Custom Ships/Deck Plans

The system defense brick inspired the Caltrop. This one is in the same price bracket (right on it, in fact (Brick: MCr15.236. MCr13.7124, Caltrop: MCr15.622. MCr14.06) and five times the size.

It is using what the spreadsheet decided. There isn't an option to turn off the basic power, so I suppose it is on. I tried to turn off the artificial gravity and halve the basic power cost, but the sheet got all huffy. Not sure why. Seems like a planetoid should be able to have no artificial gravity.

I've updated it to have a computer/5 and included the robotic interfaces I forgot.

Yes, but the issue turns out to be (possibly overly) complicated.
 
The Whistle class tug is designed to tow partially completed ships around a shipyard or disabled ships and salvage to a ship yard or scrap yard. Secondary missions include search and rescue and emergency repairs. Its Military Sensor Array, coupled with Flight Operations software allow it to coordinate with up to sixteen other Whistles to tow large objects easily and accurately.
It has staterooms and an extended range to accommodate search and rescue/salvage missions. The barracks are behind their own bulkhead, allowing the compartment to be sealed and deactivated, thus the life support costs are only relevant when used to transport survivors from rescue operations. The 20 ton gig can be used for rescues on worlds with an atmosphere.
It has a Backup M-Drive, which can only safely be used in conjunction with the main drive at full power when towing ships in excess of 2000 tons. Limiters restrict the ship to 5G's or less.
