I am curious to see this, I have a rework I did of this ship. Its probably 20-30% larger and I copied some elements from the Resolute.... Was gonna ask about posting it when I get some more work/testing dont with it.

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing it :)

DeVo665, I'm working on it XD I'm calling it the Defiance. The exterior is done. But the interior is still a WIP.

Any update on RE2 version?

Fair enough, I excitedly await to see the new new!

BloodAngel099 so I would like to create a new version of the Endurance for RE2. I have a few other RE2 builds I want to complete first though.

Have you decided if your going to do a RE2 version of this ship? I have messed around with many other ships but always end up just coming back to this one. Definitely a favorite, though I personally call her the Defiant... She's a fine little ship!

Tyvm for the response! Ravien on Discord had not given ANY date yet for the start of RE2 aside from 'in the future' lol.

I have the ship design skill of a rock on mushrooms. Hopefully you can manage some upgrades to get that incredible CV a lot more shields. And keeping in mind when we disable block limits, we can pile in more QCs.

Spaghettioz glad to hear you like the ship! I'm thinking about building a mark 2 version of the Endurance. What I'm debating is whether it will be for RE1 or RE2 at the moment.

I looove this design. But perhaps is there any way you could make an upgraded version to handle all the shield components already AND at least one of each Shield Arrays? That would make this appropriately expensive, and extremely competitive in RE.

A lot to ask, I know. But, hoping you can rise to the occasion for us nerds :D

corruptwing, thanks!

Before this build I was just putting all the shield boosters in the hanger. Nice work turning the Endurance into a dedicated warship!

@Dadrick thanks

websterhamster it's built to fight the Legacy ships stock.

Without upgrades, what is this ship really meant to handle? It's stock shields leave much to be desired.

@Dadrick Yes I sub'd your Resolute even gave it a thumbs up, It is well built!.... I'm just on the fence about it. I'm not sure why it is yet. :)

Plenty. If you're looking for a bigger combat CV that has a fusion reactor, you could check out my Resolute.

@Dadrick ok thanks for the response! Any future RE builds in the works? :)

Razgaur, no this ship uses 4 Advanced generators when fully kitted out. No space for a fusion reactor unfortunately.

@Dadrick, Is there room for any fusion reactors? I wanted to load this ship up and use it as a new main in RE, but not sure if it takes any reactors.

Cbrfomhell, there is an unmarked space in the large bay. You can fit 4 T1 capacitors and 2 T1 chargers there.

Love this ship, I do have a question in regards to shield placement. On the left side of the ship you have spots labeled for all 6 of the T2 shield components but where do the T1 upgrades go?

DarkUncle it may be another month yet. I've got a few other builds on the go for the server I play on at the moment.

Just out of curiosity, do you have any rough sort of ETA on the cruiser? Not looking to rush you or lock you into a timeline, just curious if we're talking a couple of weeks or months, etc.

Awesome. Love your work so much, really looking forward to it. Already started farming drone cores to get it upgraded once it drops. :)

DarkUncle, I appreciate the offer but I think I'm okay. Regarding the fixed guns, I've already got that covered. This ship has fixed weapons made to look like battleship cannons and they're arranged in super firing position.

Oh yeah, one "request" for the cruiser? Make at least some of the fixed gun hard points close to each other H/W wise, but offset by several blocks D wise (aids penetration with art, as the "leading" shells in a volley explode before the "trailing" shells impact, clearing the way to go deeper - at least that is the theory I've had pitched at me multiple times)

Awesome!

Let me know if you want a second pair of eyes/hands to give it a once over at any stage - would be happy to provide any QA / feedback, if such would be helpful. Otherwise I'll just cheer you on and wait!

DarkUncle, glad to hear it! There is a cruiser in the works. The outside hull is finished, I'm just working on the interior.

Love love love this ship!

Any plans for a larger dreadnought version of this ship? Have long wanted a good looking ship with room to max fusion+shields, tons of weapon placements, but without the bulk of being a carrier - just a pure combat vessel!

Glad you like the ship Paddy!

Invictus_66 that's really difficult for me to answer without seeing what you've been doing. I'd recommend adding some extra shield capacitors and chargers.

Suprcharg, there's an excellent guide on youtube by Movado about how to fight legacy ships. One trick you can use to bring the shields down is to park your ship in front of the Infector's nose. There's a dead spot there that lets you shoot the Infector without taking any fire back.

But, you're right about ship not being up to fighting legacy ATM. I'm not entirely sure what's changed. I know that the positron guns were nerfed recently. Especially the positron cannons, they used to have almost no reload time. I'm going to have to experiment with the ship to find a better weapon's loadout. In the meantime, you could try hunting drones for drone parts to build an aux core. With a bit more CPU you'll have more options.

I was real excited about bringing this guy in but, "more than a match for the Legacy"? I just tried to take on a Legacy infector so I can get some quantums and he beat the piss out of me. I mean, like I have nowhere near enough firepower to do much damage to those shields. I just play solo normal. Do you have any tips? Vids?

I am having issues with xero space POIs with a vanilla ship. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Well then as is i love it but i did shove 4x double chargers and capacitors in it :-)

Thanks bOOds & icewolfen!

Paddy, this ship is meant to be a mid to late game ship. I'm working on a bigger end game ship that does incorporate the fusion reactor and T3 shield components.

No space for extra shields arrays or bigger gens or fusion reactor otherwise I love it

Cool design!

Needs wireless in the front of the ship and in the wings. Was frustrating not having any wireless when raiding a POI last night.

Thankls Havoc & Craig Diamond!

froal, that's a good suggestion. Thanks!

[RTS]CHAOSKING not out of the box. But with upgrades you definitely can kill a dreadnought.

looks cool, but it can't destroy an enemy dreadnought

these are professional designs by yours! i'm impressed. keep the good work gooing and thank you very much!

Great Work Dadrick, I have changed the position of the long range radar to use the place for sv docking

One thing I did in the previous version that looks like it could be valuable. Here is to add a Wi-Fi block in the nose. I pulled out and combat steel block in the tip of the nose and put in a Wi-Fi block then covered it with a combat steel block. That gave me good coverage anywhere. I went near the ship

Amazing

Thanks guys!

I use your older variant. Looking forward to checking this one out.

I did one modification that is out of the ordinary. The top of the Endurance has a bridge. That entire top section looks like a small CV, so I made it into a separate CV. I removed the entire upper bridge and replaced it with a small CV that looks exactly the same. When docked, the elevator lines up and you go straight from the main ship into the small CV without going outside. The small CV has a 320k container and When looting a POI that is too large for WiFi to reach, I can detach the top and fly it to the other side of the POI or land it in the courtyard.

The Endurance is one of my favorite ships. Thank you.

extreme!

Very nice!

Thanks for the reply Dadrick. Gonna try this after I farm more mats

Looks awesome !
