KMI Apollo Class Auxiliary Ship

Length: 56 Blocks, 140 Meters.
Size: 4,256 Blocks. 31,126 PCU.
Dry Tonnage: 3,610 Tons.
Max Jump Distance: 5,541 Km.


This ship is vanilla and survival ready. While it contains DLC blocks for aesthetic improvements, these blocks aren't structurally necessary and the ship will function correctly without them. If you do encounter a major issue, please, let me know so I can resolve it.

Knightmare Industries presents the Apollo Class Auxiliary Ship. KMI has long had need for a proper auxiliary ship capable of carrying and producing large amounts of supplies. The Apollo began life as a small warship prototype. The hull was found to be unsatisfactory for that purpose, being inferior to contemporary designs. A few designers in KMI saw the potential for an auxiliary ship, and pursued that avenue. As an auxiliary ship, the Apollo has relaxed survivability standards, with a light armor hull and exposed components such as gas tanks and cargo containers. An important feature of the Apollo is its ability to land on and leave planets. Its engine has been tailored to that purpose, allowing it to lift large amounts of material into orbit. The class is named after Apollo, one of the Greek gods, who travels would often seek the favor of.

The propulsion is primarily Hydrogen, with some Ion thrusters for backup. The 8 Jump Drives give it a maximum jump range of roughly 5,541 km, though that will be considerably reduced while carrying cargo. While not a warship, the Apollo is expected to operate in hostile work environments, and is protected by 8 Gatling Turrets, 4 Missile Turrets, 6 Interior Turrets, and 4 forward facing Rocket launchers. Power is supplied by 2 Large Reactors, several Small Reactors and a Battery backup system. The ship's hull is entirely light armor. The Apollo carries 14 O2/H2 Generators, 2 fully upgraded Refineries and Assemblers. There are several docking ports available. The ship is capable of landing on planets, with landing gears on extendable pistons.

The ship is built fully vanilla and survival ready, with an interior in the style of "The Expanse." I use a light changing script to switch around the interior light settings. Its an older script and I couldn't find the original creator. The script was updated by ColTeH for my use. Whip's Compass and Bearing Code is in another program block for use in gravity wells. Whip's braking script is also equipped for "flip and burn" situations. There are also a few other program and timer blocks if you need them. You may have noticed already, but the ship uses DLC blocks. The mods I used to assist with the screenshots came recommended by Taidyr, who makes some fantastic content as well. The thruster plume is accomplished through spotlights, something I learned from Husker54 and their Donnager. Links below.

Please feel free to modify the ship to fit your in game needs. Just be sure to give credit to the original creator.

I also highly recommend the Type-34 Merchantman, an Expanse style cargo ship by 5URGE, which you may have already seen if you've clicked on the workshop this week


This is a bit of a first for me. Utility ships aren't really my thing, with a few minor exceptions, until now. I had originally planned to make a warship from this hull, but while it had good looks, it was outperformed in almost every way by other ships. So I was close to scrapping it, when I realized it could fit the utility ship purpose quite well, at least, it seemed like it to me. I've long wanted to build such a ship, but purposeful attempts I'd made yielded very unsatisfactory results. Turns out converting a prototype warship hull was the way to go. The engine... well, if you're squeamish about internal thrusters, best not to look at that. 204 hydrogen thrusters are are contained in this ship. Almost all internal. But that does mean it has excellent lifting capability. Exposing components is a bit new for me as well. I always like to protect things, which limits what I can do with design, but does generally make things more survivable. This ship really isn't expected to need to survive much, ideally. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it and that it serves you well.
