Wow, I didn't consider the staggered design for the engines. I think I'll use that in the future. I might make it semetric though.
If it works it works. And if you had fun building it, that's even better.
M8ne are somewhat symmetrically built, but that's just my preference.
Someone likes the EVE Online asymmetrical ship designs
I think you can horizontally flip the engines to let the fluid pass through, allowing you to place them next to each other.
Not sure though, my platform had only 1 engine. It didn't last very long though, yours is definitely better!
First thing I tried. Unfortunately you can't. I considered shaping them in a V pattern, but then you have to cross the pipes which is possible but annoying. I also cut out some foundations to reduce weight by this method. Even though it has 5 engines, it can only sustain thrust for one of them, hence the tanks, so maybe 1 engine is better for frequent trips if you can't stock up in time (although ammo stockpiles seems to be the bottleneck in my design).
👀 H and V to mirror inputs and outputs, including oil processing 👀
Edit fuck you can't mirror thrusters 😭
