DESCRIPTION
This ship and model is fairly new to the marketplace. With an increased need for custom manufacturing, the Celtic was created to provide a mobile manufacturing plant that can be used to create custom components while in transit to delivery. Most mining vessels are not equipped with crew safety and comfort built in. With the multi tasks required within this ship, a little more comfort and safety was built into it, but not much. To mine, the ships drone pilots will fly their drones over to extract the ore from its target, the tractor beams are then used to pull the ore into the respectful storage container or bay.Due to room needed for the manufacturing plant, smelting plant, and somewhat upgraded hanger, much of the internal storage was lost. To make up for this, the bottom of the ship is lined with 6 docking ports which normally connect to external storage units. Also due to the fact that these storage containers are filled with a good amount of ore and weight, reinforced docking clamps had to be used to support the docking tubes.
Due to a lack of any offensive or defensive equipment besides the shields, this ship is recommended with a need of a decent escort to protect from pirate attacks and raids.
The Hanger is spacious enough to fit a shuttle, two star-fighters and 8 drones all at once, however, if this were to happen it be very crowded in the hanger and production would take a hit for the amount of time it would take to deploy the drones and the likes. To deal with this issue, the ship was equipped with 2 Quad Docking tubes on both sides of the ship. Unlike the other docking tubes, the quad tubes can only be attached to Star-fighters or ships of smaller size like the mining drones. With the drones equipped on the Quad tubes, the hanger can be well maintained with little effort.
The ships main portion is taken up by the Internal storage, Smelting plant and Manufacturing plant leaving little left for the hanger and Engines and additionally much less for the crew. Behind the main bridge is a cabin shared by the captain and his/her officers and a 2nd cabin shared by the crew and workers.
In conclusion, the ship is basically a mobile Manufacturing plant and Mining platform.
