice touch. You can change the ships starting funds in the JSON, maybe give it a bit more than 2000 considering its dedicated to logistics?

Throw a crate at the end for the refined materials to be put into. Otherwise, very nice smelting setup! Functions well.

This computer doesn't seem to work. Also, why is it here? I'd replace it with something else.

I'd recommend throwing on some exterior defenses similar to the ones on the Vela to block potential debris or meteors. Good way to use this empty space.

1. The subshuttle starts with no fuel. 2. The prechargers are from the fucking PILL CLASS. they have 0 DENSITY. Please use normal prechargers. 3. The airlock on the subshuttle does not work. Might be related to how the layer adapters are placed, look at other ships airlocks to see how they do it. 4. Either add access buttons to the outside of the subshuttle or move them to where they can be pressed from both inside and outside. 5. Give the pilot a proximity crew pinpointer instead of a normal one.

yeah. i think i'm going to shelve this for a remap in the future. this ship could be much, much better.
