so it's my entry for the colony ship challenge. I still don't know what to call it. I'm thinking something around...... This ship was not built for deluxe flying, no it was built for transporting boring cargo. In fact most of the actual ship is depressurized. But it's still cool. The crew usually sleep with the cargo, which is pressurized. It does have one of the best engines their are, I like to call it the blue plasma engine. Made by yours truly, I. It's a mix between a ion engine and a fusion engine. Quite powerful, which makes up for the little amount of food and water on the ship because of how fast it is in space. It has only the best armor there is. (I can't actually make I have armor because I don't know how to make things have better damage resistance) (this is one of the first times I have used fuselages as a main building block)

A decent build for the challenge. I'm a tough grader, so don't feel down about your score, it will be better than a lot of entries in the challenge. Here's your score:
Looks: 5/10. A decent look, but you could do some smoothing out on the shape.
Preparedness/feasibility: 8/10. Looks like a colony ship, and the detachers are nice. I wish it had some means of self defense though.
Handling: 3/10. It flies, but pitching down is catastrophic. It is wobbly too.
Personal enjoyment: 8/10. I liked this entry. It looks practical, which is nice.
Thanks for participating! The competition ranking should come in a few days.
