BP Updated - Removed science & scanning stations as they’re no longer allowed in BP’s.

I just saw this last comment. I did exactly what I said, I went into creative and simply copy/pasted the two cargo racks onto CV templates. I added a bunch of solar panels to each one to make fuel free and parked them back where they were. I had to trim them down just a bit to make it fit but that only cost me a single 640 container per side. The net effect looks almost exactly like your original work

Since the controller & extenders are in a column, you could remove a bunch & replace with composite blocks. Then always add them down the road if you need the space. Kinda like dedicated expandable storage
.

I suspected that was the case but I was not sure. I'll go into creative and try to convert it to a modular system, see if I can make it work. I love the deck space but it has a bit more storage than my personal needs require, modularity might well let me use more solar and get the fuel usage down

Container controllers & extenders. There are too many for Solar to properly power. They draw a lot of power in RE.

I love the ship but I can not get it energy neutral no matter how much stuff I turn off. Where is the power draw?

Oh wow, nice!

Oh, I missed that. There were too many in the rear thruster pods that shouldn't have been there. Extra's removed & BP updated. Thanks for letting me know.

Had to force spawn because it has 11 wireless connections....otherwise looks great
