The PIF Enyo is a Formido-class orbital bomber, built for Pyrrhus' Imperial Fleet in 2216. Widely used in the bombardment and takeover of Masperon. First assigned to the battlecarrier PIF-813 Deimos, and built specifically to fit her foreward holds. A total of 6 of these bombers (3 in each fighter wing) accompany the Deimos at all times on her voyages.

The Enyo is an armed-to-the-teeth frontline gunship. 4 homing rocket pods adorn the fronts of the main thruster housings, while the pilot has a direct line of fire with the foreward gatling gun. A quad pulse laser mount finishes off the Enyo's assault package, allowing this ship to do a substantial amount of damage to any foe. Not to be bested by any adversary, this craft has two straight-firing rocket launchers pointing aft, to help fend off oncoming assailants. The Enyo has quickly become the go-to ship for Empryians across the galaxy to use while cleaning Drone bases off their homeworlds.

Much like her mothership, Enyo shares the PIF-standard extruded armor hull plating. Crafted from the hard of steels available, this bomber can not only withstand an extensive onslaught, but it provides its pilot with a traveling haven with which they can use to explore a planet's surface. While this ship doesn't include a constructor (possibly?), it does include a refridgerator, cargo accessible from both inside AND out, an O2 station, all visibly packed into a fully-walkable interior! The cockpit also has a great view of the skybox, considering its restrictive viewing angles. Low-profile landing gear and a well-planned hull keep Enyo at an extremely low profile, allowing the Deimos to fit 6 of these just in the foreward hangars.

NOTES FROM THE ARCHITECT TO THE NEXT CAPTAIN
I wanted to originally build downward-firing rocket launchers into the left 'wing' for aerial carpet bombing, but unfortunately EGS doesn't allow you to point those up or down :(

Even though this ship has a walkable interior, I've managed to keep it fully wrapped in solid harded steel blocks and only 5.5 blocks tall (the landing feet, I would consider a half-block in height). The Enyo manages to leave all sorts of room when docking on the lower level of the foreward hangars on Deimos, in between the yellow painted stripes. It is still large in comparison to most fighters, but manages to spread this mass out over a wide foreward profile, rather than being long and/or tall.

It does handle a bit on the heavy side, but I feel that it's a bit more realistic given Enyo's size and width. It's still quick and nimble, but you're not going to do a full-speed 180° turn on a dime. If you feel the need to remedy this, I recommend 2-3 more RCS modules in between the wings on the left side, covered by some hardened steel (or more thrusters, guns, refridgerators, whatever the hell you want).

While still a realism piece like her mothership, Enyo is very much a PVP-able ship on any server! Well, it doesn't break any default server limits, to say the least...

@JRS86 shoostar:
Thanks! Still new to the game and learning the updates and all their misfortunes, haha.

@Hawk66: It's an old blueprint, last updated before O2 ventilators were introduced to the game. Sorry :/

That said, I'd recommend removing one of the cargo boxes inside and simply adding an O2 vent in there, though you can remove just about anything and fit one in there.

Hey just subbed this and am having O2 issues, cant take helmet off while flying ship or I'll suffocate to death. Is this on my end or am I missing something?

The obvious:
All necessary components are- ON, FUELED/FILLED, and I have made sure to turn the ship off/on again to close the door behind seat.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Very good work!

My only competition is finding customers whose navy's have fatter wallets! All jokes aside, ZeroG, UEC, and a number of other builders/groups on here have made some absolutely stunning pieces. I doubt I can compete with them as you suggest, but I do plan on building many more ships to fill out this fleet :)

You should make an Empyrion Galactic Survival company to compete with ZeroG. I also think the UEC (United Earth Coalition) could compete aswell.

Legos are awesome :)

This looks very similar to a Lego ship I made as a kid. And that is awesome.
