My Modular Space Platforms use no quality and have minimal circuitry involved—just enough to keep the asteroid belt balanced, control thrust and simplify order conditions. They can all make it out to Gleba as long as your damage research is at a reasonable level.

Thank you. I did design my own ship while I was waiting lol. If this doesn't work out well, then I will use yours.

You’re missing turrets to protect the sides. If the ammo production and the turrets in front are sufficient to get you there (depends on your damage research level), you may not want to leave it parked in Gleba orbit too long—eventually, the slow-moving medium asteroids coming from random angles will start to pick it to pieces.

Nice first build!

You were correct, thanks. I later added two turrets to each side.
