Thank you

Thanks jrandall. This ship is allways in my mind. The updating as yo show in the instructions on the ship is a must. I'm new on this game (2 weeks).

thanks jrandall i've had a lot of fun with this ship!

Doesn't look like edits are allowed. Actually it's the MX5E-C version by Drakkath that I crafted. Alt. for Camera Adjust is the same.

PorterWake: "but you can't see the thing."

I crafted this, the Cockpit version by Phantazim, earlier today on Official NA.
By default, yes the 3rd-person camera is screwy, it doesn't show the ship. Simply hit Alt. Key (I used left-Alt) then adjust the camera view with mouse & scroll, then re-hit Alt to set.

It's so good that it was added to the official Blueprints list. Thanks!

@smonroe932 same problem. I wonder whether the blueprint origin is far, far below the actual ship. See https://empyriononline.com/threads/solved-powered-down-ship-inside-pressured-space-station-cools-to-outside-temperature.98442/
If I fly high above the Trade Station, it will let me repair. I will try one of the derivatives to see if it has the same problem.
Are you playing vanilla or RE? I'm in RE.

This is my first SV with warp capabilities. I've played with the original blueprint, then built one with all the suggested upgrades. All the many pages of accolades are well deserved. it's a great ship.
The only problem I've had, is trying to repair to blueprint, on a T2 repair bay. I get a message: "Area blocked. Repair template does not fit into available space!" Got the same results from more than one repair bay.
it would be great to be able to repair this ship as it was intended.
Anyone else have this problem? Is this a vanilla thing? Fixes?

did a little edit. a more stripped down version with an open cockpit and a little bed area called the "pilot's quarters". It's my first upload and first attempt at editing anything.

Still the best in its class.

I still think this is the all time best ship ever designed on here, The post Jan 2020 ver with the drone hatch. It is what I compare every mid level exploration SV to.

I actually have the old ship for this moded for personal use. Still works well for me as I don't play weights and cpu. Gona poke at this one too :)

This was my first ship and I had a lot of fun with it. Very compact and really looks great. I painted it to match my Mustang. LOL

jrandall, thank you so much for this great ship. I was looking for a comfortable explorer ship for a new save game and I also wanted to try out a finished ship from the workshop. With the MX5E I found exactly what I was looking for. :-)

I have realized my own idea of ​​a cockpit and also added additional comfort, primarily by means of circuits: Merc-MX5E-C

This is a great ship, I have always really liked your Merc line. I have used a few in the past. Now I am playing again I am using this one for, Thankyou very much for the instructions on how to upgrade it as I know very little about these things.

I actually upgraded it to T4 as I added some turrets on the roof so T3 wasn't enough. Also gave it a "paint job" inside and out. It turned out quite well I think.. Thanks again..

I did a refit of the MX5E and rebuilt the wing using blocks, increased the thrusters and manuerverability as well. you can finnd it here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2339420010 I renamed it because merc = freelancer

Thank you retrotx!

Brilliantly designed - you are obviously very good at this!

Thank you rootzij and Marathoner71! @rootzij, very cool. I added it as a modded version on this post. Thanks again all!

This is fantastic all around ship, especially for early game runs. You do some amazing work!

Hello Jeff, i updated this favorite for Reforged. Can be found here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2433608160

Thank you very much japp_02 :)

My favorite SV when starting, thank you so much, also for your LCD instructions!

Thank you all! Sorry about my very slow response. @Loco Porco, with the newer flight model and CPU cost of RCS, I would normally try to use that CPU for more well placed thrusters vs RCS (if possible). In this ship without a redesign it would be hard to do. The RCS can help some, but would require some experimenting to see if the CPU cost for them would be worth while. I haven't noticed RCS doing much any more so I normally build new creations without them. And thank you all again!

After upgrading the CPU, does adding one RCS help the ship turning?

Definitely an excellent T2 "first run for neo" ship!

Absolutely love this ship! Nice job! I'm also checking out the other mods on this design that people have done, like what I see! If there was a story line behind this, this design would be one of those tried and true models found all over the galaxy.

@Jrandall i have another redesign of the mx5e that is a redesign on my original redesign https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2339420010

Screenshot says 14 Sathium ingots, but it really needs 14 Titanium Rods.

welche Blueprints sind auf den neusten stand NOV.2020

which Blueprints are up to date NOV 2020
this not, too small cpu

Great!

A very good and versatile ship. There is a hidden potential: The storage can be increased by one block up to 20k. Ammunition boxes can be replaced with a container controller, there is a lot of free space under the cab and on the sides. By gradually strengthening the apparatus with engines, good results can be achieved. Having examined this ship in creative mode, and gradually upgrading it, I use it as the main ship xD Thanks to the author for the drawing !!!

Here is my version with internal cockpit https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2256462941

For this version what drone will fit in there or is made too?

Thank you!

Thanks Serval! Yes, go right ahead. If you want I could list it as a modded version on the this post if you link the workshop creation here. Thanks again!

Hello, can I add my version of MX5E, with inner canopy?

Thank you ZappPSR and Ms.PacmanTV! @Ms.PacmanTV, yes it does have a warp core. It has some upgrade options to add a shield as well with another generator and cpu tier 3 blocks. But warp is stock. Thanks again!

Does this ship have warp?

@jrandall This ship made a difference for me in the game. I'm new player, since August 5. Today I did so many things thanks to this ship. Sir, your work is wonderfull, your ships masterpieces, they are really a work of art. Watching your videos makes it looks simple, like Lego, but there is nothing simple in bluiding such beautiful ships, it requires talent. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Thank you ZappPSR! As in compatibility, well, that has been broken many times already. So once I get around to looking at a creation after a patch, many times I have to make updates to it. In the case of this ship, many updates so far including a complete overhaul. lol. As in warp distance, it is more limited than CV's but a fixed number. I don't know the exact distance at the time. I would have to check on that. And thanks again!

Dug this little gem up when I realized that it was easier to fly and hand-mine then to get there via land with a hover-miner. Very nice job on the retrofit, good capacity, and enough manueverability that it doesn't turn into a total anvil when loaded up.

The T2 CPU limit is a frustrating one at times, but good on you for making a warp-capable version and easy path to upgrading later.

I think I stumbled upon some info about long range and short range warp drives but didn't take the time to read about it. So, how far will this warp drive take you? Only planets on your solar system or beyond? And also, how do I know a Blueprint will be compatible with the latest version of the game? This ship is amazing by the way.

Thank you mathaniel, RevanA4, and Payden! @Payden, I agree. It is more expensive but offers a lot more features and is upgradable. And thanks again all!

Should have picked this over the MX2 this past game - not much higher in cost but much more potential. Nice update, thanks!

Jrandall I've finalized that merc build and published it you can find it here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2180535962

When I grow up I will give CPU a try lol. Lotta hours and just now trying out space, the last frontier;).

Thank you mathaniel and Fizze! @Fizze, I need to look at this again to see how A12 effected it. @mathaniel, Ah cool. I been try to build everything with CPU in mind now, but it would be fun to not have to worry about it on some build again. Thanks again all!

Hey Jeff, since 12.3 is out i just had to update your Design for the features. Couldn't fit the constructor but now the Modded MX-5 Black has 2 mining Lasers and 3 Minigun Turrets for defence. Would be an cool if you have a look at it and if you like it, a place on your modding list would be an Honor.

Sorry JR I should have said I never play with CPU, weights? on. When I grow up I will lol.
