[UEF] Perseus-class Heavy Cruiser Mk5 (Homeworld Inspired)

PERSEUS-class Heavy Cruiser Mark-V

---

This is a ship a long time in the making and is now updated with new DLC and a few adjustments from the Mk4 Design. For those of you who don't know who I am, and I doubt any of you who aren't subscribed to YouTuber's:

I'm a Historical Consultant, I worked with Gaijin and Wargaming Entertainment who served in the Marine Corps and attended the US Naval War Academy. I mostly give advice on Naval Weapons and Vessels but also in MBT's and weapon systems. I also was once upon a time a 3d Artist that worked on Bethesda's Fallout 3: Broken Steel as well as modding for Homeworld 2's Complex mod and ♥♥♥♥ for Fallout and Fallout NV.

Most know me by Azumazi, or my actual name, Stephen Hembree.

So, why do I bring that up? Because I decided to take the knowledge of naval defense systems and place them into a game. That concept? All or Nothing protection and Naval Armor Systems and my love for gaming.

A concept art I had worked on modeling for Complex but never got around to it I decided to bring into Space Engineers.

The ship is designed around a Citadel system with Heavy armor framed with blast door blocks over another layer of Heavy armor. This allows the Vessel to continue fighting for some time through battle damage. The spaced layer with framing stops deformation from causing damage to the inner layer. This also allows the Citadel to survive a direct hit from a Railgun from Whip's updated Railgun mod.

The ship has most of it's vital systems within the Citadel, the exception being the weapon system, but they do have armored barbette's up to their gun mounts in locations that allow it.

Thanks to jonathan with the Helios T-8F Ares Multigrid Turrets, Perseus now has 4 of them. 2 Forward and 2 to the Rear for additional fire power. It now has Whips Turret Script to slave various turrets and with the groups already setup for the gun systems.

The ships are classed as Heavy Cruisers based on their weight and Size. I named them the Perseus since my other ship project using the Citadel design which is a Battlecruiser is larger by some 30000 tons and is named Athena.

I use Perseus on a Survival Server: Yes,that's right, I built and operate this ship on an active Survival server where I had to physical build it and not just paste it into the world. So far, it has operated extremely well, and I wanted to share her with everyone else. She has been updated quite a lot from input with other people trying her out as well as updating to include the new DLC which I have greatly loved to make it look better.

She has a Small Hangar in the front of the ship with 3 Connectors now, 2 on the floor and one in the rear for a small shuttle or fighter. It also now has a Top Hangar door system for recovery and the original forward for launching. It has a Port and Starboard Connector and entry system for ease of docking as well as camera's placed right next to the connector for port docking.

Also included are 4 fighters in the bay. 2x Bearcat Mk2 Fighters based on the Viper VII from BSG.

She was also designed with Mexpex's Energy Weapons mod in mind with 3x Fixed X-beam lasers in the bottom nose, but due to the issue with 1.199 patch causing that mod to break I have temporary removed them.

It is a modded vessel, and it has a Weaponcore version that is still being tested, I will repost the ship with updates to that modding system.

(Disclaimer on Mods)
Salt Squad Mod Pack 5 and 2 are OKI's Weapons and Mexpex Industries balanced and adjusted on damage, updated sound files that I added from actual naval gun fire for OKI, and a few other times. You can run the ship with your own OKI/Mexpex mods as they are the same models/scripts other than minor tweaking.

NPC Android Crew is not required, it's just there for added power/thrust/gyro to make the ship more agile. None of the scripts on the ship are on the Crew so not loading it with it will not cause any issues.

Sci-fi Images Mod just lets me use a lot more images for the Sci-fi Buttons which makes labeling far better, but you can go without it and it will just remove those images off the LCD screens on the button panels.
