No Man's Sky - Ship Build: Midas Fuel Refiner

Описание: Starship Designation: Midas Fuel Refiner
Nickname: The Ox

Among Avatar Omega’s fleet of cutting-edge fighters and experimental craft, the Midas Fuel Refiner stands as the stalwart veteran—unassuming to outsiders, but invaluable to those who understand the brutal logistics of deep-space operations. The Midas refiner line has served as an indispensable support platform for numerous armadas for over 50 galactic cycles.

The ship’s profile is unmistakably industrial. Reinforced reactor assemblies press against domed stabilizer housings, their surfaces scarred by plasma wash and micro-impact debris. Copper-bronze piping traces the exterior like hardened veins—each run engineered for maximum resilience and field servicing.

Inside its rugged frame lies the genius of its purpose. A compact yet powerful refinery core allows Omega to convert raw asteroid ore, volatile gases, and planetary deposits into usable fuel and refined trade materials without docking or delay. While others must limp back to stations or rely on convoys, Omega keeps traveling—self-sustaining even in the darkest corridors of the galaxy.

“Old number 14” is the last operational model from an early refiner series long abandoned by its manufacturer. Omega rebuilt and modernized every system until the vessel surpassed anything the original designers ever imagined.

Though bulky, The Ox maneuvers with the slow, stubborn grace of a machine that simply does not quit. Its triple-damped exhaust carves bright amber trails through the void—a visual promise that its mission remains constant:

Power every journey.
Fuel every passage.
Keep the fleet alive.

It isn’t the ship that wins battles—but it’s the one that makes winning possible. A loyal companion through radiation storms, besieged trade routes, and the silent regions where no support ever comes.

Not glamorous. Not fast.
Yet undeniably essential.

The Midas Fuel Refiner—a starship that has earned its place in the hall of legends, one successful run at a time.
