Cool. Glad you're enjoying it. :)

Sup Papple! Its me again, im close to completing the "refit" and plan on uploading it soon, I'll credit you at the top of the page and damn, this ship is amazing!

Any chance of an Mods.io release, love these ships 😍

will do, thanks Papple!

@(e)GSV No Patience And No Time

Go for it. Please provide credit for the original. :)

you Ok with me using this as a base for one of my Offensive Units (this: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2834088600)? I'll credit you and link back to this page, but holy damn, Papple, this has just the general hull shape that I need! It'll be pretty unrecognizable after im done with it tbh tho.

@mick It's a little hard to describe exactly where, but they're near the front, just behind the first two missile turrets on top and bottom. There's also a hangar you can enter through.

wheres the airlock?

@Canny_Bol No. Its thrust is mostly Ion and not nearly strong enough. It could probably be modified to, but it would take quite a bit of thrust.

Can this land on a planet?

@cole.lizard05 Nice to hear that. Enjoy!

me and my friend do what we call work shop war we pic a workshop creator that has up to 5 ships and we can only use tho ships [ we do not video or post any content online nor take responsability for making the ships ] its just for fun and the challenge and these are on are top list of cool ships so far. : )

@random Techpriest Thanks! Glad to hear it still holds up.

Once again modifying her, I can just say that the Lapithes is an absolute Masterpiece and a beast in combat! Hell, she survived multiple shots from a "Seclusion-Class"-Railgun, another Workshop-Build.
Thank you for making this amazing vessel!

@Papple2 I'd greatly appreciate it if you did. I tried to do one without rotors but I couldn't get the angles right. I got frustrated and gave up. lol

@pjcoleman61793 I've considered it. Haven't been in a building mood as of late though.

Do you think you could make Marco Inaros' Ship the Pella?

Should be fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out. Went in and it was painfully obvious that they werent conveyered up, lol. Also made a few other edits, like reducing the absurd amount of batteries it has.

Thank you for bringing that up. Ill check those shortly. Glad you like it. :)

Hey! Just started carving into this for funsies, and noticed that a number of the bow rocket launchers aren't connected to the conveyor system. Just a heads up. That said, this thing is wickedly awesome, and I'm having a grand time with it!

Not sure how far away my next one is @crashlander

Need more grids!

Plz

Maybe, but its complicated.

How about you build a scrroirco class

@papple2 yeah, mine's about 65% scale, took me the better part of 4 months trying to overcome the engine limitations xD

Thanks, and I imagine so. A proper scale Behemoth probably breaks the games physics engine sadly.

@papple2 looks great! And if you think making interiors for this is insanity, try making them for the OPA Behemoth (I'm trying, and i've already been commited to a mental ward three times) :P

@Rocinamamadon Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. I feel that in part its just a different build style. There are other good Donnagers and Expanse ships on the workshop, depending on what you're looking for.

@Arron74 Thanks :D I'm glad to hear you like it.

Great Work !!!

Yeah but they don't have hangers and correct details
That's why I think you will be perfect for the job.😁

@Rocimamadon The Epstein Drive mod could probably do it, but I usually keep these ships vanilla so that they are more accessible to everyone. It isn't hard to add those drives to this design though, as the engines on the back are just the right shape.
I've been a little tempted to build a proper Donnager (I've built some that somewhat resemble it), but there's quite a few versions of it on the workshop already, and I like trying to make more unique designs to increase the variety of ships. I may do it at some point though.

@Blake Alexander Terida I'm sure it would be. I've considered using auto-repair systems on my ships many times, but my biggest concern is the affect on performance it can have. It wouldn't be too difficult to add to the turrets though.

O and if you put epstien drives on the main thrusters it will land and take off no problem

Make your own version of the donnager Papple2

While lacking an auto-repair system for the turrets and bow armor, this ship handled itself really well in a fight. Give it that capability and this design will be very hard to kill.

No problem. I never really built it to be an atmo capable ship. Though I have a suspicion as to where the question may have come from, given what came out on tv a few days ago.

Thanks

Is it capable of landing on Mars? In short, yes. Landing though, is a broad term, which doesn't specify the condition of the ship or it having the capability of lifting back off the planet after. So yes, it can land on Mars, but doesn't have landing gear and it can't really get back off the planet.

Is it capable of landing on mars

Interesting. I look forward to seeing those.

ah, good, i'll use this for my MCRN Railgun mod pics.

@nukegard This ship doesn't have a rail gun, though if one were available in vanilla it would.

@Well yes, but actully no. People use the DLC because it makes ships look nice. You're welcome to your own opinion on it, but if you want to argue about it, please take that somewhere else. You should be able to spawn this ship in without the DLC blocks. They're all cosmetic and it won't cause the ship to break apart. The interior just won't look nearly as good.

Why do so many ships require DLC's.. It's really annoying. I am not planning on spending money for in-game cosmetics and a few blocks.

This is the one that has the railgun right?

Glad to hear you like it. The raw hull might be somewhere, but it would probably take a bit of digging to find it unfortunately.

I'm in love with this haul, do you by chance have the haul of this clean? Just the armor blocks? I would love to use it on the server I play on but the block count is just way too high with ot fully done. Thanks either way.

Indeed haha... I'll be sure to post screenshots on the Discord

Thanks, lol. Hope it servers you well.

Mmmm yes... Target practice for my Dreadnaught haha. Awesome ship Papple, looking forward at looking at it.

@A Most Sovereign Lady. Thank you. I might do some MCRN or UNN skins of the other Expanse ships I've made for KMI. I like having some variety of ships available, but also some consistency in the each faction's designs.
