About this build
A nuclear-powered cargo ship for runs between Nauvis, Vulcanus, Fulgora and Gleba. 66 laser turrets defend it, so it never waits for ammo, 2 reactors power them, and 28 cargo bays carry the freight. The author gives its top speed as 210 m/s with no downtime between trips.
Maxiume calls it a fun build rather than an optimised one; his step-by-step video shows how to build and run it.

Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 38 × 96 tiles.
- You need the Space Age expansion (Asteroid collector, Cargo bay, Space platform hub).
- It has 13 crafting machines, so connect enough power before you switch it on.
- It is large: construction robots will place it much faster than building by hand.
- It has turrets: keep them supplied with ammunition or power.
- It uses circuit logic. Do not remove wires or combinators when you adapt it.
