Cepheus S-500 Themis

Vanilla | Survival | Subgrids | No Scripts | DLC

[b]The S-500 Themis is a pretty simple low tech exploration ship powered by hydrogen thrusters.[/b][/code]
                                                                                 

Equipped with a jump drive, plenty of thrust, enough tanks to last you a while and a couple of guns to defend yourself against space pirates the themis makes for a quite decent exploration ship. Since it doesn't require platinum or uranium, it can even be built early on on planets. It has enough thrust to fly everywhere and an ascent only takes about 5-10%  hydrogen. It has a fully pressurized interior with everything you'll need. Thanks to the built in rotor gun, picking off pirates from a safe distance is really easy. I also didn't know what else to do with the space.

The rotor gun is the only part with subgrids and not necessary for the ship to function. It's pretty easy to build in survival anyways though, just stack some rotors on top (5 total), group all under 'Rotor Lance - Accelerators' and the top also under 'Rotor Lance - Generator'. The ship uses no scripts at all.
