The Rake
Inspired by a ship called "The Brick", for the aerodynamic profile. This one act as an interstellar rake, able to reach 300 km/s, while flying non stop from Nauvis to Aquilo, it does need to slow down to go past this, this is handled by an automatic speed control detecting such moment in case i send it over there by mistake, it can go past the solar system and is able to make its own repair packs from asteroids chunks, because that is helpful sometimes.Made entirely of "normal" quality it does consume its 400 MW and the accumulators are actually necessary and no jokes or fillings.
It can fly with an efficiency of 100% on the thrusters but in such case and really almost always it will be forced to dump some carbon if flying around Aquilo or past there, because then it consume so few for fuel that sulfur for rockets risk being a shortage. Given the amount of space junk that can be processed by the rake though, it is a minor concern.
This version has 55 thrusters, weights 1595 tons for 5.6 GN , with a handle in the middle, for better grip, or attaching any module in the back.
