No, 1G is 'the easiest' (for non-Default) Scenarios. For Default Scenarios it's usualy on the safe side, with a few exceptions (those top at around 1.2g). I let the game do the math for me and start/load a savegame where M/V is enabled. sbp, im -> et voilà, I have my vessel with full Cargo Slots. This way i also really know how it handles - and i'm very confused by the Change on the behaviour of the SV-RCS with the 'current' experimental. How I calculate, basicly as i just said above and look at the values. If I have more than 10m/s2, it beats 1G, if ist more than 20m/s it beats 2g, and so on... (as far as I'm aware of the highest G on a Default-planet is 1.17g) I then aim for the thrust I need to lift off at least 2g (Them danm neutron stars ; ED) TBH, with as many hours as I have, I usualy plan/build ahead 'automaticly' or it's very simple to nudge the missing thrusters in. hth
If you want to know how much MN or KN you need to achieve lift ahead of time it is fairly simple math. 1KN = 1m/s2 thrust for a weight of 1 ton (for SV calcs) 1MN = 1m/s2 thrust for a weight of 1000ton (for CV calcs) To know how much thrust your fully loaded (according to your specs) SV would have the equation would be something like this. Let's say you have a 50ton vessel carrying 50 tons of cargo with a lift of 300KN Thrust in KN / (dry tonnage + cargo tonnage) = M/S2 300 / (50+50) = 3m/s2 (see picture below) To slowly take off from a planet you need (10*gravity) +1 of thrust. (Yes, I rounded to 10 per g). If anybody is actually interested in the math I can put together a more detailed (and much more thoroughly tested) post. Cheers,
Now that you have a Badger to haul all that cargo, why not a ship to gank it? Introducing the Caldari's finest of stealth bomber technology, The Manticore. ============================================================= I received good feed back from the Badger build I did a couple days ago so I decided to refine and release one of my favourite creations. I just love the way the ship flys, it is great for coming in dropping its payload and flying off. Alot of work has gone into this and hopefully you enjoy it just as much! If you do like, comment, subscribe! Let me know what you would like to see next! I am focusing on just the Caldari line of ships, I might do Winmattar, the other ships have too many curves and there just are not enough curve blocks to recreate them. I might try them down the line, but let us focus on the 2 best races first. Thank you for the positive feed back, constructive criticism is welcome. I am trying to keep things roughly to scale also. Destroyers and Frigates will be built as SVs and anything bigger will be a CV. I would love to build a station some time, that will take alot of work.

Deep Space Exploration Versatiles is proud to present our newest masterpiece, the Pandora. She's a light Transporter with the role of medical evacuations of stranded People. Pilot aside, she can carry 8 passengers of which 6 have their own 'personal box' (Cargo 250). With a top team of highly qualified engineers, we've been able to install the following in this Small Vessel: * CV Warp * CV Food Processor * HV Clone Chamber * HV Med Station You'll need good connections with local authorties to get your hands on this ship (needs GM rights to spawn). This said, she's able to beat 3g within a mass/volume Environment whith the generators run at 96%. Her (hull) design was inspired by the Hunger Games / Tributes of Panem. Spoiler: Images Simply extract the zipfile within your blueprints Directory to have her (RED Edition) in your Collection. For the (regular) spawnable blueprint, please refer to the Workshop page: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1781584908
Introducing The Scorpion! This ship may be little, but it packs a big sting! This is an Alpha 10 SV, and unlocks at level 10. It won't break the bank, but it will keep your enemies on their toes! Featuring the not patent pending stinger gun, as well as two pincers, both equipped with a gatling gun and a rocket launcher! As if that weren't enough, the mandibles of death also come equipped with two rocket launchers! If you're counting (and you are), that's three gatling guns and four rocket launchers. Of course, you need more than guns while traveling through the hostile wilds of space. That's why it comes fully equipped with two constructors, 2 refrigerators, 2 armor lockers, two cockpits, and a passenger seat. All doors are double armored, for your protection while taking out drones and enemy bases! It also has over 4500 SU storage space, 2000 SU ammo storage, an O2 station, wireless, and a detector. With this ship, you'll be able to explore, find, and loot to your hearts content! Speaking of armor, it is built out of hardened steel, and has a shield generator. The exterior cockpit is also armored. This will keep you safe, while your enemies curse the bullets bouncing off you! It also features new Moat technology! Run up the outside ramps to the pincer arms, and raise the ramps. Presto! Your enemies now have a moat they cannot climb over. Stand on top, and pick them off with ease, while remaining safely out of their reach (not applicable to ranged attacks). To facilitate your space traveling needs, it also has a warp drive. It has three generators, placed strategically around the ship. Losing one generator no longer means everything goes boom! Despite packing in all these goodies, it's still maneuverable and speedy. You might get a speeding ticket, but you won't get outrun! Get this stinging ship while supplies last! It may not be a Dubrovnik, but it beats a stick in the eye!
You should start a new brand, may I recommend Dobrovnot Commodities. I think it's catchy and not close enough for a trademark suit All joking aside i have always been of the opinion that if it fulfills it's purpose it is good. Well done good sir. Cheers,
So, ummm, do you ever sleep? I mean, how do you keep cranking these out like this?! I think you produced 2 or 3 ships in the time it took me to do one! And my ships, while they beat a stick in the eye, are definitely not Dubrovniks...
I have a common full time job. I do those things only in the evening, and still I´m not that crazy like jrandall! He´s the real working machine. Whe I began building in Empyrion, it took me usually weeks to finish a build.

Oh no! I HAVE TO include this into my array of vessels NOW! Fine looking SV btw. Next in the row...an HV called Tennyson? "We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield"
