Just found this from way back as well that is another version of the same base made for arid/desert starts:

What a pretty little thing THAT is. "I LIKE it!! - Quote from movie 'The Rocketeer' (1991) Subscribed for my next start.
Here's one I've made a few times as a day one SV scout. I call it the "Sparrow Scout", and it comes with a detector, armor locker, fridge, and an O2 station. It has two gatling guns and an ammo storage of 750 which doubles as regular storage since a few thousand rounds of 15mm doesn't take much room. Mostly it is just for scouting out the map in the first few days. The Sparrow is only two blocks thick and the vitals are covered with a thin layer of plastic so you really don't want to fight with it, even a Zirax foot soldier could cause an internal chain reaction explosion that would take out the whole ship lol. The gatlings are mostly for hunting, or if I just happen to have a higher position on any lone Zirax drones I run across.
Also pretty and thought out. I normally bomb around in the rescued HV with stuff slapped on to upgrade, this is a much classier ride ...! I'll give it a try for a change of pace. EDIT: Is this in the Steam Workshop?? I found a ton of "Sparrow" and a few "Sparrow Scout" but they didn't look like this ... Didn't realize "Sparrow" was such a popular name for a craft. Makes sense but I was shocked at how many there are! I'd like to check this out, could you post a Workshop link?
Thanks. I honestly never thought of uploading it. Didn't think anyone would be interest in a tier 1 craft lol. Anyway, just uploaded the craft https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2786030054&searchtext=sparrow+scout
Thx! I'm at CV level right now, but intend another new run soon, have some things I want to try, this will be one.
Hi Commanders, this in my super compact and efficient base AXIS ONE, ideal for the start, available for only 22.99 € in the workshop. Hehe.-
Got a little starter HV I whipped up at some point. I called it the Skim Raider. Very cheap, but has pretty much everything a level 3 HV can have. Workshop link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2865716198 The resource amounts went up slightly because I had never been entirely satisfied with the forward velocity so I added a small thruster on the back.
My favorite base defender/scout/mission grinder/level grinder. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2786439693 Embrace the even.
