The Gnat (4 launches)

The Gnat is a 4 launch, 1-furnace Factorio space ship which uses only Nauvis non-quality tech.

Blueprint

Performance (non-loiter route)

TL;DR: continuous-duty Nauvis/Fulgora lap time: 65 minutes

In this route, we stock up on ammo only in Nauvis orbit and avoid loitering at Fulgora.

Youtube test footage of Nauvis/Fulgora laps: https://youtu.be/t5jedTy_9M0

While a hop to Fulgora and back can be completed in just over 22 minutes, the ammo restock period at Nauvis pushes the total lap time to about 65 minutes on average.

Performance (loiter route)

A route which loiters at Fulgora is not possible with only one furnace, as the resulting rate of ammo production is slightly less than the ammo consumption required to defend against asteroids, even with only a single turret. Very slowly, the ship will starve of ammo and be destroyed.
