nie ma tego ?

going by the name alone I was wondering if you would look into a functional good design for the HULK from eve online or something near like it and sv mining drones/combat drones to go with it?

@OctalDecoder Yes!l....that helped, thank you.
@jrandall Still seeking your permission to post on workshop my modified version of your Charon

As to the air issue... I completely re-did, what I am currently calling, the Charon-CH10 X (because it is xtra wide) and managed to get the whole ship air tight. Looks like the original back end is air tight if one, blocks the constructor holes as Octal said.

@Comic Yak @jrandall It seems the leak is somewhere in the room with the constructors at the very front of the ship. to fix it I put two airtight blocks where the gaps in the half walls are.. I think the actual leak is where the thruster is all the way at the back of that constructor room, but not 100% sure. For now the bottom deck has air (minus the constructor room). Hope that helps a little

@jrandall Your welcome, I have spent many an hour trying to track it down lol. Everything afaik tell looks green/airtight. I have even added ventilators thinking maybe the air is just not getting to it...no change.

Also been trying to get your permission to put on workshop my modified version of the Charon. Sent pictures of it to your business gmail, with a couple questions.

Thank you Cosmic Yak. I have not looked at the ship recently and did not know it had an air leak. I noticed something changed with some blocks making them not air tight anymore which has caused a few creations I made to no longer hold air. I will have to look at this. Thanks for the heads up. And thanks again!

I debated whether to say anything on this. The cargo area is not O2 covered. This carries over into west938, Randori, and my modifications. I have spent hours trying to track it down to no avail.
My modification widens the Charon allowing for room for upgrades like grow plots and Galaxy Reforged devices...whilst basically keeping fairly true to the original design of the Charon.
Carapace-7 really make my modification(s) moot lol.

Anywho, should someone come across why the cargo area won't hold air... let me know please. (preemptive reply... yes I have used the debug "N" tools for show air tight blocks and show oxygen...any other methods have not been tried besides pulling blocks and replacing them)
TYVM in advance!

Thanks draynor9. This ship was made before shields were in the game so no home was mapped out for it. However, if some of the fluff stuff was removed from the cargo area, I think a shield could be added there somehow. It has some extra space for sure but might require some modding. Thanks again!

where does Shield go? mine missing now and i cant find a spot to put it

Thank you MacShell!

That's huge!!! Certainly, a fav'ed one!!!

Haha! Thanks Flyingmike! :)

54 farm plot potential quickly removing the esthetics of the container room. @jrandall best ship for hoarders like me. Max cargo space and nimble af ship. Make a 20+ - 320k container storage CV will ya :)

Thank you Flyingmike! :)

Best ship

Thanks Palladin888! I guess when I was building it, I was going for just being a cargo ship and it is the only CV I made without a farm. It actually does have space for one thou. The cargo hold area basically is open for whatever if it was changed. Thanks again!

I love the look of this ship. Which is had some grow plots though.

Thank you ravien_ff :)

Added to my scenario as a NPC freighter! Awesome ship!

Thank you bad coffee! I didn't quite follow all of the math there, but I am not complaining :) I didn't really know the math that well, but through testing other ships loaded with cargo, depending on the weight of the cargo it is loaded with, it seemed like it could handle a lot with 4 of the biggest CV lift thrusters. I did test it with all 10 320K storage controllers loaded with elevator blocks and it got off the ground decent. So, other cargo may be heavier or lighter. Well, anyway, thanks again!

Assuming I didn't goof somewhere in the math, the max takeoff mass (1M/S^2 accel up) for this on a 1 G planet would be about 148 KT. Ship is 9.37 KT, so 138,778 tons of cargo.

That's without turning on the heavy lift mode, which doubles the thrust and raises the total takeoff mass to 296 KT.

So that's spectacular. :D

Thanks Ashrai and Fenra369! @Fenra369, I was debating on the hull material myself. I went with steel for weight mainly but also thought this is cargo ship not meant for combat unless very light. I guess I was just trying to make it fit the role. As of switching hull materials, you could go all the way to combat armor and have no thrust issues unless carrying a lot of heavy cargo at once. Thanks again!

While asthetically pleasing.. I'm curious as to why it was built in just general steel as a military survival ship. Steel in general isn't too great for a CV, and for a ship that could see combat steel isn't going to save much of anything. Is the thrust able to support hardened steel at all?

Lovely :)

Thank you Jake and Pwned :)

how do you even have the time for this and the ideas

Great work! You must be some kind of architect or engineer in real life :)

Sweet jrandall let me know what you think, kinda crude but I have a mark 3 now that has better textures :P

Thank you very much Fractalite, Generalzoadka, and Grandpa's Gaming! @Fractalite, lol. @Generalzoadka, I did accept the invite. Again, thank all!

@jrandall, love all yours ships and designs! Cant wait to get in game and check it out! Thanks again and keep up the grat work!!

@jrandall, not sure what happened, but i sent a friend request just so you can quickly look at them, only way i can think of to show them to you, we dont have to remain friends after lol

The more I play around with this the more I like it. I just spent time trying to refurbish the pre-fab 4a and discovered that this ship is everything that one wants to be and it can not manage the cargo/storage. They should just kill the Hakon(4a) and replace it with this.

Thanks ROMERO! Good info. I spawned it and didn't have the problem so I started wondering about that. Thanks again!

Thanks Tact, Generalzoadka, Aristacah, Kakarotto, and ROMERO! @I am not sure on the MX5E. Very odd. I will check into that. Maybe a patch did something to the MX5E? IDK. I been running into issues on a lot of existing ships as of late. Little changes in the game has been making some stuff break. @Aristacah, I haven't looked this morning yet, scared now. lol. @Generalzoadka, I tried the links you listed but it says the item is not available. Sorry. And thanks again all!

Looks like a carrier ship, the shots of the ship on the sun look really nice. Plus I really like some of the shapes on the front and the bridge, makes me think of some anime thing. Thanks for sharing. Regards.

I have no idea who downvoted this incredible design and ship, but you're crazy. This is a 10/10! Completely awesome, as usual jr! Love your stuff and can't wait to see more.

The one im most proud of, The Valkyrie mk2 combat frigate, full combat steel, max turrets, does very well in PvP.

Ambry Class Frigate C, hope you can see them on hidden jrandall

very nice ship, as always you make my jaw drop lol

Thank you D00mnoodle, Dan Bolo, PlaPanda, and Bonedog! @PlaPanda, this CV is very specialized to move lots of cargo, in fact that is all it is really for. For standard CV's that have farms, hangars, etc., the most recent ones are Cosmos-STX (starter), Carapace-C3 (Mid range). Both have decent sized hangars and some SV landing space. If you want extreme hangars and landing pads, some older ships like the Hecate Carrier and Perses Carrier have the most but do not yet have alpha 9+ storage installed however still have a lot of regular cargo box storage. Thanks again all!

@PiaPanda check out the Cosmos, its an all in one CV. This one here is a cargo CV, best one I've seen so far too.

Ooooooooooooooo Piping AND jrandall curves! nice :D

looks nice but i want a indoor hangar for my small vehicel if i fly to near to a enemy base they get shoot to easy

Another Great build Jrandall...really like the Cargo Ship look

Hey it's up! Sorry for not checking it out earlier, I had a very busy weekend.
You allready saw my feedback before and my opinion hasn't changed since then, so I'm not gonna rewrite that entire wall of text lol. I'll be short and just say stellar work once again J! GJ!

Thank you bob8734, Patman, and Myrmidon :) @Myrmidon, hmm, I guess I could see that. I tested this with normal to about 1.10 gravity. The ship has only 1 generator but the largest one. For anyone looking to add more fuel and generators, the storage area actually has a fair amount of room to add these parts. In between the storage modules, there are some deco pipes on the floor going to more deco behind it. In this area there is plenty of room to add T1 or T2 generators and plenty of fuel tanks. Addition parts could also be placed in the extreme dangerous hallway near the front of the ship. Basically adding more fuel and generators should be quick and easy and not really even look out of place and room for many. Not that a storage ship like this is fuel efficient, but I did try to keep it efficient as possible for the power and storage it has. It was one of the reasons why I used the largest thrusters and generator available. Thanks again all!

Fidnings : I have tested the CV fully loaded totaling around 211kT of cargo and I found out that in planets with gravity of 1.21 and above the current power generators/fuel tanks are barely enough to help her exit the planet's gravity. I think a small improvevent in this area might help, especailly if the player needs her to move cargo for long distances inside the planet's gravity.

On the other hand this improvement can be left to the players to decide what to do and add more fuel tanks and power generators.

Fantastic job mate.

Wonderful design! It looks beautiful. I'm glad to see you are building outside of the CPU limitation again, and I look forward to building this soon. Keep it up!

Thank you Siege, Havoc, Rustimus, Cinerite, -|| R=znor ||-, bonza2me, and Fractalite :)
