Guide to Ryokka Heavy Refitter Ship Build
I designed this ship in the editor and have it about 95% completed in my current game starting from the coffin. The ship is made for lengthy jobs to refit and restore derelicts back to spaceworthy condition.
There’s enough cargo space for all the necessary parts and equipment, and a living quarters for up to 6 crew working over 3 shifts. The reactor room has 2 banks of 4 batteries that can be toggled for charging. I’ve also built into it a gas recycling chamber for reclaiming salvaged gas into the RCS system.
The gas recycling system was implemented because this was my biggest expense. This setup allows me to easily reclaim gas from salvaged cannisters. There are 2 intake pumps, 7 compressors connected to RCS intakes, and an exhaust pump for emergency ventilation into space.
The maintenance hatch is on the exterior of the ship as this will also act as a sacrificial part in case of over pressurization (if that is or ever will be implemented). I added a heater to increase the pressure in the chamber as I’m guessing it makes it easier for the compressors to capture the gas. There’s also a rack across the corridor for convenient storage of gas cannisters.
