-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was looking for the best SV in the Empyrion Workshop to use with my Sovereign CV and while spawning loads of the best looking blueprints I realized the Proxima Skiptracer was exactly what I was looking for but alas, it was not updated for 1.x.
So I rolled up my sleeves and updated it, and what an amazing process that was. It turns out that Pyston built the Proxima Skiptracer with the new Cargo system in mind. All the necessary space was already available. I didn't even have to replace any lagshot shield blocks (pyramids) to make room for extension blocks.
So now on top of being a very well armed SV with great speed and maneuverability that looks amazing, the Proxima Skiptracer also has 8.653 total kSUs of Cargo storage and 3 kSUs of Ammo storage which you can max out with 768 tons and still fly using the back thrusters and speed to get off the ground with 5 m/s in all directions and 14 m/s of back thrust (now with more than twice as much Down Thrust).
With 264 tons of cargo you can lift up via normal down thrusters with 14 m/s in all directions and 41 m/s of back thrust.
I also switched from two pilot seats to one centered pilot seat with gun/thruster activated LCD screens on both sides, made a slight improvement on the hallway and bathroom sliding doors logic, and added a lever for the quarters window shutters. And I added a sensor for the lobby light so now you only have to flip the legacy lobby light/Flight Lights lever ON if you want the lobby lights on while you are seated and flying as the sensor activates them otherwise.
The Proxima Skiptracer has six Gatling Guns which are a blast to fire at Zirax Ground Troops, Drones, and other small targets. It is a tough ship with enough blocks to be able to take a beating from the Plasma Planet Abyssal Zirax overlapping fields of fire Chasm and other super POI turrets. I have had my shields go down and came out with hull breaches, but never had the ship destroyed or even seriously damaged.
To access elevated POI Loot and Entrances such as the Progenitor Obelisk Technology Fragment Loot Containers, roll the Proxima Skiptracer upside down and touch the front or back to the area you are trying to access. Then walk out the door and access the Item or Entrance. Use the "O" key to quickly stand your Avatar upright after you get out of the pilot seat with the SV upside down.
