Now we just need a cloaking device! :)

Its one of my favorites too, and I will make it so.

It should work out well too, since thrusters can be upgraded, which means I don't have to go rooting around for more thruster placement

LyfeForse, i know that u are busy, but this ships is my favorite and for RE2 an update will be amazing :)

Thank you Wild, its one of my favorites :)

so apparently your the only one who can make a good Klingon ship the inside looks as good as the outside i love this ship

thanks

Thank you dwyer. Klingon forms especially seem to be favorable to Empyrion's block selection. I have a few more Klingon ships planned, and am working on an SV fighter now

amazing work, just amazing. i cant believe im looking at empyrion when i look at your ships

Thanks Bigmike!

OK played with it and for me its a great mid game ship.... also great combat support ship too. I have to say its a nice build and very useful. kudos on it.

Ah ok, Thanks for the informative reply!

Thank you Razgaur. The wings were designed with carbon in mind to keep weight down, so as to not disrupt the performance too bad. In my playthrough last season, this left it in a position to where it could farm drone space at 40-50k shields, when using corkscrew tactic. Spinning it, it was agile enough to evade drone fighters, mitigate or eliminate nullifier turrets, and even solo a Corrupted Xen'uan Carrier at 40k shields. The addition to the farms/solar placement in the wings wasn't originally intended, but provided a nice feature for players who weren't likely to use it in such a combat capacity. If the player chooses to slot in a bastion though, this mitigates the need to use a corkscrew tactic to great extent

@LyfeForse Decided to see what this ship was like. Its very well designed! Although the bridge is not quite like the TV series. :P I do have a question, Why the carbon comp for the wings and not Steel or Hardened? My guess is you would be relying on shields big time. Though those shield ripper drones would be tricky. Anyway that's all I was wondering about. Nicely done!

Build has been updated:

The compartment wall between the bridge and the life support room has been reinforced. (Thanks Sandokhan for the suggestion)

Also replaced some of the clutter in front of the initial core's location with combat steel blocks, to provide an extra barrier. Further reinforced the blocks in any direction radiating out from the initial core's location. For those who prefer not to move the core, and rather keep a forward location, this should be a noticeable resistance increase to being cored.

Cut down on the block clutter for the "faux device" placeholder for the Shield Arrays above the hangar. Now should be less of a hassle removing so many blocks to place the devices.

Corrected the missing blocks at the forward wing expansion section, of the starboard side wing (Thanks Nektraal).

No mods, just a lot of time

omg how did you do that? did you use any mods? its crazy

There isn't a designated area per se. If you are worried about preserving the aesthetic, you could always place it inside one of the wings

is there a play to put a long range radar on it?

Thank you DCBenton

Awesome ship LyfeForse, it doesn't even look like it's made in Empyrion! :D

Thank you vitowns! @Vic all of the combat vids have expired sadly, as they were on twitch. I think I should start sending some to my YT.

As for placement inside the wing, it will work for the standard turrets, for forward firepower. Just keep in mind that the deeper you place them, the less of a forward depression/elevation those interior turrets will have. Start your placements from the center out, as closer to the centerline impacts roll less.

Cheers

Where can we see the streams of you fighting this? I built this recently and love it. I have 4 aux cores and am starting to add more turrets. I had to dirty up the wings a bit but it still looks cool. Do you have a turret mix that you recommend. Currently I am running 4 arty manual, 6 positron turrets, 3 Cruise missile, 1 Emp cruise missile, 4 colonial light missiles, 6 colonial bolters, 8 laser turrets, 4 sentinal flak.

If I put some of those turrets in the wings inside the slots you provided, will they still have LOS to their targets?

Love this ship. Easy to fight from the combat bridge. I park a mining SV on top. And it looks so cool.

Beautiful well done

I'll bite. So there's shields, then there's the front of the ship that's armored thick, and have decoys. The important components are reinforced with combat, i.e. the core room. The devices have been separated to mitigate against chain explosion, the perimiter of the ship is ellaborately surrounded by decoys, and the fuselage is steel. What's plastic is deco parts, and the wings, which is done to preserve flight characteristics. I have extensive flight time in the build, having personally used it to farm drone space, duel a Tovera, and even duel a Xen'uan carrier as a corkscrew build, only having 50k shields at the time, which was streamed live to an audience. With the alloted shields placed, and a Bastion used, you will be around 150k shields, which when paired with a full weapon loadout will kill anything

I do not understand why people use Carbon Composite blocks instead of combat blocks, that ship wont last 2 mins in a battle. SMH cool ship but not worth it

Thank you Monty for all your support man

Superb build. The time and effort you put into these builds is obvious. I'm happy to support you with my Patreon subscription. Keep up the good work.

I do build streams on my twitch -shown near top of page here-. As for the Deathwing in particular, I think that has already dropped off the saved library

so cool. do you have your design process anywhere? I would love to know how you do this.

Thank you Fractalite :)

Ah yeah, you are that crazy genius that made the Taurus LT. I do not normally go for the replicates but you did a nice job with this one.

Thank you Kamikaze! @Christ thanks, and also thanks for letting me know where you found it. Wasn't sure if it was getting any play in the EGS discord, but good to know it is

Nice and cweamy just how i like it! Awesome build!!

So Beautiful - and real presence - You make me look cool dang cool - we totally do not deserve it LyfeForse. Found where you put it - #bp_sharing_vanilla.

Thank you migthy duck, and Skraken :)

It's nice to see it do well on the workshop after appearing in Jrandall's showcase on his youtube channel. Yet again, a brilliant one in every case!

Ur design rocks! Keep up the greatness

Thank you Nexus! @Sandokhan You have valid points. The glass i'll leave in forward bridge though, as this bridge isn't intended to be used in combat, with that task being the command bridge in rear. Though as you pointed out, once the glass is punctured I dont think I have a considerable amount of defense to mitigate, however the enemy must thread the needle to disable the core. There are layers clutter along the way, which I will go over and upgrade to reinforce against that. A segment of the population prefers to have cores forward for intended failure, to protect the rest of the ship against loss, but I don't see why going forward I can't have a few designated locations for options of style. I'll work towards that on the build, as well as poke around for a secondary placement. Cheers

Shouldnt be that hard for Eleon Studios to give us some more textures. Windowtextures...have said enough...

Nice build. You really took care for the block placement and use of textures.
I however have one concern: If the shield is depleted the windows in the bridge will be destroyed asap. Right after that your core will be destroyed. That's because it is placed at the same line/level as the bridge and its exposed.
These windows can be replaced by a double row combat steel blocks and given a glowing, orange, texture for example. Finding a better place for your core will not be that hard either.

I understand a lot of Empyrion players are active in STO as well :)

Wow! This i s gorgeous! I love the video going over all the potential upgrades. I'm upgrading and doing slight tweaks for myself. Can't wait to fly this into battle!

Qapla' Logos

At last... A good looking Klingon Warship :-) The Empire would be proud :-)))) Awesome job, Sir :-)

Thank you Raktajino! @Mat lol. There might be some green interior devices left over from that stupid bug though

well done Lyfe! I'm tired of searching for texturing mishaps. I guess you did well :p
Honestly: 10 of 10. go on building great ships.

Wow, absolutely stunning... You've done a really beautiful project, i'm in awe and inspiration!

Thank you ravien! Thanks 765 :) @Alastria I have the shuttle mostly done, and after that the battlecruiser will be a good while later

Looking forward to all your upcoming creations, especially the shuttle and battle cruiser!

nice design

Yeah that's right, you better keep that "Captain" under heavy quotation marks...
