Description

Vanilla | Survival | No Subgrids | No Scripts | No DLC

A simple hydrogen powered allround corvette.

The LX-100 is a fairly plain corvette built in the hexagonal style. Shielded by heavy armor and equipped with 10 turrets it poses a serious threat to ships of the same weight class around 1000 tons. The hydrogen thrusters allow it to fly on all planets and in space and thanks to the 5 hydro tanks it doesn't run out of fuel very fast depite its weight. It has a jump drive and a very basic interior, but those are about all of its features. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, so you can just throw it into battle without having to worry about any useless extras.

The ship has no subgrids, needs no scripts and the frostbite DLC is only used for the armor texture, i.e. not necessary.
It can fly on all planets and needs about 10% hydrogen to get to space from earth.

Hahah that's fair. I've been at it for months and haven't yet managed to design a ship that works well. Balancing out everything you need and fitting it all inside a ship is really tough at first. The designs people like you come up with and get working blow me away.

Well, conveyors were added quite a bit earlier, 2014 I think, I was just not a very good builder back then and too lazy to actually make my ships survival ready lol
I just changed the doors because they were the only dlc blocks, pretty unnecessary if there's a way to just do it without dlc.

Hey, just checked out the new update, very nice! It's a beautiful ship and I'm glad to see you've given it a refresher. Love the new door placement by the way! I didn't realise there were no conveyors back then. What did you have to use, cargo containers?

Major Jon [author] 28 Jul, 2022 @ 8:25am

Well it isn't really made for survival, it's just a generic warship to play around with. This "Survival Ready" thing is kind of a remnant of the past from when conveyors were still new and most ships were only made for creative. I think I started making my ships survival ready in 2017 or so. Nowadays pretty much every ship is conveyored and works in survival ofc. Didn't think I had actually forgotten the airvent lol, that doesn't happen usually. Maybe it deserves a little update.

You have this labelled as "Survival Ready", but it isn't quite. It doesn't come with batteries. A more minor oversight is that you included oxygen farms but forgot to place a vent in the cabin to make use of said oxygen. They're fixable issues and I've done so myself, though my implementation doesn't look pretty. I'm just really surprised nobody has mentioned them yet. Aside from that I've given it a bit of a repaint to fit my faction and switched all the weapons out for various WeaponCore alternatives. Haven't tried it out yet, but I expect it to be very good now!
