C300 Elephant Freighter (no mods)

Survival ready, planet ready.

As promised, here is my Elephant freighter.

The Elephant can transport up to 16 Universal Cargo Units (UCU). The first version had even 24 UCUs attached but a ship with 16 subgrids is "performance-unfriendly" enough, so I redesigned it a bit. It is quite a complicated build. I designed it for immersion purpose in first place.

The Elephant comes with the 16 UCUs and a C42-A Grasshopper Cargolifter. You will need it to attach and detach the cargo units.


Here are some things to keep in mind when using the Elephant:

- It is a ship with 17 subgrids (16 UCUs and 1 grasshopper), so it can cause lag spikes, depending on your machine/bandwith
- don't use button "P" to switch locks of connectors or landing gears, because all the UCU's will be disconnected at once. Use the terminal or the pilot seat's menu.
- you won't be able to attach cargo units on planet surfaces because of the angle. I'm currently working on some kind of machine that can add UCUs to the Elephant on planets.

Further loadout:
- hydro thrusters
- additional downward hydro thrusters for planetary landing
- ion thrusters
- large reactor
- batteries
- medical station
- 6 oxygen generators
- 2 hydrogen tanks
- connector (bottom)
- connector on piston (front)
- connector on top (for transporting the grasshopper)
