Odin - Aesir Class Expedition Artillery Cruiser (Vanilla & LSG)

Stratios (EVE online) lookalike, with some changes.

Odin - Aesir Class Expedition Ship.
~13,500 blocks not including fighters & utility ship.

Designed for extended campaigning into hostile territory, the Aesir Class Expedition ships is a multi-crew long range artillery cruiser. It is also equipped with a refinery and assembler, making it capable of producing it's own ammunition and spare parts.

Equipped with 2 self rearming mass drive turrets, a torpedo bay with twin self rearming explosive torpedoes, the Aesir is capable of delivering a lot of pain from a far distance.
The Aesir also carries it's own wing of Berserker Mk.2 space superiority fighters whos main role is to screen away any enemy who might be getting too close for comfort. If the situation is deemed too risky for the pilots, each Berserker can also be remotely operated from the Aesir's CIC deck.
Should that fail, the cruiser holds 10 Gatling Turrets for close range defense.

The cruiser also comes with a full crew-friendly interior, which includes for instance a mess hall, fighter pilot briefing room, sleeping quarters, medical center, engineering bay and more.

---------------------------------------

Heavily influenced by the amazing looking Stratios from EVE online, and the versatility of the battlestars from BSG, with some artistic freedom and the need for adaption I've done my best to combine all of that into a survival ready ship for Space Engineers.
The ship is best used in a multi crew scenario, where you have 2-3 players operating the Aesir itself, and 1-4 players piloting the Berserker mk.2 space superiority fighters.
The ships "win condition" is to take advantage of long range mass weapons to deal damage to the enemy from outside of the targets weapon range. A skilled pilot can use the ships many jump drives to perform "micro jumps" combined with the fighter screen to keep the enemy at range, while the gunners focus on destruction.

I'dd recommend carrying a minimum 100 Cannon Rounds, and 10 Torpedoes. Preferably more.
The ship is not currently loaded with any fuel or components, apart from that it is survival ready.
A bonus is that the ship is designed to be within the normal server limits for the Last Stand Gamer community servers.
The Last Stand Gamers is an amazing community that focuses mainly on Space Engineers. It is a meeting point for engineers to share their creations and passion for the game, as well as the spawning pool for a lot of Arron's youtube content.
If you haven't checked it out yet, I do recommend that you head over there and give it a look :)
