KCV Soleil LXS

Description
"Form or Function?"
"Both."


At KRS Modworks, we understand there's no shortage of Capital Vessels on the market. For the savvy starfarer, a great starting CV is a must. Your vessel is more than a mere ship, it's a home-on-the-go, a mobile base, a command center from which to begin your conquest of the stars - and so much more. And so is the Soleil.

For the LXS, our engineers went over every centimeter of the Soleil to optimize performance and enhance survivability. The basic steel hull has been completely replaced with sathium-hardened alloys, with the central hangar getting an additional upgrade to full military-spec armor plating. Additional RCS units and Thrusters were installed, generator upgraded, fuel and O² capacity increased, and personal quarters have been expanded - all LXS customers will find a fully-furnished cabin ready and waiting for their use.

Travel the stars in style - get your Soleil today!

This ship was created in response to a challenge by the illustrious Fractalite -link-[empyriononline.com]
(The same challenge that birthed his own Apache)
Since I couldn't leave well-enough alone, I completely overhauled the Soleil SE to be faster, tougher, and more maneuverable, while still maintaining the sleek design. Considering one aspect of the challenge was 'obvious directions of expansion,' you may consider the LXS to be my personal take on a 'fully upgraded' version.

And as always, if you enjoy it, please consider a thumbs-up! 👍

Sounds good, will be on the lookout for link(s). :thumbs:

More likely, it'll be a new upload - I rearranged a number of things to take advantage of the smaller warp drive, squeezed in some grow plots, that sort of thing.

Any plans to update for 7.0 Kieve? The material recalc in-game bumps her to require 13 Erest and Zascos now, which aren't obtainable in starter systems (or even in nearby systems with a jumping SV).

I actually am glad to see ships that DON'T have grow plots. It is too easy, especially in Multi-player, to have a farm somewhere, or kill fauna for meat, to keep the fridge stuffed.

Oh, the happiness that comes from understanding someone's exterior references...
The learjet's a cool thing.

Hmmmmm, Learjet Strike Fighter . . . .

It's armored glass. You'll be fine if you do the smart thing and run.

This isn't a combat vessel, it's not meant to take on player ships or PVs. The turrets are for defensive use against drones and wildlife, not taking down other ships. Sticking around for a firefight is like asking a Learjet to fly strike missions.
