Have you ever wondered how small you can build a carrier? Well, this one is the smallest I could manage to build. It can carry every fighter of the cepheus collection except the phalanx, of course only one after another though. But really it's meant to function as a cheap hydro powered dropship for carrying rovers and stuff. It can fly everywhere, but doesn't have a jump drive, so it's mostly limited to a single planet. Thanks to the built in clang drive however it can escape any planet without wasting even a single drop of hydrogen.

The ship works perfectly fine without scripts, but will have a lot less power due to the clang drive missing.
If you build this in survival, go to the back and add an interior pillar onto the piston to make the clang drive work.
