Does anyone have an updated version for RE2?

@Mart74 I personally just covered the bottom with most of them. You can also add more to the sides once it is docked in a Helios-sized bay, though you shouldn't try to undock it with them still attached.

Is there any possibility of you making a version for RE2? I always use this module in RE1 and really want it for my first RE2 play-through. PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE?

functionality wise is great, the way it flies to dock due to the seat is a PITA. spent the past hour trying to dock it due to this

Spectacular job on this module. Love everything about the interior, especially the maintenance access areas. First one isn't even fully setup, and I'm already planning a second.

I absolutely love this module. I can collect as I jetpack under the bays at full speed without ever slowing down. It makes collecting everything SO QUICK! Just keep the bays right above your head and you usually don't even have to look up to grab them. Then just scoot scoot scoot and DONE. I'll fill up a whole one of these with pent bays for late game and then I never have to worry about stopping at my autominers.

@fulGriM^ I'm not sure why it won't dock for you. I just tested in creative and it still fits and docks fine. A few things to check:
1) Is the module the same faction as the carrier? I assume it is if it docked correctly in the rear bay.
2) Did you remove all the ladders and the LCD from the front? Those may be interfering if they were left on.
3) Since the piloting position is awkward you might not have been fully up against the wall of the side module bay. Try aiming a little under (well, "left" with the rotated view) and see if you can get closer, then thrust right to push up against the top deck of the Helios.

Module was updated with new Reforged solar panels. They provide passive (free and constant) power generation. I was able to squeeze enough panels in to power the hydroponics bays and fridges, but running anything else will consume fuel. If you leave the gravity generator on auto the whole ship will consume 3 watts while you harvest.

Thank you for the response.

@Myrmidon Solar on these modules is a little finicky. The main thing I noticed was that if you docked a ship on the Helios flight deck where it was parked on top of any module with solar panels, the docked ship could block the panels undreneath it from charging. I tended to re-arrange the ships on my flight deck so that this module and the production module had no ships parked above them. But yes, if you're constantly having to undock the ship because of your setup then this module will be very annoying to use. You could try Allessia's Helios Garden Module RF (linked above) which is easier to pilot, but it has the same solar configuration so would suffer the same problem.

Two other options: a) Remove the solar panels and construct an array on the back of the module so that it sticks out from the side of the flight deck, or b) remove the panels and fill those spots with fuel tanks instead.

There is no need to build this ship in the way you build her. It is PITA to use. She needs to be undocked often for the solar capacitors to charge. Otherwise the player needs to dock her either on the top deck of a carrier (i.e.Helios) or at the side. Which is not good.

Thanks folks! Allessia, I do appreciate the shell. Love the way your modules integrate with the side of the Helios.

i like what you did with it.
