Description
The Rustic Islander is a style of small ship with a very low technology appearance. It has all the same functionality of most other subcraft. Inside you see wood, bamboo, pots, mats and even dirt floors. This is high technology with the appearance of primitivism. The crew live a life style focused on arts, crafts and simplicity. Rustics pride themselves on being able to hand craft things. They sometimes use nanotechnology to take the drudgery out of the process and make materials to craft with. The inside walls have screens on them that display fake landscapes to further enhance the illusion of a low technology world.

These ships often are designed to land on water if its available. The can land on great ships, park in flare shelters and even land on planets of needed. They can tether to any ship the same mass. Rustics live in a fantasy but not one that impairs their interaction with others. A culture of survivalism and historical reenactment in a world of fusion and nanotechnology.

The control systems appear to be primitive, or magical or both. They are easy to learn but hard to master. High tech populations see them as very strange. Users point out that its the difference between a cars steering wheels and a motor bikes handlebars. In some cases they have to then explain what cars and motorbikes are to some confused youths.
