Introduction

The Cargo Freighter was born out of a desire to move LARGE amounts of cargo around in sandbox and late game career saves. With a max part count of only 20 parts the days of building CPU breaking 300 parts ships are gone. While the Cargo Freighter performs its main role amicably it can also be set up to provide a variety of different configurations, including Arkships, passenger liners, debris removal and recycling, mobile construction centers and many more Examples and craft files available below.

 

Features

• Asymmetrical Design.
• Rear Truss & Main Hull Have Automatic Weight Balancing Feature.
• 5m Kontainer Docking Ports Integrated Into Rear Truss.
• Deliver Kontainers at your destination and bring back empties.
• Range Of Interchangeable Modules In Two Sizes.
• Internal EVA Prep Space With Small Kontainer/Storage Rack.
• None Career Game Breaking (parts are at the end of the tech tree and extremely expensive)
• Fueled By The Insanely Expensive Karbundrum/Karbonite, You Will Need Mining Operations In Place.
• Custom Engine FX
• Has To Be Built In Situ (If you manage to reach orbit with this please let me know :D)
• Custom CSI Freighter category for all freighter parts.
• Hanger Bay & Cargo Bays Support @allista's hanger mod allowing you to store crafts and re-spawn later.

This is cool!  Wonder how long it would take to make this monstrosity with EPL...  Very well done sir.

A quick note: I noticed while watching the review that some of the utility modules didn't line up with their space correctly, leaving a bit of space at the top.  (Besides the ones Kobbatos mis-oriented and attached wrong.)

You're right, i hadn't noticed, they are off slightly. Will get that fixed in the next release. Cheers

[DStaal]

I wasn't even talking about those.    I meant the larger ones - most were fine, but there were a couple with obvious gaps.

Go for it

If you have the money to load this Beauty with enough Karb she will go up like a feather... but without... GC or EL are the only way to bring her up. She is GIANT!!!

And i don't know if there is a KIS Container that is big enough to build her parts with OSE. Maybe next projekt for dboi88, a orbital dock?

Ahh I see. The Med has been sorted already. I'll make sure that passenger cabin is too.

So the issue people are having with the small modules, I've noticed is just cause it's setting up upside down. I've had an issue with the reactor not wanting to generate power. And will a docking port be in the works for this vessel?

You are correct, I'll take a look at the reactor tonight for you, see what's going on there. Yes i'd completely forgot about docking to be honest. I'm going to add a node to the front of the command bridge for a docking port and will have a think about integrating one somewhere with a mesh/texture adjustment.

Just wanted to say, love the design on this. Will definitely help my future Kerbal Colonization.

Currently I'm using a Clamp-o-tron on the side, where it juts out a bit, for crew transfers, and a 3.75m docking port on the top for fueling purposes.

Amazing mod @dboi88! Definitely a must have now.

@linuxgurugamer, is this another one of those mods that you have to fiddle around with to get onto CKAN? I don't see it yet; my apologies if it's just not showing up for me. 

[Starslinger999]

Is there going to be Symmetrical hulls? Because my OCD is triggered by the Asymmetrical hull.
