u/-TRI-HEX-

It took a little over a week to chip away at it, but the Mirounga Class Starter Ships (T1 & T2) are now all uploaded to the Workshop.

The idea behind this was to have an inexpensive base model T1 Ship to start with (Model 00 Helmsman), and a series of small but tough and economical T2 Ships built on that hull - one for every Captain type in the game (Model 01 to 09), just something easy and affordable to transition to once you acquired any Captain.

For anyone that would like to check it out, or mb use one of the ships - the collection is here.

There are also some supplementary items (linked in the Steam description) which includes the turrets, the fighters (from the static decorations on Model 05), and one art piece (Model 00 landed, with its wings folded up).

Hope you guys like it, and plz let me know if you see any errors or omissions in the Workshop.

I notice one of my .dat files is missing, the Star Citizen Basher I first uploaded to the Workshop.
No stress really, I don't plan on updating that design (unless it ends up broken and I need to update it), but if it's happened once it might happen again to a ship I do want to update later down the track.

For me, the files are stored locally here:
Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\Avorion\ships\workshop.
Without that file Avorion wont let me edit/update Workshop designs (only the text and images):

Not too sure what's happened to make this local file disappear, but if anyone (MB the Devs?) knows how to re-generate this .dat file It'd be greatly appreciated.

Also, you guys seem to be getting a little bored of the Mirounga Class Sloops (100% understandable, they are just different patterns of the same core hull), so rather then upload them one at a time as I post them to the workshop - I'll wait till they're all done & post the completed collection.

Hauler and Smuggler Variants of the Mirounga Class Sloop Starter-Ship, designed for Merchant and Smuggler Captains respectively.

Vendor Pattern and Bootlegger Pattern on Steam for anyone who want to try them out.
Warning though! As these are only T2 ships, their cargo space is nominal at best - so these ships are really just designed to move tiny amounts of cargo like the 100 Energy Cells or 50-100 Potatoes in the starter missions (but can carry a little more with the right subsystems).

Salvage Variant of the Mirounga Class Sloop Starter-Ship, designed for a Scavenger Captain.

Reclaimer Pattern on Steam for anyone who want to give her a fly.

Next ship of the Mirounga Class Sloops is now up, the Model 01 - Prospector Pattern.
(so far so good for uploading one a day)

The Prospector is an upgrade from the Helmsman Pattern with a few extra buffs (including armour & more hardpoints) and boasts a T2 Hull. Still tiny compared to most of the builds here on Reddit I know, but it is an upgrade from the Helmsman.
The concept for all the T2 hulls is one is designed for each Captain type, and the next one (hopefully tomorrow) is the Model 02 for the Scavenger Captain.

Prospector Pattern is here if you want to have a look in game.
Just like the Helmsman, the Prospector is nothing fancy, just a solid lil' starter mining ship.

Oh, and if anyone notices any errors (spelling in Steam, or block placement in-game) please let me know.

It's taken a couple of afternoons, but my second batch of ships is almost ready for the Steam Workshop. There's still a few final touches to do on most of the ships before I upload those - but the base design (Helmsman) is ready to rock, so I thought I'd share it here.
(I'm hoping to post/publish one a day from this set, but I'll see how I go for time)

Helmsman Pattern is here if anyone would like to give it a try.
Helmsman is a T1 Starter - nothing fancy, just a solid starter ship.

The Mirounga Class Sloops are flipped tip-to-tail from the original concept of RIXBRIX's Dragonfly, it seemed to work better for Avorion facing this way.
