The Salvador (Steam)

Salvage and retrieval ship, The Salvador

First of all this ship was a headache to make.
The shaping was no problem, but leaves very little flexibility for the interior.
I went for a oldschool, rusty, a "bucket of bolts kept together by ducktape"-look.
The ship is supposed to look old and worn.
I wanted the inside to feel cramped and impractical, think of the ishimura from deadspace 1.

I wrote a little diary log from a crewmember who just had his first day serving this ship,
to give a bit of feeling to the ship, for those who are intrested.
You can also find it inside the ships crew compartments.

The ship is designed as retrieval and salvage ship.
Its job includes finding unclaimed wreckages and turning them into scrap, to be legally ( or illegally ) sold at an industrial Production station.
Sometimes the crew is given private contract by clients, who are very keen on having their lost ( sensative? ) cargo back.
Therefor this is ship mainly owned by private, small scale companies.
But because of its features, the ship is also very popular amongst pirate gangs.

It features a small hangar, fitting for small utility crafts or shuttles.
It is also fitted with an automated airlock systems as well as an production area with 4 boosted assemblers
and on one side a grinder array, that wil activate on proximity.

Additionally the outfitting contains 6 cryochambers for the crewmembers, a main area with the medbay,
engine room, crew compartments and another automated airlock and system wise a frontal colission detection
and a hull breach detection, which will close all doors on the ship to prevent oxygen from escaping.
The front of the ship is designed to dock the ship with large platforms.


Becaus of its function, its not rare for the crew to encounter pirates at the mission location, because of this, it is equipped with:
-4 Gatlin turrets
-2 rocket pods, ( normal ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is to detonate dangerous wreckages )
-5 defensive interiour turrets on the hull
-2 detachable turret mines in the back, either for distraction while making an escape or to damage small crafts

Oxygen ready, No mods.

Huge thanks to Tartaross inc. for making another video and keeping me going!
