Description
Challenger One:
=============


== Starter-Survival-Mobile-Base-CV (Level 10, Class 1, No Z&E) ==

As the Name suggests ;-) this is a Challenge Vessel.

---
Challenge:
https://empyriononline.com/threads/challenge-dual-small-generator-cv.33684/

The rules:
1. No components requiring Zascosium or Erestrum, (these are beginner ships after all)
2. The CV must look like a ship, not a collection of flying parts.
3. The vessel must weigh below 1 kiloton.
4. The vessel must provide an oxygenated area for the pilot.
5. The vessel must keep hazardous components away from the pilot. (No roasting/irradiating the player).
6. The vessel needs landing gear, no slamming the hull into the ground.
7. You are only allowed two small generators to power it, and the generators cannot *redline* during flight on Omicron.

Bonus points:
Make the ship a mobile base.
Keep the LVL requirement at LVL 10 or below.

Features:
  • Standard Steel to keep Ressources and Weight down (.. see upgrades below!)
  • Acceptable Manoeverability: 9m/s² lateral, brake and down Acceleration, 18m/s² main and up Acceleration, 4.38deg/s² Pitch and 3.82deg/s² Yaw (.. see upgrades below!)
    All Thrusters are exposed!
  • Advanced Constructor (incl. PowerOn/Off-Switch)
  • 11x Large Cargo boxes
  • Food Processor (incl. PowerOn/Off-Switch)
  • 3x Large Fridges
  • 9x pre-plant Growing Plots
  • Warp drive, tank and Gravity Generator (incl. PowerOn/Off-Switch)
  • Full Medic Station, all 4 Scanners and living Stuff (Bed, Toilett, Shower, Armor Locker)
  • O2 Station, Ventilator; Ship is full oxygenated
  • 4x Cannon Turrets (.. see upgrades below!)
  • 2x Passenger Seats
  • One Docking point for a Micro SV below and one Landing area for a Small SV ontop
  • Anything can be directly accessed!

Possible Upgrades and Changes:
  • Upgrade Hull to Hardened Steel
  • (On the Roof remove both rear turrets for a bigger landing area up to a medium SV)
  • Apply the following PowerUpgrades :
    • ADD Small (or Large T1) Generator between Warp drive and Ammo box
    • REPLACE the lattice textured Blocks with S-Thrusters; ASSIGN them to
      either ThrustersRCS_Space
      or ThrustersRCS (= on Planet)

These Upgrades and Updates are incorporated in the Challenger Two or the highly recommended two blocks longer version Challenger LX. Of course both are not fulfilling the challenge criterias anymore.

"custom shape maker"... a dream would come true!
true, Pyston, that would be amazing... not sure if Eleon will go that route somewhen...

@Rucky @Haro Its because our angled shapes are predefined angles. There is only so much w can do to create sloping fronts or wings or any angled part. It all starts to have a similar look.

I wish there was a "custom shape maker" tool that would convert the shape into a voxel mesh. I realy miss Landmark in this regard. You could pretty much make an shape imaginable, although it could take a very very long time to get the desired result. But stil, you could make perfect spheres at any shape about half the size of the character and up to the maximum size of the build area. Then cut these shapes, use the cuts to make negative cuts. It was an amazing building system.

They used Voxelfarms engine. Look up voxel farm to see what can really be done with voxels. What we have in empyrion is a fetus stage in the voxel world (not saying its bad thing, just a limiting thing).

yeah I know what you mean ;-)
even my mid-game ship has similar shape ;-)

Every time I try to design a starter CV I end up in a design like this ;). Thumbs up

This ship deserves more traction. I like it.
