The Halcyon

The Halcyon is a Core7 Heavy Cruiser made for Reforged Eden 2.

Built first and foremost as a Heavy-tanking ship, The Halcyon, while small on stature, is big on armor. This ship is an absolute unit of solid and thoughtful armor-mass. The airframe prioritizes weapon-protection above all else, with a double-armor sleeve arrangement for 18 Light Manual weapons, with a central-frontal Light Manual decoy enscorced in 3x thickness armor on all sides, and 12+ layers in front.

Using a functional-central decoy buys this ship extra CPU, nothing goes to waste. Your decoy section is 4x dispersed thrusters throughout the depth and breadth of your frontal armor, as well as a Generator and Manual weapon for a total of 6 decoys.

Think this is small for a Battleship? Tour this ship's internal structure to find a shocking full-upgrade path to the highest possible shield strengths in the game, The Halcyon fits all possible shield extenders, and can also house a Small fusion core, with room to spare. The ship comes standard with expansive Hangar, making this an excellent super-efficient killer that can also function as a daily driver and for tasking.

The Halcyon has nearly 1 Million storage Volume, with all of it's storage volume being completely armor-wrapped, and it's main ammo controller being housed with vital components in the most secure location on this ship, This ship can lose it's entire frontal armor structure up to the pilots cockpit, 20+ layers of 7-wide armor, and not just survive, but continue to fight. I know, because I did. The ship is thoroughly tested and videos of this ship's capabilities can be viewed along with it's pictures on this workshop page.

Don't need all that upgradeability? Don't have the parts yet? Your shield hangars can be repurposed to mount turbines, constructors, or additional storage. Don't have a Fusion Core? The Halcyon can accommodate 2x Advanced gens. Don't have upgrade kits? The ship doesn't need them. It functions on all light weapons, and can kill some of the game's most lucrative, and largest enemies, with it's standard loadout.

This ship is thoroughly damage and explosion tested, it was built to take on Eradicators as a Core7 as it's baseline. It is also exceedingly efficient, resilient, and versatile. The Halcyon has smooth and even turning, with maximum omnidirectional speeds, and solid weapon-convergence for highly accurate fire at close range.

This blueprint requires 28 Plasma converters ( 5k credits per ), these can be bought at Bertram's Arms vendors on any Polaris Trade station. Mining 1 Neodymium asteroid and selling that Ore at any Polaris refinery will net you enough for all of them, and then some. Aside from The Plasma converters, this ship requires no special parts.
