Creation contest/ seeing if a concept is possible

Now I know what you are thinking. "What is the world is this!?!?!" Well I was think on how to build a good and efficient ship and something got me thinking. What if I could build a ship with only one thruster? So I tried, and tried, and tried. With no success.

Now I can already hear the responses to this saying it cant be done. Well my friends I say, lets try! So here is my challenge to you all.

Challenge: You must build a ship that uses only one thruster. But you can't use mods that will give you a thruster in each direction all in one block. Keep is mostly vanilla, but if you want to use mods to build and design the ship. Thats fine, just as long as you use mods to in the way I just described. There are going to be three categories, for your ship to fall under. Category 1: Large ships, Category 2: Small ships, and Category 3: Drones.

Now here are some basic rules:
1. You can use any type of VANILLA thruster.
2. your ship has to be flyable by anyone
3. and must have basic survival stuff on it (Drones do not have to follow this rule.)

So theres the challenge. Have fun!

 

totally possible but brings the problem of having to rotate in order to stop or to accelerate faster in certain direction. after that it leads to a need of flying around when stopping to bleed out all velocity so its totally possible to create but its not practical for survival

 

well thats the whole challenge make it survival ready.

 

no need for that just make a small thruster, reactor in front, on top put a gyro and on front area some sort of fighter cockpit, job done after that you can do what ever customization you want

 

Not even hard tbh

 

it is a 64 piston 100meter drill on the front of a mothership frame unfinished outter details.
I Build this and got to work after many attempts of explosions and convulsive piston behavior i found the piston speed and the constant reverse pull in retract mode was causing the crash to desktop. it is a 64 piston 100meter drill. works on reload with no shaking if drill/pistons are turned off when saved lol, my goal was to make a scenario where u start on a space station astoroid orbiting (Floating next to) earth then you would start needing supplies but would only have this mother ship to begin ur exploration land on the next astoroid kick ur feet up and watch it drill the thing in half

Link to the pictures i posted

 

Easy. Just take any ship and rip off all but one thruster.
Challenge completed. Thankfully, the challenge didn't mention anything
about stopping or steering.

 

You can stop with one thruster too

 

Hardcore challenge: No Thrusters at all.

 

Challenge accepted and completed

 

@halipatsui sorry I didn't see it fly..
