Description
KMI Octavia Class Light Cruiser

Length: 66 Blocks, 165 Meters.
Size: 8,369 Blocks. 80,835 PCU.
Dry Tonnage: 21,336 Tons.

This ship is vanilla and survival ready. It does use DLC blocks for aesthetic improvements, but those blocks are entirely or almost entirely not structurally necessary. If you do encounter a major issue, please, let me know so I can resolve it.

Knightmare Industries presents the Octavia Class Light Cruiser, one of its latest generation of warships. The ship is a small cruiser built for high intensity engagements. With a solid heavy armor hull and equipped with substantial weaponry, the Octavia is ready to take the fight to the enemy. It is built specifically for combat, without space for auxiliary craft or advanced production facilities. The name comes from the Roman Empire, where Octavius was the middle name of Rome's first emperor. There is no second meaning to the name, at all.

The Octavia's engines are of the same style used originally on the Kirin, but slimmed down. These engines have hydrogen thrusters combined with ion thrusters for an effective hybrid system. Main thrust is provided by 4 Large Hydrogen Thrusters and 16 Large Ion Thrusters. Power is provided by 4 Large Reactors, 8 Small Reactors, and a substantial Battery backup system. The ship is equipped with 8 Jump Drives for long distance travel. The Octavia's armaments include 32 Gatling Turrets, 20 Missile Turrets, 22 Interior Turrets, and 20 forward facing Rocket Launchers. The hull is primarily heavy armor, with reinforced armor at the front of the ship and around critical areas. Although not designed for auxiliary use, the ship is equipped with 4 Assemblers, 4 Basic Refineries, a Medical Room, Survival Kit, and 6 Connectors for docking.

The ship is built fully vanilla and survival ready, with an interior in the style of "The Expanse." I also used a light changing script to switch around the interior light settings. Its an older script and I couldn't find the original creator. The script was updated by ColTeH for my use. There are also a few other program and timer blocks if you need them. You may have noticed, but the ship uses DLC blocks.

Please feel free to modify the ship to fit your in game needs. Just be sure to give credit to the original creator.

Author's Notes
Huzzah, the Octavia's have been doubled. Or something like that. This is a first though, also technically a second, because this is the first time I've remade a ship. Although saying I remade it is an understatement, as this ship is totally new by blocks, and fairly different from the original Octavia, which was also smaller. Anyways, I wanted to remake that ship because I wanted to reuse the name. Typically when I look into remaking a ship, I either decide to make something new, or the remake ends up as something new. So this is technically the first successful remake I've done, and its entirely not a remake, its a completely new ship, just based on an older one. The Octavia is been based on the MCRN Donnager, and is a bit of a look alike, but not quite, especially at the front. Still, you'll likely see some strong resemblance. This was number 7 in the release order, but I think 5 or 6 in the inception order. Anyways, and as always, I hope you enjoy this ship!

If you have any questions or comments about the ship, please leave them in the comments below. Thank you for browsing this item. Safe Voyages! Papple.

Yeah. Gonna take a long time to get those books to TV.

Neither do I. I do recall that about their uniforms and armor though. Maybe we'll see someday, but until then, we kinda need to be vague for those who don't know about it yet.

lol >:D Well their uniforms and power armor were blue. I don't remember the ships themselves having any colors though ;)

@Lt.Starbound Those were dangerous words. I enjoyed the comment thoroughly, but unfortunately it had potential spoilers and I'd rather they not spread. And were they blue? I think I recall that being one of their colors, but I didn't choose it with them in mind. Its just a nice color. They do come to mind sometimes when I'm building though.

Great work as always! I loved the original Octavia model, glad to see her redone in white and blue, fits it well!
