Thank you all! I am really behind on comments but just noticed a problem on this one with the cockpit in comments. I am not sure if I should change the BP to fix it or see if this bug gets fixed. This has happened on various creations many times before. I will spawn the ship and see how it is behaving now and what it would take to make it work correctly. And thanks again all for the great comments and heads up on the issue :)

Having a blast with this ship in RE mate. Wonderful job

Same issue with exiting the Cockpit. You get stuck in the top block to the left of the window.

So, I rebuilt/replaced those top 3 (4) blocks with windows.

I logged a bug. Based on the discussion, seems related to a recent update to the cockpits.

Same problem since latest patch, while in survival or creative mode I kicked outside the ship on this and some other creations as well.

Since the latest hotfix, when exiting pilot seat, I now find myself outside the ship. Used to be I'd exit standing just behind the seat. Anyone else getting this behavior?

i tried this out but find that i get absolutely shredded near pois. even my cv will get shredded, RE, seems like npc pois have mega shields that regen in seconds
edit: still a great design, but i do get stuck when leaving seat, also putting in a better shield kills the generators, any suggestions?

Update for RE1.7 Shield boosters?

This has been my go to Early/Mid game SV on my most recent playthrough. Can anyone suggest a CV with a hanger just big enough for her? She just about fits in Spanj's Pioneer which I usually use as my first CV but it's a tight squeeze. Any other recommendations appreciated

Thank you Michael Ian Hammond eco, and horkage!

Now that's a pretty bird.

Lovely ship very well designed, it has potential of a real craft that would be able to get in to space

Its a interesting idea, thanks for all your hard work jrandall, i really like your builds.

Thank you keeelU, FallenShadow, Roland T. Gunner, and FallenShadow! As in the drone hatch, not sure if people actually use a drone by jumping up and deploying it. Could be quicker way in and out too. Not really needed for much thou. And thanks again all!

Ah i see, thanks for the explanation.

You know the little drone that you can deploy by pressing F4 (or F5 I can't remember) its for that when you don't have a drill ship. That being said its kinda redundant now since SV can use drill bits now unless you're trying to get Exp. points.

Regardless great build as always, really enjoy using your ships.... and taking them apart to see how they tick lol.

Whats the drone hatch? Am i missing something obvious here?

P.s. I'm one of those suckers that spends the extra hour of farming to look good in a jrandall build. I do love the internal cockpit design. Not sure why the other cockpits do not eject the player out the back I think your other designs would be 100 times more useful with that feature. If you could elect which direction your toon was unseated from.

Thank you El Perezidente and keeelU!

unless you want to show off or need a bit more speed at that cost build a capital ;)

Really good detailing as always JR! You sir are a legend. o7

Thank you lyken4, Christ Catnap, bad coffee, and Hutch! :)

When you think about it the cargo, ammo and ore & wood controllers all are the same they can also be used to hold cargo. a fighter with a 10k or 15k can also hold lots of cargo. If your are doing a cargo run you don't need as much ammo. When you do go into battle you can fill up with more ammo which makes a fighter with a large ammo/cargo hold the ideal fighter salvaging vessel. The Aurora-ITF is a awesome build for this stage of EGS and well suited. Well Done

Very nice looking ship!

On the ammo controller thing - the one disadvantage of having a single combined ammo controller is it has less slots for items than cargo controllers do. You do some looting and it's quite easy for the ammo controller to end up full despite having plenty of volume left.

It is only through the Experienced that one can get Experience.

You - jrandall - have allowed me to make a leap forward in design fundamentals; because that is where I am at.

All the Best!

Awesome little ship sirr! 👍👍

Thank you very much Dadrick, Myrmidon, Yunaleska_Kurryku, dpburke2, and urialia! @Myrmidon, good point. I guess I have always tried to have both storage controllers on past SV's but combining them all to ammo is not a bad idea and makes sense. I will consider that on future similar creations. And thanks again all!

wow nice cockpit shaping!

Looks great. Love the interior.

Great job!

ouuuuuhhhhh sexy ship.. MINE!!!!!!!
hehe

Another creation worth of and our gratitude. One question though : On vessels with limited/small cargo capacity why not go for an ammo container and merge the two (or more) small cargo controller groups to one ammo? This way the player would have the ability to dynamically manage the space for both ammo and cargo...

Beautiful ship!
