hi rucky thanks for feedback, i'm not a builder but how would i make this vessel have shields? If you could explain it a step by step instructions i would be most appreciative.
Thanks

@david propably you are using a modified version of that Blueprint from someone else,
because... this version here does not have shields, I am sorry.
This version is an old Blueprint for Game version Alpha 7 and Alpha 8, but today is completely outdated. I'm sorry.

I am having trouble activating the shields. I have out pentaxid refined in the fuel tank....

Thanks for the fantastic ship Rucky. It worked as a perfect shell for the CV interior I wanted to create. Here is the final retrofitting I did. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1680193382

Yes, the Passenger-Upgrade is the new one +1
Have Fun with them :-)

To all: Tip: The Mining-Turret at the Front (and some minimal Blocks there) can be changed to 6x Drill Lasers ;-) I also made an small "tunnel" with an Pilot Seat from the Crew Quarter forward just above these Drill Lasers and with these new hardened Windows infront - for a better View when Asteroid Mining ;-)

I'm using the one with "(pas" at the end of the name. Although I need to make a new one because I think I lost a RCS somewhere along the way, and I must have saved the template sometime after I lost it. I am not about to deconstruct the thing to find it either. :P

Thank you @Aaron_IRL!
You have checked the new MARK-5 upgrade or using one of the older ones?

I'm popping out one of these today. I did flip the lower hanger doors. That "speed bump" was giving the WarMonger and Tomahawk trouble when loading. I was having to bottom them out just to get them over the hump. I try out everything else, but always end up back here. I love the MkV, WaspX3, and Orion (which was my first CV). I haven't popped out an Orion on this current server yet, but it's on the list if I ever get back to asteroid mining. Great work!

Yes, propably I should have written that a bit more clear (so my fault here),

DOORS_CLOSED is a Switch in the Control Panel to override the Default Open-Close-Mechanic (controlled by the MotionSensors) - But I *HATE* that Sound these Opening/Closing-Doors make, always when I'm coming near the Constructors ;-)

So, when Thrusters are active (which normally means you are flying), Doors are behaving like above: They are closed but open on Motion Sensors from inside and outside the Ship.
WWhen Thrusters are off (via Controll-Panel Switches OR Bridge.Switches), it's all open because you most propably are landed on a Planet.

But there exists Situations (MP on Servers f.e.) where you want to have your Ship CLOSED whereever it is. Then this Switch "DOORS_CLOSED" will come in handy.

Hope this could clarify the logic behind it...

Okay, i think I've figred it out now. Switching the "DOORS_CLOSED" too off allows the hanger doors to respond. I wish I was better at the sensor setting because I'd rather see the doors responding to their own sensor instead of all doors and ramps opening (front, back, and top) when only approching one of them. I love the ship though, so I'll get used to it. :D

Am I missing a switch somewhere that makes the hanger doors respond to the motion sensors?

Compatibility-Update A7 & A8 : Removing Plants in Growing Plots, adding "Fake" Console to be replaced with Repair Console in A8 by player.

thank you both!

WOW! I've seen the Vids...
And this isn't even a pure Combat Vessel!
Sexy, functional, Compact, BIG Hangar!! Class <5 AND COMBAT READY!

+1+1+1+1+1

I used have the Cherub as my favorite. NO MORE .... it has been superceded. I could not resiste... I changed the name to Lady Hawke. %^)

probably you need a Base / Platform to spawn it on (or you can deactivate this in Singleplayer in your Difficulty Settings)

Thank you!

Im not usally a blueprint guy but this caught my eye on the main page.. def gathered some inspirationg from this build thanks for a cool tough looking design!

Thanx! :-)

Wooooooo!! This Looks AWESOME!!!!!

Thank you!

Very nice midsized ship. Good performance!

thank you all!
no, no SV-Version ;-) but it's a nive shape, perhaps I make one.... good idea

very fast and agile combat capable mobile base!
thank you for sharing!!

dear god....

is there a SV version?

that should be way enough ;-)

Still, when removing the AoE-Shield blocks (green computer colored cylindric blocks in both sides) adding Fuel tanks there, you can about DOUBLE both times!!

That was my first configuration; but I got here and there chain reactions fighting my Combat Test Scenario Hard Level with that Ship. Therefore I wanted more secure that area and added these non-block-shaping blocks there. Since then I never got any chain reactions playing the Hard levels in these areas anymore ;-).
You get access to that area through the windows in the lower Hangar and through both black Doors on the upper one.

Omicron:
Norm-Thrusters only : 32.9 min
+ High-G and Space : 16.9 min @107% Power usage (but you don't need these additional thrusters on Planets)

Space:
Norm-Thrusters only : 164.0 min
+ High-G and Space : 83.5 min

both times flying forward (W pressed)

But what is the fuel consumption when you do fly forward? on planet/ in space? thinks that's as important as everything else ...

Thank you jrandall!

Nice looking ship! Very cool inside and out. Great job!

thank you!

Nice piece of Hardware!
That Ship is Carrier, Combat ship and mobile Base All-In-One!
And beats anything PVE related!
I want more!
