MPV Reliant

The MPV Reliant is a versatile space cruiser for multiple tasks such as deploying satellites, carrying out repairs and maintenance in space, transporting cargo or conducting limited expeditions. For this the Reliant can load in its cargo bay the Grabber Vehicle or a container. The astronauts arrange everything for a mission in the Terrain Docking Base.

The whole creation consists of:

The MPV Reliant space cruiser
A docking base for a container and a grabber vehicle
The grabber vehicle (docks to the space cruiser and to the base)
The container with expedition tools (docks to the space cruiser and to the base)

It was very important to me to have a good looking space cruiser set for display and at the same time pack it with lots of features to make this ship playable. But the building is not over yet. Create your own modules and dock them to the MPV Reliant for your own missions!

I hope you like this versatile space cruiser and support and comment it.

Thanks a lot!
