Thank you MaximGorkiy, Knox, Wolfoot and Rhylock! @Rhylock it should be possible on a starter planet but would require finding the resources in a POI or salvage a POI. Just keep in mind, this is a very old creation now made when all the rules of the game were different dealing with power, flight model, storage, and resources needed. I made a newer version of this being the Merc-MX9 which is also now out of date now, but it was updated a fair amount from the original MX8. And thanks again!
Rhylock 18 Jul, 2021 @ 8:23pm 
Man I can't wait till I figure out how to get the rarer resources and make this ship.

For the fans, I made a upgrade version for >1.4.2
One CPU3 empty (and cheap) and one full CPU4 with max stuff
CPU3 : https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2410669610
CPU4 : https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2410669884

For the main changes :
Added a Shield, 2 storage container (ammo and normal) 2 rails and 6 turrets.
And CPU complient (the hard part ^^ )

Pronlem is: Any carrier vessels have not much space to landing wide "small vessels" im looking in the ws., but .... can be build the interior not into the wide but into the length in succession, you know?
jrandall  [author] 7 Aug, 2019 @ 9:39am 
Thanks MaximGorkiy! Well, I would love to, but the reason why I tend to have wide ships is to have an interior space and keep the thrusters away from that interior space so it doesn't have heat problems etc. But this thinking leads to wider ships. Maybe I will make one without an interior sometime in which it would be much easier to have a sleeker ship that way. Thanks again!
MaximGorkiy 7 Aug, 2019 @ 8:14am 
Hi one question: Could you create an narrow small vessel please? your ships are all so wide somehow...:steammocking:

@DASHEDM, :) Thank you! It really did start here. That means a lot to me. Thank you!
Dan Sher 11 Jun, 2019 @ 10:32am 
everything started here...
jrandall  [author] 18 Feb, 2019 @ 5:25am 
Thank you Ronnin79 and Oddux! @Oddux, the recent MX9 and MX9R were supposed to replace this one. They were built from the chassis of this ship. Basically I smoothed it out some, switched storage to alpha 9 specs, and changed the colors. The MX9R should be a direct replacement where the MX9 is lacking a bit due to 7500 CPU restrictions. And Thanks again!
Oddux 18 Feb, 2019 @ 2:55am 
I love the firepower and agility in the smaller package this has, but I also love the high protected cockpit setup and forward armor of the MXR. Its a tough choice.
Ronnin79 29 Dec, 2018 @ 11:24am 
Far best from this series, size, speed weaponry... Everything great!
jrandall  [author] 22 Dec, 2018 @ 10:23am 
Thanks Jasmarie and charlie.razor :). @Jasmarie, I am so sorry I must have missed your comment. I am lacking a ship of those specs with a drone hatch yet. I am planning on building something like that in semi near future. Again, thanks all!
charlie.razor 22 Dec, 2018 @ 8:22am 
This one is future proofed for A9. Just need to swap out some boxes, and make some simple changes. Base design is below CPU count.
Jasmarie 5 Nov, 2018 @ 7:10am 
Hi there! I love your ships! I was wondering if you have a mid-heavy defensive SV that either has (or i can add) a hatch on top for me to release my drone and use while still in the ship? I want it for the red moon.... I like to mine myself but the in and out due to weather is bleh. Thanks so much!
jrandall  [author] 20 Aug, 2018 @ 2:45pm 
Thanks Joe! If you want to release to he public, that is fine with me. If you send me a link I can add it to the post. All I ask and only do to an issue I had before was keep the name semi close to the original. I didn't used to care but one thing became problematic in the past as people thought it was a new ship. Let me know. Thanks again!
Joe 20 Aug, 2018 @ 1:06pm 
I made a more cargo boxes and small thrusters only version of your mx8 based on Metal slug's Cockpit version.
I'm new to creation that I have no idea how to shared it privately
Space Boy 18 Aug, 2018 @ 7:13am 
I like the curve and general design great work very futuriste !!!
jrandall  [author] 30 Jul, 2018 @ 7:38am 
Thanks Pantherr!
Pantherr 29 Jul, 2018 @ 5:26pm 
I have been using this SV for a while now and I really like it. Thankyou very much :). I almost "upgraded" to the MX18 but it was a little too wide for my CV, but I really like the MX8 anyway..
Thanks...
jrandall  [author] 21 Jul, 2018 @ 7:59am 
Thanks boiler1 and Gene R :)
Gene R 21 Jul, 2018 @ 6:11am 
This is my "daily driver" ship for about a month or so. Beautiful and sturdy. I took off some guns that I never use and installed 2 more fuel tanks and front lights. Probably added a motion sensor to extend the ramp and open the door.
boiler1 29 Jun, 2018 @ 2:40pm 
This is a great ship! It looks cool, has lots of guns and can carry lots of things.

I will admit, I gutted the inside and added more cargo boxes and 2 extra seats.
jrandall  [author] 19 Jun, 2018 @ 5:17am 
Thanks toksai!
toksai 18 Jun, 2018 @ 9:31pm 
I have to say I use your MX-8 ship quite often. Well thought out and designed. Take a beating too and keeps you alive. Great ship.
jrandall  [author] 25 Mar, 2018 @ 6:48am 
Thanks Neuticles. I just added some links on this post to modded versions. I have your mean looking MX8 in the listed in the main post now. I was orginally going to do a collection but I think it will be more seen on the items post it self. Thanks again!.
Darla 23 Mar, 2018 @ 12:14am 
Yw, glad you like it. :whiteward:
jrandall  [author] 22 Mar, 2018 @ 8:26am 
Thanks Darla! Very cool! I will get the link added to the post. Thanks again.
jrandall  [author] 13 Mar, 2018 @ 5:52am 
Thanks Rico! Glad you you like it.
Rico 12 Mar, 2018 @ 8:48pm 
I and co-op partner have been using this for a while now and found it to be the best we have used. Excellent firepower and very compact. Now at the stage in the game to check out your CV's. Good job. Tks
jrandall  [author] 12 Mar, 2018 @ 2:15pm 
Thanks for the comment |tb|JesusRaptor! "Tried that modification for a couple of weeks and liked it so well I now have 2." - you got to have backup! :)
JesusRaptor 12 Mar, 2018 @ 1:39pm 
I have been using this for some time now. Quite impressive! Very good for knocking down POIs.
I modified mine to taste. Took out a few mobile constructors and added a couple RCS, a fridge and more fuel and oxy tank/s. Tried that modification for a couple of weeks and liked it so well I now have 2. :)
Shiz314 15 Feb, 2018 @ 1:22am 
"Corvus" is finished and published, thank you again ;)
Shiz314 14 Feb, 2018 @ 2:56pm 
Thank you bro ;)
I will not forget your name when published :)
jrandall  [author] 14 Feb, 2018 @ 1:28pm 
shiz314, also, incredible job on the big city! That is some amazing stuff. I know you and two others made it, but dam, that is impressive.
jrandall  [author] 14 Feb, 2018 @ 11:16am 
shiz314, thanks for the comment. That's fine. If you post it in the workshop, just say that it was modified Merc-MX8 or something. Thanks again.
Shiz314 14 Feb, 2018 @ 8:56am 
I love the design, if you allow me, i'll take the hull and modify it as a SV for my kundur.
jrandall  [author] 9 Jan, 2018 @ 8:35pm 
Thanks for the comments all.
stubert 5 Jan, 2018 @ 11:32am 
Awesome Design thank you very much. I did the same as WhiteWalker and put in an internal cockpit. But great ship it has everything you need and is very compact cheers.
Chronic Storm 4 Jan, 2018 @ 10:00pm 
I modified it a little because I like to exit to the inside of the ship so I built a cockpit. Just linking the change don't want any credit for design. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1257979996&searchtext=
jrandall  [author] 3 Jan, 2018 @ 3:52pm 
Pantoffeldiertje, My guess would be either the CV or SV got set to public, and don't match. IDK really. I haven't seen the problem or heard anything about it.
Yun 3 Jan, 2018 @ 2:53pm 
Hi, I removed the landing gear and placed them back, after that I was able to dock the CV!

I also tried it a bit (will do coördinated POI tonight with some people, I'll use this ship to test further) and the sheer firepower is awesome. It feels very sluggish though, turning takes forever (thrust is okay, it's the RCSes). Tonight I'll get some hands on experience with destroying stuff :-).
Yun 3 Jan, 2018 @ 2:00pm 
Hi, really cool vessel. I would like to use it on my CV, but it won't land (neither on CV and bases). Do you know what I am doing wrong? I checked, but the ramp is closed (it also sticks a bit out).

jrandall  [author] 2 Jan, 2018 @ 8:55pm 
Truths33ker22, Thanks for the ship reviews! That was very cool. I just added another smaller themed ship to the mix if you want to check it out. I added the link in the description and a couple screen shots to Merc-MX8 list.
