Thanks! Don't have a dedicated video for it, but you can sorta see it here:

Awesome Job! My favorite ship for sure.
But I can't figure out how to dock the Monolith to it. I tried for at least an hour and couldn't do it lol.
I can't find where the landing gear goes either. Could you make a video or a short tutorial on here?
Either way would be nice. Thanks for the hard work dude!

Awesome @Ente Thanks for the conversion! Looking forward to the next build.

RE2 Version available now, I added a link. It is unlisted as its just a minor conversion and not a new build.

@Ente What wonderful news

Yeah already have a half done conversion of it for RE2. May be a week or two until I get around to completing it though.

@Ente, Is there a possibility for you to update this CV for RE2? I would like to use it with Armageddon.

This is more of the RE1 CV you get to carry your CV's so they can unlink from the nightfall and carry out sub missions, like the Weasel or the Warp Shard

@The Colonel: No idea, don't know HWS. You'll have to ask the HWS guys.

Hi Ente! Does this work on HWS? I tried to spawn this in on HWS NA but when it finished it said that the blueprint was missing/deleted :C

Getting strong Bentusi vibes

Thanks sir! :)
Not a PVP guy, so I am afraid thats not my cup of tea there.

Ive been trying 3 of your ships so far and its amazing work mate, Thanks a lot a keep it up.

If you like you should check our PVP server : Project Eden PVP ;)

An der Monolith. An der Oberseite, am besten ganz oben an der Hülle direkt hinter den Artillerie-Türmen.

Soll ich an die Monolith die lande Füße anbringen oder an die Nightfall? und wo genau?

There is the H1 Lifter, https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2719216045
No plans currently to build a bigger heavy lifter for the combo. I am a bit demotivated concerning heavy lifters, as there are so few cases where they are actually useful.

Ente, Do you have any plans of making a heavy lifter mining CV that will work with the nightfall/monolith setup?

Nope, haven't tried and won't, as it would cause the ship to run over the size class limit I want to keep to.

Has anyone or you tried to close it up and have hanger doors and such?

@PapaPwn3d: The big bays at the sides are for the various shield upgrades. The big ones for the arrays, the smaller ones for the medium shield upgrades. Note the upgrades are really optional, if you use the ship as a pure carrier they are not needed and will only cause you to use more fuel.

loving this carrier so far! is there any documentation on where the upgrades are at? i found the F (im guessing is for fusion core) and placed the item but on the opposite side there are 3 bays and not sure what goes there. no marker either

@ergos I had a similar problem when I first got empyrion and to get it fixed I had to uninstall the anit-cheat and reinstall it manually, because for whatever reason the EAC (easy anti-cheat) caused either empyrion to crash or pc to bluescreen hope that helps not sure if it will

If you are on the experimental branch then that will most likely be the reason for the crash. RE has not been updated yet for it.

hello @Ente the truth is that I have the latest drivers, I checked the integrity of the files, I unsubscribed I went back to check the files and subscribed again but... it keeps closing the game it could be the RC update and the previous experimental ones, but even so, thank you very much for trying to help. I will continue to subscribe and I will try to see if it is solved with the new updates.Greetings and continue creating those great CVs

@Novoca1n3: Added a screenshot for the gear on the monolith

@Ergos: Well that sucks. Some general advise: You can try to verify you files via steam. If that doesn't help you can try updating your graphics card drivers and lowering graphics settings. Sometimes crashes are caused by overheating graphics cards and CPUs. Lastly Empyrion is very sensitive when it comes to erroneous RAM. Try running a RAM check to see whether you have errors in your RAM.

i like this c.v but the game crashes at spawning

So I'm not very good at building stuff so was wondering if you could please upload a photo of where to place the landing gear on a Monolith.

Oh wow, thank you for your kind words! :)

“And Alexander wept, as he had no more worlds to conquer.”

This is a masterpiece. Truly. An incredible work of functional art. I have loved so many of your builds but this one is just beyond. Thank you.

Thanks Jhoosier! And nice Video series you're doing there :D

OMG I'm in love. Been using the Solar Explorer for my current game and it's been getting tight in there. Now I can fit my construction modules in the hangar and the combat CV won't look quite as silly riding on top.

Thanks Nash-Galactic and jackamc18! :)

Okay... I am a collector of huge carriers, but I've never seen a hangar design like this! This is super awesome! It kinda looks like the Eclipse...

Hey thats a very cool build there.

@AricDarkcloud: Don't know starbound, so no.

@Lost Gamer: Thanks! Will do. ;)

@Ente - thank you for your reply. This was my worry if I removed CPU then the challenge of pushing towards getting the higher level cores would be removed and I assumed this was a big part of the 'late game'.

I have done a little reading for aux cores and have managed to find a hell planet, so I am going to try and kill some harvesters on the planet (I have an upgraded Raven) to try and get my first couple of cores. I feel like this is going to be the biggest grind to open up some more of the space combat possibilities. I tried taking on a dread for a quantum core, I died spectacularly :D

Please do continue to make these spectacular ships, I look forward to your future creations.

nightfall like from starbound??

I would never play without CPU. CPU upgrades in RE are the single most important late game item for you to work towards. If you remove those, you basically remove 90% of the game.

If you are new to RE the hurdle you are facing is probably not knowing how to get the upgrades. To get you started, best have a look at the ingame pda/empyriopedia and the build requirements for aux cores in the tech tree. That should already answer many questions. If you decide to attack drone space sectors (which would be one possible step towards aux. cores), be very careful if you use the monolith. If you never fought drones before, I would even recommend a different ship with a good armor tank. The Ayamara might work, but not sure, don't really know that ship. It is a lot easier to fight drone nullifiers on armor, then with a shield fighter, at least at the start.

Welcome to RE. Prepare to die. ;)

@Ente - I just managed to spawn in the Monolith and this after farming for the day to get the last of the bits I needed. I added 4 landing gear to the top of the Monolith and docked it to the rear of and all I can say is WOW.

The fact it sits there so seamlessly, the body lines of both ships work so well together and it just looks phenomenal!

You are a genius sir - my steam award hardly seems enough to reward you for such fantastic work.

I only wish you could leave the engines on and have them boost the Nightfall.

What is your opinion of playing with/without CPU? I feel like this is currently my biggest hurdle moving forward, but I don't want to turn it off if its going to ruin my gameplay.

Thanks guys! Glad you like it! :)

Love this design. I started a RE play though for the first time a couple of weeks ago and have been slowly progressing through your builds as I learn and explore the game.

I was almost finished farming all the materials for the Achilles but I think I will switch to this, then work on the Monolith (I have been using an Ayamara LS for combat at the moment).

Amazing work as always, so impressive, keep up the good work!

Great ship I have one on the Anvil server planning on bringing in the monolith as well.. Keep up the great work..

Beautiful. Nice new take on fleet carrier.

Really nice looking ship. Makes one wish there were player factions large enough to crew and defend the ship, or perhaps a senerio where there are no planets left, only debris fields and mother ships like this are your home planet (see nomad). Of course players would need ships to be set to automate, so that support ships can react to being attacked and wolf pack a lone attacker or small groups of NPCs.

That is what I did, thank you. Only issue is that on planets it might get complicated, but well....OK

Thanks ぴょんぴょん and SGT Roc/K/, again! ;)

@Myrmidon: Yes you need to add landing gear on top. See also the description. And yeah I do use the antenna decos to get over. More often however I just jetpack around in space. Its not a perfect RP-friendly solution, but works.

I suppose monolith needs two extra landing gears on-top to dock on her.And the only reasonable docking position is the one having Nightfall's rear armored door on cross-hairs while docking. The player exits monolith moving to Nightfall via one of the deep space antenna decos.

Cool, I missed the screen shot. Great idea!

Love this line of ships you do - and I absolutely love the black hue they have with the blue glowy accents. Love it!

Also, Five Backward made me chuckle

Thx SGT Roc/K/! Yes the rear Area can dock one of my 'Monolith' CVs. See the according screenshot.
