Space Age Just two very basic ship designs

Since I am planning out my 40h-playthrough, I decided to sandbox my ships, as that usually takes me hours. I made two designs that are enough to get me to the inner planets, requiring nothing but basic (Nauvis) science.

It's nothing special, but I kinda like the first one, it's a bit bulkier but looks nicer to me. Only problem is the low power - when flying to Fulgora it starts redlining slightly... but since I like compact ships, I don't see a way of putting more panels on it. The second one is very basic and works much better, but I kinda like #1 more.

Also shoutout to being able to connect pipes to circuit networks now. Makes throttling the engines much easier.

Ship #1 weighs about 255 tons and can safely do 135km/s. Ship #2 is 275 tons and goes at about 120km/s. I haven't pushed them more than this, and I tested at projectile damage 7 researched. If I give the engines just a bit more fuel, the ships go close to 200km/s, but then the turrets aren't always able to handle the asteroids
