Kopi Freighter (RE)

Presenting the Kopi Freighter, the latest build from Filbert Shipyards!

UPDATE: I have made a few compatibility mods to this build to fit with the 1.7 shield changes. I removed two small constructors to free up enough CPU to add 1 small shield capacitor. There is room to add 3 more shield boosters if needed in the engine room. This has had no impact on the ships Z&E requirements.

The Kopi was built for Xcaliber's Anvil November 2021 Designers Challenge: Expanse-themed builds.

This ship was built in Reforged EDEN 1.6 and will only work in Reforged EDEN or Reforged Galaxy.

The Kopi has been styled after the ships of the Expanse TV show universe but is intended to serve the world of Empyrion as an Early-mid game mobile base/carrier. The Ship unlocks at lvl 15 and includes a number of base functions. The Kopi has 2x Advanced constructors, 4x Small Constructors and a Deconstructor for production. The ship has 6x 320k cargo bays and features twin CV docking pads for hauling your other early-mid game CVs (miners, starters etc.)

The maneuvering thrust has been lessened to focus as much CPU on the main drive thrust as possible. This design, while in keeping with the style of the Expanse, affords great warpable payload capacity in a small build. While the Kopi can certainly move about, it is really meant to replace the starter 'base' more than anything else, with the added benefit of being able to warp with you as you explore the early game. I tend to park my mobile space stations (which i like to think of the Kopi as being) at stars or UCH sectors, places free from threats, and then move around and work/fight/explore in one of the other CVs i keep docked to it.

One other nice feature is the inclusion of solar power for standby fuel-free running. The Kopi has enough CV solar output to run with the constructors and decon in standby if you turn off the gravity. This means you can setup with negative power consumption and leave the cons/decon to run while you are away and they will only burn fuel while operating their tasks (game bugs notwithstanding)

- Unlock Level 15

The ship can also be upgraded a bit as you use it. There is space in the core room to add an Advanced CPU extender. The extra CPU can be used to add another constructor or Decon, upgrade the warp drive, add a mining or salvage turret, and even increase the shield (adding a 3x3 shield will require minor changes to fit it in front of the warp drive.

-Enjoy!

**EDIT: Updated (because i forgot initially...) the Device tab with labels and proper sorting of devices. Pre-set the input/output of all the constructors and food processors.**
