RE Hercules-Thunder

RE Hercules-Thunder is a late game XENO CV Destroyer with superior battle capability to hunt and salvage + mining capability within Reforged Eden device limit.
The best usage of this ship would be 1) hunt enemy ships to salvage 2) hunt tovera-class dreadnought for Quantum extender and heavy turrets, 3) resource gathering by astroid mining.

This CV is specifically designed to hunt Tovera-Class Dreadnought for its Quantum CPU Extender with default setting of 5.4 mil CPU power (optimized for space combat) - Why 5.4 mil? you can build 10 Auxillery CPU by hunting Drone Faction where as Quantum is extremely hard to get. 10 Aux CPU will give you 5.4 mil CPU coverage.
Please follow the Tovera Hunt Tips for the successful battle - it is not easy to win :)

To get Aux CPU, you can use my SEEKER (2.1 mil default CPU) @https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2353934400

This ship has one docking bay for Hercules-Storage A module, which has 5 advanced constructors and 4x 320k containers.

This CV is Reforged Eden Only ver 1.4 or above. (Cannot spawn in Normal Game)


##### Hercules Series #####

# This ship is part of Hercules Series which is a carrier with mission specific modules.
-Hercules Series is specially designed for hard core users in Reforged Eden server environment with M/V, CPU, device limit options turned on & the users who want to survive the most harsh environment, but also can be used for casual users (much easier late game play). Serious combat units will have low Size Class to minimize the lag.

█████ TOVERA Quantum HUNT TIPS █████ 13~25 minutes battle depending on your skill.
* The linked video shows hunt tactics
* Spiral Evasive Maneuver: Use "a","e","spacebar" key for spiral move around the target. "w","s" key for keeping distance
1) Lower shield by spiral evasive maneuver and keep the distance 800 m~1 km. It is important to dodge incoming yellow Flak bullets.
2) After disabling shield, charge to the backside of Tovera (300~500m) to destroy Flak turrets at the tail. The key point is to destroy only one side of tail turret parts. Keep the distance between 500~700m - very close combat and keep the spiral evasive maneuver.
3) After disabling most of turrets on one side of the Tovera, get back to the front side in order to destroy one side wing. Once you notice that your shield is re-generating & above 30 % or more, retreat to change turret setting (3km)
4) set all the turrets to target generator in addition to turrets and mounted weapons. Then approach Tovera and do spiral move from one side of wing to keep attacking near the CPU room. It is important not to fire Artillery Cannons to the Core. Just fire to somewhere else...
5) after some minutes, Rocket Turrets or Plasma Turrets will destroy the core, and [Zrx] will disappear from the name. Then, approach to Tovera and put your core on it. Then, you can extract two quantum CPU extenders from CPU room as shown in the movie.

Ammunition Setting : Artillery Shell: 3,000, 15mm: 12,000 other bullets all 6,000

#### Important Note: Since TOVERA-Class Dreadnought Shield is strengthened, it is almost impossible to defeat Tovera without getting damage. Please prepare for the small repair bay to spawn & have spare turrets including heavy ones. Even for the best case, I lost 7 turrets.
█████ █████ █████ █████ █████

The initial CPU Power is set to 5.4 mil to allow users to meet CPU requirement with only Large Auxillery CPUs without Quantum extender.

# Heavy Turrets (new feature in Reforged Eden) : Salvage tovera-class dreadnought or imerat class Destroyer or you can build one by getting the large turret upgrade kit from POI and advanced turret upgrade kit from trade station.
Device Limit for Heavy Turrets: You can add additional 12 heavy turrets on top of existing 24 turrets per type limit. (i.e 12 heavy plasma + 24 plasma turrets)


█████ Gameplay Functional Features █████

* Agility
- can reach max speed for all directions, ~60 deg/s roll speed

* Battle
- default 67 turrets + 10 Artillery Cannons.
- Long head with Decoy Generators and two decoy turret at the front side : surrounded by XENO blocks. The missiles from turrets will aim this first rather than turrets.
- Special Bumper Design with XENO.

* Mining: you can drill astroids with 2 drills (use harvest cockpit at main bridge & 1st person view)
- Backward Harvest Cockpit at Main Bridge: When you are drilling astroid or approaching target to salvage with tool turret, please use harvest cockpit & 1st person view for better maneuvering

* Enough Power: 3 Advanced Generators and some more large generators will provide enough power for any serious battle.
- Please add one more advanced generator if you want to install Bastion Shield.
- Solar Powered : If you place your ship near the bright star (blue giant), you would get huge solar energy.

* Front Bridge: For small quests like data chip collection, you need to go out to space and come back soon. Also Frostbite is a headache. So, front bridge has small door to go out quickly, shower to de-froze & de-radiate, and decontamination device to cure Frostbite.

███ CPU Power Upgrade Tips ███
This ship requires Auxillary or Quantum CPU.

1. Large Auxillary CPU - 330,000 CPU Power Consumption Reduction (10 MAX)
- theoretically you can install 10 Auxillary CPU to cover additional 3.3 million CPU Power
##1) Research Large Auxillary CPU - (F3)
##2) Hunt Legacy Drones and gather Salvaged Drone Processor in M2 or R Star
##3) Build and install Large Auxillary CPUs in CPU room

2. Crew Member - 2,500 CPU Power Consumption Reduction per person. Buy it at trading posts.

3. Quantum CPU Extender - hunt super space POIs and Legacy POIs (like RE ver. Tovera Class) - 200,000 CPU Power Addition (Unlimited, but extreme battle required - fully upgraded SEEKER XE can win the battle)

█████ How to get XENO blocks? █████
1. Get a decent CV and a HV tank with a Tool Turret
2. Find Legacy Ground POI with XENO blocks and salvage it (abandoned series)
