I still think 2 assistants is a bit much for a ship this size… 8 players isn’t rrrrrreally a small ship. 7’s pushing it.

might be good to throw in a recycler somewhere an airlock of This size is going to eat up that tank with just a few cycles

• The mobile docking port should be direction 1 here, not 4.
  

• Not a fan of the crate shelf infront of the door. Could cause flow issues, I'd just make it a rack. Still has space on the other shelf.
  

• Do not believe a ship this size needs two SMES. I'd cut one of them in the wings.

• Going to have to move the generators away from above the terminals, causes check failures otherwise. I'd suggest swapping places with the fire closet. The SMES here also does not have a wire connecting it to the power grid.
  

• security airlock should be access restricted.

• Don't think this ship needs four guns. I'd cut either the etar or the vector.
  

• The table here feels awkward. I'd remove it.

Forgot to mention, bathroom also needs a lock.

firelocks, welding tank, water tank, and also fixes the docking thingy because it was never wrong in the first place and changing it to dir 1 makes the ship turn into a tuning fork facing up when you fly it which is not supposed to happen.

Live inputs:

The room on the left looks very basic/underdecalled, while the red warning marks dont contrast well with the airlock.

Would put a window here with a windoor, so the security officer isn't left completely isolated in their room. Shutters over the airlock and window may work to keep the room private aswell.

Suggest doing something like this to the dorm to make it less cramped/not all carpet.

Bathroom also, just the washing machine tile.

None of the turrets have ID's also.

Hey, can't seem to find any mention of an AI core circuit board, And players haven't found any either. This leads me to believe it's missing.

Not seeing a cyborg recharger, one would probably be good. (IPCs can use them, too)
Maybe a couple extra external cameras might be nice? (maybe an external helm one? or one on the sides?)
Also no anesthetics...

[Ratvarr]

cyborg recharger added
you get two external cameras because they work, there literally cannot be any other spots for external cameras without having weird jagged edges on the hull
you have anesthetics. use the dimorlin.

Food paths on the ship need to be updated since newfood got merged

[Gristlebee]

• I have concerns about the layout of the cargo bay. The way the racks are set up, pulling off crates will block major thoroughfares, and it's generally just very cramped quarters. A suggestion is to play around with pushing the cargo section back a few tiles left, and have the newly opened space used for storage. Though if you have other ideas in mind, that's fine as well.
  
• I would replace this bed with a bunk rather than a double if the captain and the FO are sharing a quarters.
  
• The gator's faction should be neutral and nanotrasen. I'd also recommend reducing it's melee damage down as well since it's a retaliate mob, so it doesn't instantly murder someone for accidentally hitting it.
  
• Please make an unequipped outfit for the security officer. They shouldn't come armored out of cryo.
• The ship should start with a posibrain for the AI core.

for the record, once the RUPFC is merged, the posi-brain will be removed, until then, it exists.
