Mod:Industries of Enceladus

Overview

Industries of Enceladus (sourced from Github) is a content mod focusing on greatly expanding the selection of ships and equipment available to the player. It adds 11 new ships, 46 new installable equipment options, overhauls to cargo bay systems and improvements, and adds four new docking bays to the OCP line of ships.

New Ships

KX37 TNTRL "RAM"

The "Ringa Aftermarket Modification" variant of the KX37, typically just called the "Ram", is a modification pattern that gained popularity in 2269 after its distribution by a RingChan user going by the handle 'BLKCandy'. The pattern sacrifices a moderate amount of mineral hold capacity to introduce power and feed rails for two drone hardpoints on the tail-end of the vessel's spines, replaces the fixed thruster mounts with gimballing variants, and reworks the RCS blisters for enhanced mobility. Its most notable feature is its Prospector-type grinder, obtained direct from the salvage market. Its installation makes only minor concessions to crew comforts, being remarkably noisy during operation and slightly reducing the recreation area's floor space. -In-Game Description

The KX37 TNTRL "RAM" is a unique modification to the K37 line. It combines several aspects from both the TNTRL and Prospector lines into one single variant. Packed with 5 total hardpoints, EMP shielding, a grinder, and a variable processed hold, this ship is a hardy contest and can be seen as a form of extension to the K44's design.

Antonoff-Titan K225-SH

The Short Haul variant, affectionately nicknamed the "Stubby" by series enthusiasts, began manufacture only three years following the wildly-successful launch of its base variant, and is designed to fill express transit roles throughout the solar system. The SH makes up for the loss of its midsection with its light, maneuverable frame and in-built nanodrone assembler mounts, the latter of which makes it an excellent alternative to the base model in mining operations. -In-Game Description

The SH variant to the K225 takes the base model's successful design, and makes a smaller modification of it. Still as useful as the parent model, it's design lends to shorter stays in the rings, but still with the K225's potential.

OCP-214-DD "Deep Dish"

The 214-DD is a version of the OCP-209 specially adapted for mining operations within the rings. The structure supporting its consumable bays has been hollowed and plated to extend the raw cargo volume, and additional power infrastructure permits the installation of standard cargo bay accessories. Despite the obvious benefits, the pocket makes handling ore awkward, and the reduced onboard mineral hold space means captains tend to be more reliant on auxiliary hardware than on most other vessels. -In-Game Description

The Deep Dish variant to the OCP makes for a more mining-oriented vessel. The addition of docking bays negates the smaller size of the internal processed cargo storage.

OCP-209-SNAP "Piranha"

The 207-SNAP is a version of the OCP-209 that implements an excavator design that was considered during the prototype phase of development. Its heavy dual doors are better suited for crushing ringroids than its counterpart - and, unfortunately, the fragile equipment that it is designed to handle. Due to its unique configuration, autopilot rotation assistance is not available on this unit. -In-Game Description

This is a unique prototype to the OCP design. The dual door openings provide a more centralized area for objects to enter, and can provide an easier time when handling lots of ore. Due to the resemblance to a certain 80's videogame character, this OCP comes with a special collection sound.

SSE Cothon-2200-XL

This unofficial "modernised" variant of the Cothon-213 Triplet features an additional 'crew compartment' (lifepod), an additional pair of translatory thrusters, and a handful of "premium" features such as a combination lounge and mess, upholstered breathable-fabric seating, and a functioning washroom. The two pods are mated together at their base docking ports and secured to the frame with standard emergency quick-release hardware. The XL stands for "Extra Love". Sin Space Engineering does not offer any warranty of any kind, express or implied. -In-Game Description

This Cothon variant takes from a few other "premium" models of ship, and takes on a dual torch mounting, two more RCS mounts and a second lifepod to provide extra crew space.

Pigeon Prospector

What happens when a Pelican and a Vulture love eachother very much? They make this thing - or so it goes. The Pigeon's high price point is entirely on account of the incredible skill that went into its implementation; additional girding struts support a high-stress hardpoint to the fore of the vessel, the entire power and equipment feed system having been reworked to accommodate it. The bay has also been shortened to handle the stress, which has permitted reinstallation of a standard grinder. -In-Game Description

A cross between the pelican and vulture, this beast of a ship can provide a lot in terms of raw capability, with a decently sized bay and 5 total hardpoints, it can definitely pack a punch is used correctly.

Wasp-class Scout (decommissioned)

Manufactured in the mid-2200s, the Nakamura Dynamics Wasp-class of automated tactical scouts utilise [REDACTED] as their power source and [REDACTED], delivering a constant [REDACTED] megawatts of electrical energy as long as the vehicle's [REDACTED] is [REDACTED]. A Faraday cage mesh insulates much of the vehicle, protecting it from static discharges in dense space environments and providing a convenient charge dissipation vector for the [REDACTED]. Now wasn't that fun? This version, coming to you exclusive from the Sin Space Engineering shipyards, is totally declassified, decommissioned, and probably deillegaled, with a range of nice benefits like a performance propellant-remass reaction wheel, a "Reactor Housing" where the redacted-whatever was torn out (it was like that when we got it), and a probably-functional cargo bay, all topped with the Conlido Classic™ converted lifepod for her pleasure. Warranty? Hell no. Fly the goddamn ship, ringa. And, if anyone asks where you got this thing, give us a call and send your logs for 25% off your next purchase. -In-Game Description

The Wasp is a modification to ATLAS's ships that you see around the rings, refitted to work with a mining mindset. A light vessel, no mass was put to expense on this ship.

UMC Oberon MLP-60

The Oberon MLP-60 is a curious vessel manufactured by the United Machine Cults. Originally an autonomous vehicle launched by electromagnetic rail cannons for orbital racing events, it was outmoded by later fusion-propelled units, but enthusiasts quickly bought up the remaining stock and it eventually found its way to the rings. Six belt radiators, three at either side, cool its high-performance reactor and partially shield its exposed fuel tanks, though are hardly needed due to the vessel's comical number of translatory thrusters. Multiple modifications have been undertaken to make the vessel appropriate for operation within the rings: its magnetic contacts have been cleverly retrofitted into two high-stress hardpoints, interface infrastructure has been built into the small cargo bay in the bow to support mineral processing units (barely, and with meager onboard space allotted to support them), and a HAL-9001 luxury lifepod serves as a comfortable cockpit and crew compartment. -In-Game Description

The Oberon is an interesting vessel to fly. Capable, but also surprisingly maneuverable. It boasts a relatively uncommon dual high-stress hardpoint loadout, at the cost of losing out on low-stress hardpoints. A single drone bay is fitted for any necessities in the drone department.

Credit goes to @Liqvo on the ΔV Discord for providing the model.

Tsukuyomi-Class Frigate (Decommissioned)

The Tsukuyomi class of light frigates were designed in 2190 for military operations throughout the solar system. They were the first of their type and laid the groundwork for modern tactical frigates, with their quintuplet reactors serving as immense sources of power for their powerful thrusters. Following phase-out of nuclear saltwater rockets in military service, many were scrapped or sold off to private military contractors and corporations. Courtesy of the Sin Space Engineering shipyards, this unit has been fully demilitarised and refurbished for operations within the rings. Its saltwater reactors have been replaced with three modular containment vessels for modern NTR system retrofitting, and its bow torpedo tubes have been departitioned to expand its hold and add four auxiliary equipment bays. -In-Game Description

This is one of the several frigates that were decommissioned from service many years ago. Similarly fitted to the Big Bad Wolf of Vilcy, it poses a more mining-oriented equipment set, and holds more than enough equipment and cargo space for anyone. The only thing stopping you is the exorbitant price tag.

MAD-CERF (Civilian Refit)

This civilian refit, made in collaboration with Obonto Microengineering, introduces a number of modifications for the diverse requirements of the ring environment. Its compact top-mounted habitat has been relocated to the bow and replaced with an expanded OCP-standard centrifuge, increasing its effective crew capacity to eight. Further, the docking bay has been enclosed with a mesh basket and the clamps removed to support mining operations, and its rear bulkhead bears an enormous sliding door for acceptance of large cargo. Much of the bow substructure has also been replaced by hold volumes, lending the vessel more processed mineral space than any other vessel on the civilian market. -In-Game Description

This retrofit of the MAD-CERF class of salvage ships has a more mining-reflected implementation in mind. The addition of a rear-facing high-stress hardpoint and the sealing of the cargo bay area, along with the habitat being replaced with the OCP's habitat, provides a much more comfortable setting to mine in than the usual selection of MAD-CERF ships.

SSE OK720 TNTRL

"Oh, dear God, what is that?", they said. "That won't fly," they said. "Stop calling us or we'll press charges," both Antonoff and Obonto said, in unison. It was in this chorus of naysaying and whining that we created the miracle that is the OK720 TNTRL. Two spare bay halves from Obonto surplus and the resectioned corpse of a K37 come together to create this masterpiece, originally a "joke" posted to the RingChan /dreamship/ board by user snownukitro. With a truly enormous cargo bay and support hardware for OCP-standard MPUs and accessories, four low-stress equipment hardpoints, and incredibly low mass for the volume of its bay, this monster is perfectly suited for ring mining - as long as it doesn't hit anything. Limited warranty applies. We won't replace it if you get stuck in a tight space, but we'll sell you replacement panels. -In-Game Description

The OTK720 provides a rather humorous approach to the issue of cargo bay storage. This retrofit combines the OCP's unique cargo bay and applies it to the K37, and results in an absolute beast of a cargo bay volume, at the cost of a reduction in processed storage and a considerably heavier ship.
