Cargo Ship
Military Minelayer
[[File: |frameless|300px]] |
A Military Minelayer is a cargo ship hauling many warheads, and explosives.
Contents
Defenses
Anti-ship defenses
This is a military ship, so it's no surprise that it's heavily guarded.
- 1x Gatling turret on the ship's rear.
- 1x Gatling turret on the top.
- 1x Gatling turret on the bottom.
- 2x Missile turrets on the front.
Anti-personnel defenses
The ship's interior has no defenses.
Traps
This ship has fifteen warheads, all positioned to detonate in a chain reaction when reverse thrust is applied.
If the warheads are detonated, there won't be much left of the ship to salvage (shown right).
The ship's exterior will remain mostly intact, however all of the valuable modules will be destroyed; only the carcass of heavy armor blocks will remain.
Tactics
Approach
As of v1.23 (list), the Gatling turrets and Missile turrets aren't functional.
So at this time, approach tactics are unclear.
Attack
As of v1.23 (list), the Gatling turrets and Missile turrets aren't functional.
So at this time, attack tactics are unclear, save one bit of advice: don't shoot the explosives.
Entry
There are two sections to this ship, but only the front section has an interior that isn't filled with explosives.
A vertical cross-section of the ship, viewed from the left, is shown below:
At the bottom of the ship is a door that leads to a vertical shaft made with passage blocks.
This shaft leads to three different levels:
- Top: Access to two large cargo containers, a gravity generator, and the beacon behind that.
- Middle: Two small reactors and the cockpit.
- Bottom: Access to two large cargo containers.
Disable
The reverse thruster trap can be disabled by either:
- Turning both offending small thrusters off from the cockpit or any terminal connection. (thrusters 14 and 3)
- Removing/disabling the small thrusters with a grinder.
The forward-most offending thruster is clearly exposed in the small section connecting the front and back of the ship.
It can easily be disabled, or even removed without disconnecting the two sections.
Some heavy armor blocks, or warheads and a ramp need to be removed to gain access to the rear offending thruster.
When you can access the thrusters, use the grinder on them, at least until they are disabled, then you're ready to go.
Alternatively, if you're in a hurry, you can maneuver the ship to where you need it by only applying thrust in a forward direction.
This will mean that you need to point the ship away from your destination before you switch on the dampeners.
Salvage
Cargo Containers:
Each of the 4 large cargo containers can easily be raided.
Reactors:
There are 2 small reactors accessible from the interior containing a total of 2kg of Uranium Ingot
Ship Composition:
Thrusters / Gyros:
- 23 x Small_Thruster
- 2 x Large_Thruster
- 2 x Gyroscope
Reactor(s):
- 2 x Small_Reactor
Other:
- 1 x Beacon
- 2 x Antenna
- 1 x Gravity Generator
