Thx

I love this ship! Does it have any compatible SV's to go with it?

One of my favourites. It really has all you need. Unless you're looking to haul a large fleet around or are looking to do some pretty intense ship combat, not sure why you'd need anything bigger.

This is by far one of the best SV's I've seen for this size. It has all I am looking for in an upgrade from the awesome starter wayfarer. Thank you for sharing your awesome gift.

Thank you Idle_Groot and Lucian!

Great workshops! Been using the Merc MX5E foe a while. Like the looks of this one too, and the rest. great jobs.

It's not too bad of a conversion. I did Kydex in 12-16hrs, Nomad XT in about the same. The time consuming part is trying to get back the shapes and textures that the Mast Builder, JRandal uses. I'm still tweaking out interiors and exterior's, but the conversion is complete. I even abandoned my Goto Girl, Cat, and am now using Kydex in Reforged Eden exclusively (so far). But my Nomad XT build keeps calling to me too.

Thank you Idle_Groot and mcdonald77! @mcdonald77, To get this be RE happy I could not say exactly. It will need the extra RE CPU cores added and could need more power generators. I would have to look thou. I hope it doesn't need quantum cores. And thanks again all!

Is there a Reforged version? What is involved in updating them? The Wayfarer ST has been my go to starter for a long time.

I used the Wayfarer a few times, as well as the Nomad ST.
Maybe I'll "reforge" Wayfarer next... That may prove to be more useful than my "Toothless" CV.

Thank you Idle_Groot! The Nomad-XT is really dated at this point and I could see it needing a fair amount of work to get it happy in RE or even Vanilla. More or less I made another still old now but newer human starter SV, the Wayfarer-ST to sort of replace the Nomad but it is not exactly the same. And thank you again!

Hi Jeff,
I love this ship.
I just ReForged it, so it's compatible with Reforged Eden.
My buddy says it's pretty good and pushed me to get you to check it out, so here I am.
I also ReForged your Nomad-XT, which my buddy uses.
Both versions keep the exterior almost fully intact, but the interiors had to be entirely revamped to accommodate larger engines. Nomad has no interior paint, but the framing is done.
If you're interested in these, let me know and I'll shoot them your way.
Thank You for such awesome and inspiring builds.
I Am Groot.

Thank you Boomer!

Yeah this ended up being my go to CV. does everything I want. :)

Thank you all! :)

Dear Mr. Randall, I love this ship. This is the 3rd Randall design in my fleet, My asteria destroyer had to be moth balled due to a weight snafu. When i restart in reforged then i will dust it off for combat. keep up the great work, i know its not easy

Been using this CV for a while and was looking for another but can't seem to let this one go. It's still my favorite one. Once I'm able to build this, it's all downhill from there.

@JamieRogue, I hover about 2 feet over the repair platform then use jet pack to exit the ship and move to the repair console.

I love this design @jrandall! Great work again.

Thank you Kula808!

Kool remodel. You cant go wrong with a Randallfied Xcal Cv

Thank you Darkpaw, JamieRouge, Jman, and tatmanblue!

This is amazing build. Very efficient use of space. Lots crammed into a useful design.

This thing is amazing! But I am having a cosmetic issue with coloring. I dont see the custom option in the color tool.

Can't use this on a repair pad, something is hanging down though I can't see what I can only assume its one of the turrets.

jrandall, there are a lot of carbon blocks in the nose cone that surrounds the warp drive. In fact all the pilot and passengers are sitting on thin carbon blocks. All you need to do is upgrade that to combat steel to make it solid. I love the ship as a path to the Skaar Raider but it did require me to upgrade a lot of the weak points.

Thank you Smythe9!

def works VV. i like it.

Thank you very much Forjo, Smythe9, Duckwell, and VV! @VV, I will take a look. Thanks!

I have made a modded version with a re-located warp drive for those having issues:

Great ship. Love your builds Mr Randall.

Easily one of the best ships in this size class, great stuff!

great ship. love the look, only issue i had was in a small battle and no visible damage, all of a sudden warp drive gone. i have to reinforce front area of warp drive so doesnt happen again.
other then that no complaints.
Great Job Randall

Love this ship -- very much fits my aesthetic. Added a scanner on top of the wireless controller, and I'm looking for an elegant way to place harvesting -- might just plot a box down in the hangar and temporarily bolt on a drill or turret. Would love to see a revision if for no other reason than the warp drive issue h3Lt0R mentioned.

Thanks for the great job!

Thank you h3Lt0R. It sounds like it could use a coat of armored blocks over the area to be safer. Someday I may do a revision to it. Thanks for the info and thanks again!

I'm slowly loving this ship but I keep running into this little issue. If I take the slightest damage to the nose with the shields down, the warp drive will blow up.

There will be very minimal damage to the blocks, none destroyed, nothing a quick EVA cant fix to get the dents out...... but I'll have to build a new drive every fight if I'm not real careful.

lol! Thanks FluffyLlama! :)

you took one of my favourite XCal ships and made it even better! Nice work Mr Randall! Now just need to convince XCal to return the favour and update your Hecatae for A12 :D

Thank you Camelman912 and Téssa! :) @Camelman912, the med station acts as a clone chamber (Unless that changed in A12?). So you don't need the clone chamber of you have the med station. @Téssa, That is a good plan to save some power. Thanks. And thanks again all!

The hotspot seems to be fixed now in 12.6.2 2938 ... just letting you know

My new CV (old was Pioneer). And this is so ducking amazing! A lot of cargo. Thrusters work perfectly! And A LOT of turrets! Think this hold end game very well. My only sugest is creat new groups for L Thrusters (forward and up) to save a lot of energy. Im using them for emergency fly and heavy cargo fly on planets. Big thanks for another amazing share!

@jrandall... if I may make a suggestion... the ship is missing a clone chamber... I added one by stacking the O2 and Medic Chambers... then putting the clone chamber next to them... probably not the prettiest change... but it works...

also.. I found another hot spot... after leveling off to make sure (pressing "o", obviously), if you stand at the wall by Medical Bay 3 (I think) you get heat there from the core... don't know if anything can be done about that

Thank you very much Viff!

Il est magnifique ce vaisseau ! Très bon travail ! J'adore !

Thank you luvmyfamof4, Camelman912 and majortom360! I looked at the ship, didn't see the problem. Checked all hot parts wasn't seeing the issue. Well, that explains it. In my test I just spawned it but didn't fly it to change the rotation. Thanks for the info! And thanks again all!

I think it was just fixed in today 12.6 release... From: https://empyriononline.com/threads/alpha-12-experimental-phase-6.93786/ ... Fixed: Thruster heat & radiation zone misplaced when vessel is rotated

actually, it didn't completely fix the issue\

@majortom & @jrandall... I love the ship, and I figured out what the problem was.... the floor of the main bridge was made of Carbon Composite... so that was all that was separating the Warp Core and the Main Bridge... I'm sure it was simply an oversight. I've replaced the offending blocks with Combat Steel (about 20). Other than that, the ship is awesome.

@luvmyfamof4 - Funny I'm not experiencing this radiation issue @luvmyfamof4. And Jeff is a better architect than you, good designers don't slam the artist for their own sadistic pleasure, so build your own ship if you can. I doubt it. Not much 'Luv" is there now.

I'm encountering the same radiation issue on the main bridge.

Radiation is a real issue on this ship. On the upper bridge, full armor with rad protection, you still get sick.
I'm not sure why you used 2 small constructors when you also have one advanced. You have the room for 3 advanced. It's a nice ship. I like it a lot but it has some design flaws.

Thank you very much majortom360! :)
