Thanatos-Mk-III-(RVS-15)

We at RasterOps Ventures would once again like to thank ITDocMan Engineering for their magnificent Xiphos design. Please visit their mod page to see, "Rate" and download the original design, if only in Creative mode to compare the designs.

The Thanatos Mk II RVS 14 was used as the template for upgrading to the Thanatos Mk III (RVS 15), Mk IV (RVS 16) and Mk V (RVS 17) designs. A design video is included on this page. The Mk III, Mk IV and Mk V models are all significantly larger at 152ms (76 blocks). They are all class 4 ships with 10x5 Hangers. The difference between models is in the hanger wing designs, as the interiors are identical.

The Mk III has a traditional short hanger wing. The Mk IV has an elongated hanger wing providing additional interior docking space. The Mk V adds two additional 6x3 hangers in its elongated wings. Please take a look at all three models before you decide which one best suits you.

Two layers of Combat armor surround the ship. These models also support a greater number of turrets and Direct Fire weapons. If Zascosium and Erestrum are in short supply you may always remove some or all of the direct fire weapons (in creative mode). Save your changes (ideally using a new Blueprint name) and build your modified design in Survival mode. Even the Advanced Constructor could be removed if necessary. You can always build and attach these systems later.

Each model can be yours for only 4499 credits. ;)

Do you have the latest model? Images showing a ship designator may not be the latest model. Check the Edit notes for more information.

Loss of character life and/or all of your collected merch while piloting the Thanatos Mk III is the sole responsibility of said pilot. :P
