Thank you all! @AzaraiahZee, lol. Yeah, the phyics/bugs in the game can really mess stuff up a lot. Somedays it seems to work right. Other days it is a total mess. lol @strom1, I do not know. I am pretty sure it could, but I don't know where the CPU and power would be at. It would need the at least 1 basic, 2 improved, and 1 more advanced core + I would guess another generator or two (maybe). It is possible it could need more CPU yet, but I do not know at the time. @Bad coffee, I will have to check it out. And thanks again all!

Made a modified version of this for Reforged. The main change is widening the engine units at the back to allow for bigger thrusters and moving faster.

Will this cv work w reforged eden?
AzaraiahZee 4 May, 2021 @ 5:16pm 
Hey, Jeff. I experimented a little bit yesterday with a CV that's top was redesigned using the MCRN - Tachi landing platform base so the Tachi could land on it. I had an HV and 2 SV's docked on the Tachi so it couldn't dock to the mobile base properly and it was....interesting to say the least lol. Every time I got near the bottom of the Tachi, my body ended up pushing the ship off the platform and since the thrusters were off, the ship ended up falling off the platform and crashing to the ground. I never knew my character was so strong!! lol. It's been an interesting experiment xD

Thank you AzaraiahZee! As in your question, not really without re-painting the ship. The color palettes are different and a different ratio of shades/colors. I did attempt to make a alt color palette that could be applied existing human creations like the Cerberus's, but the translation does not come out right and looks off despite the the same colors. Really the only way to do it right would be to repaint the creation. And thanks again!
AzaraiahZee 27 Apr, 2021 @ 10:22pm 
Jeff, quick question:
I have been experimenting with using CV as a mobile base, to cut down on drone attacks. Would there be a way to get an MCRN recolor of your Cerberus? I like its legs and works great for a mobile mining factory :D
AzaraiahZee 27 Apr, 2021 @ 10:14pm 
Named for one awesome chick! Definitely looking forward to trying this beast out.

Thank you Doctor Tex :) I did the same before. :) Thanks again!

I heard you like carriers, so I put a Carrier (Draper) on your Carrier (Leviathan)

Thank you Lizaan! :)

Just built one of these for solo survival over the weekend... loving it so far!

Thank you Unleashed and Lord Ganjanoof! :)

I just got this monstrosity out of my factory. What a beauty ! Michelangelo awarded for sure !
Unleashed 13 Aug, 2020 @ 10:14am 
I very like the inside layout on this one. Most of our mobile bases in our space HQ are from you lol

spent 20 minutes just walking though this monstrosity... beautiful work of functioning art.
Alter Fritz 6 Jul, 2020 @ 12:22pm 
Thx man !
jrandall  [author] 5 Jul, 2020 @ 11:27am 
Thanks Alte Fritz. 2 of the CPU tier blocks are in the hangar mid ship mounted in the wall and are visible. The other 2 CPU tier blocks are in the floor on both sides of the gravity generator and visible. The core is at the front wall in the larger front engineering area. I hope that helps. Thanks again!
Alter Fritz 5 Jul, 2020 @ 11:07am 
jrandall can you disclose where the core and CPU parts of this blue print are plz ?
jrandall  [author] 5 Jul, 2020 @ 7:02am 
Thank you Steel Dragon, and Alte Fritz! @Steel Dragon, I was planning on a human like alt color scheme for the MCRN but I realized I need to modify all MCRN existing creations with the base color palette to make it work correctly with a big change in coloring. It really comes down to I need to change the color on all of the creations walk paths and landing pads or changing colors makes the landing pads white-ish which looks bad. I meant to do this some time ago but still haven't done it. lol. I wish I would have thought of this early on and built them all with a color change in mind. It sorta of inverts the colors in a way to accomplish the look. Thanks again!
Alter Fritz 4 Jul, 2020 @ 4:20pm 
Hey jrandall I play solo so turn off the CPU requirement. Where is the CPU so I can remove it as I turn it off I don't want to have to make or acquire it. Thx you for you work. this blue print looks great.
Steel Dragon 30 Jun, 2020 @ 11:46pm 
First I love your work...It is the sol reason I have just purchased the game.

I have a question about both the pioneer and the draper. Do they have an optional color scheme to match the perses?

I love that military grey look and want my fleet to match lol

Thank you AricDarkcloud, Braddok91, and mr.shen! @mr.shen, yes, a little bit of it. I was asked to build a homeworld ship awhile back and sorta tried some design cues on this one. Thanks again!
mr.shen 1 Mar, 2020 @ 2:23pm 
Did you base the design off from homeworld ships? It kind of remind me of the ships off from that game.
Braddok91 25 Feb, 2020 @ 9:49am 
Been using this for a month now. I think everything I use anymore is one of your designs. Keep up the good work.
AricDarkcloud 22 Feb, 2020 @ 7:41pm 
man your impersination on the mcrn lol
jrandall  [author] 17 Feb, 2020 @ 5:53am 
Thank you very much jazzmanferg! :)
jazzmanferg 16 Feb, 2020 @ 10:23pm 
I really dig all your stuff man! Each time I come back to Empyrion I tell myself I am not going to use any blueprints, I am just going to build myself. Then after flying around the 3rd or 4th giant grey cube I end up subscribing to your creations again. Your use of textures and shapes really make the immersion in this game. I am really enjoying the Expanse themed ships as well.
jrandall  [author] 29 Jan, 2020 @ 7:37am 
Thanks again PVFSeiei , davidkuyt00 and Quigley2009! I just updated the ship and added the missing WiFi. I put a bit of info at the top of post on where it is located now. Thanks again all for the heads up and comments :)
jrandall  [author] 29 Jan, 2020 @ 7:10am 
Thank you PVFSeiei, davidkuyt00, and Quigley2009 :) I will check on the wifi. I thought I had fixed it and placed the wifi in the main engineering area. I will double check and get the blueprint updated. Thanks again all!
Quigley2009 28 Jan, 2020 @ 2:05pm 
Ditto what others have said. I just got into EGS and pretty much use your ships exclusively. Love the design and thought you put into them. I also added Wi-Fi to the Draper (two-one fore and one aft) and found an oddity I thought I would mention. You put an air-tight door on the bathroom in the medic bay. Which means when you are in there taking care of business, you also slowly suffocate. Thought this might have been an oversight, but it's also possible it's working as intended :-)
Phoenix 27 Jan, 2020 @ 8:05pm 
Love all of your designs. FInally got to this one. Absolutely what i wanted. It is missing the Wi-fi tho. I just popped one on the ceiling next to the core. Great work tho. I end up using alot of of your designs.
PVFSeiei 17 Jan, 2020 @ 5:51pm 
Finally spawn it in survival, loved the ship! Amazing job! but I noticed it`s missing wireless conector
jrandall  [author] 10 Jan, 2020 @ 5:30pm 
Thank you eyespeculum, [WTS]TheBandMan, and Sektran! @[WTS]TheBandMan, It's not super great, but has a lot of CPU to space to add some RCS if needed. It's not that bad either. I feels like a bigger ship thou. Thanks again all!
Sektran 1 Jan, 2020 @ 5:58pm 
wow! just wow. Thank you for sharing this!
[WTS]Gryphon 1 Jan, 2020 @ 2:55pm 
how is flying it.....im all for realism but i hate dragging my mouse forever to turn 180 degrees lol
eyespeculum 1 Jan, 2020 @ 11:52am 
The awesome thing about this, is that the Orthrus will fit on it (just barely)! FWIW, I think the Orthrus/Deimos combo is one of the best in the game for single-player planetary stuff. To be able to carry them along on the Draper is a major bonus! In addition, this is just a great design. Everything is where you need it, and LOTS of space for all the mission-oriented craft you need! Terrific job!

Thank you very much Bleys Albion :)
Bleys Albion 31 Dec, 2019 @ 5:34am 
All I can say really, is pure WOW! Your design skills hold me in awe.
jrandall  [author] 30 Dec, 2019 @ 9:45am 
Thank you very much Malady, Kithid, Apollo2019, and Dor Sachse! @Kithid, I was experimenting trying to come up with a new style for info signs. The 45 degree angle was a new option I thought I would try out. I agree, I wish you could rotate them to any angle as I really wanted them closer to 10-20 degrees and not 45. Thanks again all!
Dor Sachse 30 Dec, 2019 @ 9:20am 
Good Design, i like it. It has a decent Size and shouldnt be bigger.
Apollo2019 29 Dec, 2019 @ 11:25pm 
Really awesome design JRandel love it!
Kithid 29 Dec, 2019 @ 1:25pm 
jrandal - Didn't I say this yet? Nice looking asymmetry game! I like the idea of tilting the LCD projections, although I wish they would allow for a gradual free form scale rather than snapping to 45 degree angles. I find the signs a little bit hard to ready at the 45 degree angles when on a 1 block height.
InvertedSheep 28 Dec, 2019 @ 2:53pm 
Beautiful outcome as always!! I especially love the air intake thing in the front of the thruster pods.
Would you ponder making a version with a docking bay for the Tachi? Maybe a smaller version of the landing base strapped to the side of the runway.
It would be awesome if one could use this as a carrier and lander, and still be able to carry the tachi to fight in dangerous space or to take down heavy space POIs.
Keep up the great work!! We're waiting anxiously to see what you're going to come up with next!
jrandall  [author] 28 Dec, 2019 @ 8:11am 
Thank you very much Lyric Lahnder, Magi of Metal, Jupiter Vessel Corp, Arisaema, SnowFox317, and DASHEDM!
Dan Sher 28 Dec, 2019 @ 7:51am 
It's almost as big as Perses!
FeatherSnow 27 Dec, 2019 @ 9:46pm 
The stylistic design is incredible. Amazing job!
Arisaema 26 Dec, 2019 @ 5:46pm 
Very nice build. Well done!
Jupiter Vessel Corp 25 Dec, 2019 @ 8:02pm 
I love this carrier. It's the best carrier you have done so far.
Magi of Metal 25 Dec, 2019 @ 7:52pm 
You are a master of your craft, every ship a bigger inspiration and always fun to use.
