Space Chassis Module
A major concern in the "low-budget" blockland space industry is the ability to quickly and effectively build
and deploy working satellites, quick repair, towing and refuel. The SCM (Space Chassis Module) is a proposed
solution to these problems, providing all the needed equipment on an automated, lightweight and generally
cheap Chassis.
Here is a picture of the basic chassis:
This is the bare-bones, 601 brick module. This is what we will be adding onto. In this picture alone, you can
see the life support generator, long distance comm antennas, the robust framework, electric solar panels and
variable clamps.
Lets take a look at the module from a few different angles:
Pictured below is a close up view of the life support generator. You can see the piping that supplies fuel,
oxygen and coolant into the bottom of the hull, which then leads on to the feeder, which can connect into any
ship with a SCM compatibility module.
Now, the example I would like to show you today is what I like to call "M1A", otherwise known as the "Mark One
Ark". It is the first passenger module ever to be built for the SCM, and it is quite luxury. From the inside.
Lets take a look:
As you can see, the living model fits neatly into the framework. The large clamps are not needed. The
passenger module is also fitted with it's own protective infrastructure, held in place by the SCM framework.
Pictured below is a nice snapshot of the bolt that keeps the module in place. It's generally not needed as the
framework does the majority of the work, but it is always nice to have a guide to show it exactly where to go and where not to. Oh, and if any passenger poses a threat that could damage the SCM, we can easily fire the entire module into deep space.
This front view shows a nice glimpse of it's contents:
Now, lets go into the module. I'm sure you'll like it.
The interior was designed to have a bright, uplifting and simple design. Easy on the eyes. I didn't want to
make it extremely ornate, because it would make it too busy IMO, and it costs a stuffload of money and parts that I don't have.
Pictured above is the main deck, with a gorgeous 360 view of space, multiple comfy seats, and two holographic television sets that can display movies, star-maps and the internets of all popular planets and star systems.
Well folks, that's the end of the presentation! Hope you enjoyed it. Here is the download link:

The SCM can support any small spaceship with the rig.
The SCM uses exactly 1000 bricks.
The SCM was built in zero gravity. It was loving annoying.
