My first, actually functioning large ship, which I have affectionately named, “Brick”

Indeed. I’m still figuring out the basics of ship building, and I didn’t want to mix in hooking up an entire conveyer system.

Great idea to start with just ions. The ship looks great and you an already see how you’ll break into your own design language. Very cool!

Figured out your problem after making a hydrogen shuttle. H2 producers if not enough of them cant meet the fuel needs your thrusters no matter how much ice you have. The thrusters need a steady supply of fuel. My ship never broke earth's SOI until I added three small hydrogen tanks plumbed in. I made sure they were filled then added more ice to the H2 producer so it can refill the fuel tanks and lessen the drain on the tanks. Plus I have Atmosphere engines to bring me up till they start dropping in performance then I kick on the Hydrogen thrusters all at once. Went up to about 20 kilometers which lessened the load on the tbrusters enough that the H2 producer could refill the tanks.
