When the humanity needs a new planet...

The STX spacecraft factory has the perfect vessel to reach new worlds. There's everithing Inside the cargo bay what an astronaut needs to make a colony. The ship has 3 pressure doors, so two sunray can connect to each other when its needed.

Controls: Simple VTOL at the take off. 4 to ignite the hyperspace engines. 8+Trim down moves the landing pads.

1+VTOL opens the cargo lift with the Mars Rover.

5 arms the upside turret. Use VTOL and Trim to control it

Good luck out there, And find us a new home!

    This build scored very well, but the handling decreased the final score. Unfortunately your entry did not reach the first three places, but it did receive an honorable mention in the forum post announcing the results.

    Judging time is upon us! Do not feel down about any bad scores, as I am a very harsh grader. You will outperform many.
    Looks: 7/10. Strong shape with a few weird shapes and odd details, but still looks good.
    Feasibility/preparedness: 8/10. A whole rover as well as cargo. Decent arsenal. A little small though.
    Handling: 3/10. Very hard to control. I think more RCNs would have been helpful.
    Personal enjoyment: 8/10. Something about this entry appeals to me. It looks practical, and the rover is a good addition.

    @TheLazyFlyer yes the true is i just learning how to build spaceships like this one. This is only my 2 spacecraft , but i saw it flyes really unconrollable at high speed. The rover is working, just needs to reconnect the car engines to the wheels. That's because i maded a subassebly out of it and then uploaded it as a successor. So this space technology is a bit new for me, but thanks

    It's amazing but I'm having trouble controlling it on iOS :P is that just a device thing? If not I recommend looking into that as it tends to do backflips and front flips when in warp mode even when altering trim, also I was wondering if the rover can drive by itself, sorry if I'm sounding cruel but the truth is that this is a vehicle if been looking for since the game was released and you've managed to make it do what I've always wanted while making it look amazing and I believe you've done a great job already, definately upvote
