Description
Star Wars : VT-49 Decimator - MK III

Inspired bei "Star Wars: Commander" game and other SW publications.

This is a big size SV.

1:1 scale
Lenght: 38 m

The problem with EGS 1:1 scale replicas of medium sized ships between 25 and 75 meter length is, that the SV blocks are too small and the CV blocks are too large to create the most of these ships.
So whatever you choose, you have to make compromises.

Medium sized ships, SV vs CV facts:

* SV blocks allow you to create better shape, but the ship is heavy and lacking basic functions (grav gen, turrets, warp drive, medic station, etc.)

* CV large blocks are making it difficult or even impossible to create the right shape in most cases.

This picture shows the problem: (click on the picture for more details, read the description)


-----------------------------------------

Well, this ship was requested few times and I like the VT-49 design, so I did give it a try.

This is my first try on medium sized replica and probably the last one.
I'm not really satisfied with the end results, because I did run into all the problems mentioned before.

Creating it as CV was not possible in the 1:1 scale, so I used SV instead.

It's moving well for this size and weight, but it's even big and heavy SV.
Use the forward thrusters to get off from a planet.

* 6 passenger seats
* O2 station
* 2 x small constructors
* ammo and cargo boxes
* many fuel tanks
* 3 x rocket launcher
* 2 x Minigun turrets (1)

(1) The Minigun turrets are added by an unofficial trick, so there is no warranty this will work in future releases of EGS. Also, If you loose a turret in fight, you will not be able to replace it with a new one. (Same as for the ARC-170)

UPDATE 25.05.2016

Upgraded and reworked the ship for EGS Alpha:

- added more weapons (+1 rocket launcher, +2 plasma cannons, +1 gatling gun)
- added more thrusters for better handling on planets.
- reworked the hull and the back engines
- reworked the interior

UPDATE 21.06.2016

Replaced the turrets with gatling guns for Alpha 2.0 compatibility.
If you want turrets again, ask devs for adding SV turrets.

-------------------------------------

UPDATE 21.03.2017

Complete rebuild with Alpha 5.x blocks.

* fixed few design flaws
* rebalanced the thrusters ( now pretty fast! )
* complete retextured and recolored
* fixed light brightness, reduced lights
* redesigned interior
* added more passenger seats
* added more details to outer hull
* added more weapons
* added gunner seat, who can control back gatlings

cool ship thank you for your work

I must thank you kindly for making my favourite ship from Star Wars Galaxies that I'm glad I'm able to fly her in Empryion. I haven't played much so it's all loose flying, yet wish she had a warp drive in Empyrion, as she has in SWG. Even the two rooms you could customize in to make an Emperor-esque throne room at the tip of the front ship window.

I wish creativemode would allow you to keep unlimited energy for vessels so I could continue fiddling with it. (still a newbie to Empyrion)

I have to look into my old saves, if I have it anywhere, give me few days.

Thats a no then? :/

Lets wait for the 7.x version of Empyrion, where we "probably" get warp drives for SV's :D

Thanks, I can see the problem in doing a full scale one, but I dont mind an over scale one, do you still have the cv size one from the image? even just the shell would do if you never did the interior.

Unfortunately it's too small for an CV.
