I assume it's not crewed? Yeah that was the idea. Nice ship, reminds me of a dresden files quote "tiny, but fierce!" And isnt the next patch supposed to be out feb ? Yeah the next patch is may to come out in a day or two we guess. |

Hm! I had a fairly different approach to a minimalist crewed warships, so I'll post them. These are more about smallest size than cost; I opted for MPDTs.   |

If ur using MPD's why is the total Dv so small ?
i thought the whole point of MPD's was the propellent exit velocity was extremely high, making the isp very high, although the acceleration is very low

I think it's a mix of using Argon, which IIRC is dense but has a low exhaust velocity compared to things like Xenon and Neon, and having small propellant tanks to keep mass and external surface area down. That being said, Rocket Witch , can we get the code for any of the unique modules that you're using and the code for those ships? I kind of want to see how they went together, mostly because I tend to not use MPDT propelled ships, so I can learn how to into MPDT usage. |

Updating the antimatter fuel, and now my interstellar singleship costs 199 Gc, 99.3 Gc each tank.

My own micro crewed ship , and with similar cost of yours but without armor. Each carrying 10 k of drones or missiles~ Attachments:

 A replica of interplanetary age Antimatter Liner in orbit around TRAPPIST-1d. The entire craft uses four 100 kg antihydrogen 50 (50:50 hydrogen-antihydrogen) tanks, and yields 12.2 km/s. About 1 kt of the ship mass is used to contain the antimatter. |

For the cheapest possible warship you want to use high efficiency propellant (HD NTR or Resistojet, possibly with a Mercury MPD) or the cheapest propellants available (Neon, Nitrogen, Oxygen).  |
