CLASS 6 WARFARE AT ITS FINEST
By no means does this ship meet the turret and device limits that Eleon developers have recently added to the game, and I won't whittle it down to meet those paltry specs.

This ship was originally built as a showcase, and as such is not very practical. However, I've spent a lot of time battle-testing this ship and adjusting its components as needed to make it usable. Deimos also includes everything you need (in excess!) to have a completely self-sustaining mobile base. This ship can also withstand one hell of a beating before it becomes unusable. It was also designed under the assumption that someday, EGS will have MULTI-CREW capabilities on ships, as this would suit a large clan or group. It is definitely overkill no matter how you slice it, but is in fact a VERY dependable ship.

NOTES FROM THE ARCHITECT TO THE NEXT CAPTAIN
The controls are a bit weird if you sit in the Battle Bridge; I've purposefully turned the seat to look beyond the midship hangar, over top the offensive broadside shear: right in the middle of the action. Drive as you normally would with WASD, but the broadside now becomes the forward face of the ship. I also recommend using the arrow keys on your keyboard to steer, rather than the mouse. Level to the planetary axis using 'O'; use A and D to strafe your target, keeping enough distance to keep your turrets locked on, but far enough back that you can beat incoming enemy rounds by sliding back and forth. This can be done by setting your distance with 'W' and 'S'. 'Space' and 'C' are for elevation, but she doesn't move vertically very fast. Instead, rely on your 'Up' and 'Down' arrow keys to adjust your roll angle. Always try to keep your broadside shear facing the action! Lastly, hit 'T' when using the ship. With all the light textures I've painted throughout the interior, it's still easy to see inside most rooms. It won't look as pretty, but it'll gain a TON of FPS.

@Hawk66 Sorry bud, I don't really play Empyrion anymore, at least I don't plan on it anytime soon. Thanks for the compliments though! :)

Would you be up to making a combat CV for Homeworld server limits? Keeping things like ability to use as nomad life ship, escape pods, hangar, and your amazing styling? Love the work!

Made some huge progress on the support frigate today! It's going to be a must-have for anyone with a fleet of fighters and bombers! The perfect companion ship to Deimos! STAY TUNED!

Yes, what Kaos said. That's how I do it, anyway. It may seem like a bit daunting at first, but there are a couple guides around these parts that walk you through how to set that up (as well as how to edit some settings). HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE :)

masterofnations the file needed to change that is a dedicated only file. "dedicated.yaml" I bet if you installed the Steam dedicated server (under tools) you could do what you wanted there. :)
JRS I started the BP last night, it should be done in about 7hours. :)

Thanks, I tried to make this as intimidating looking as possible! I do believe you can change the settings in your game; there should be some topics in the forum that cover this. Message me if you need help, I might be of assistance.

Kaos; hit me up when it's done! Should be later tomorrow when it's finished, right?
