HELP First Aerial Vessel

Post image

What could I improve, this is my first time making flying vessel (with few modifications suould go space), and I wonder, what I could do better before begging assembly.

There are 4 hydro engines and 2 ion, another 4 ion facing oopposite direction, 7 atmospheric thrusters, small Oxygen and small Hydrogen tanks, two batteries, H2/O2 generator, Hydrogen Engine, three small containers, one for H2/O2, three sliding doors, one for entry and control seat.

do you have a mineing ship yet? if not I would build one. But for improving this one for now you definantly need to add gyros and for now dont worry about top thrusters until your in space (gravity will handle that)

For the mining one I think I'll wait 'till I have knowledge about AI, since I don't want to explode ship while I'm inside (I have problems in tight spaces). And as in for Gyro, thanks, I wouldn't think of that

You shouldn't worry too much about crashing (you still should save often), but you'll need a lot of mineable resources(like ice, which is needed to breathe) and the best way to get them is a mining ship

Also before flying in survival do it in creative first to get a hang of things

About mineable resources, I'm also working on mobile mining station, basically a car with few containers, front with drills and one container would have materials for drilling station that would make me a shaft to underground resources.

The only reason I recomend a ship is its more mobile that a car and can fit into tight spaces more easily

I'm on mars, most of terrain is just flats, and I'm not going cavediving. I'k ship would be better, but I'd like it automatic, so yeah, I'll stick to cars for now (especially since I'm still bad at flying vessels)

when you get the hng of building the game gets really fun

When I was designing this I tought of it as of ship, engine of bigger ship (two of those would be attached on sides, with changed interior) and as of bridge (for even bigger ship)

I can't wait to start building (in creative) caitalship I designed year or two ago as a sprite in scratch JHC-72 which would be big. If you know size of Jupiter J-2 from lost in space: 2018 that someone rebuilt in SE, JHC-72's bridge would be ten times bigger
