Question: Is there room to add more turrets, weapons, or CV mining lasers?

Thank you very much in advance!

Equilibrior, unfortunately that's a limitation of the game. I wish it wasn't so.

Is there any workaround to this Docking limitations:
"You can only dock ONE layer down, meaning any number of vessels can dock to something (say, a carrier), but they themselves cannot have vessels docked to them. "

I like the ship so far and think would use it later as a sort of landing shuttle for HV's. But that is impossible with this limitation as far as i understand the system.(still relatively new to this game)
For me it seems i need to undock the ARGO from my Carrier. load the HV's, get in the ARGO and fly to the landing spot.

Arturcis, that sound is probably the plasma turbines. My understanding is that if you've changed your sound settings from default, these custom sounds can get messed up and become too loud.

Wanted to try this for my first CV but what is that atrocious sound when powered on? Like a high pitch whining. I wanna try this one because I see the high utility it offers but that whining sound when powered up is horrible.

pmota, Buk1973, bash, Grenny. Glad to hear you guys are getting so much use out of this ship!

The value of this CV is immense. Not only do you get so much functionality for the price, it's also tiny for what you're getting. This is my first CV I build everytime now, and I can't see that changing soon. It's even the first CV for my faction members too. May have to change our name to the Argos.

For how cheap this is, it's surprisingly capable ship.And looks good, too.

Excellent starter CV to get you into space cheaply but with all the amenities.

My favourite starter CV - by far! First I use a Auger SV for mining but ofc cargo is limited. So I just take it docked on the Argo and then mine way more effectively (transfering cargo from SV to CV). It's a smooth and effective "upgrade path". Then in no time at all I was able to move to a Pallas miner (replacing industrial drills with lasers) all thanks to the low cost Argo!

Thanks guys! I appreciate the kind comments!

Forget about this just being a starter, this is just a great heavy lifter for any point of the game. I use the Argo still at this point to head down and collect resources from the auto-miners on a 4.0 G world and it works beautifully. It has shields to protect it from drone fire, a turret to deal with said drones, sentry guns to deal with the tons of infected on the the planet, and plenty of lift to bring up the auto-miner resources.

Thanks for the great starter ship! It really helped me out. :steamthumbsup::steamhappy:

So where is the RE2 compatible CV/Carrier that you have pictured to lug this around underneath :)
Vidjahgames 26 Jul, 2024 @ 7:26am 
This has been one of my favorite ships!

It's highly functional and the perfect landing craft for exploring POIs and dropping in your HVs. Even after upgrading my CV, I prefer the ARGO for landing planet side. Nice work on this one!
Praetorian 20 Jul, 2024 @ 10:16am 
Works like a charm. I'm pretty new to the game and haven't had any issues. Thank you.

Now this is a Starter! Gets U off and running. Moves your Stuff. Nice block and texture work. Kinda reminds me of an old 5.5ish Logic demonstrator cv

Thanks TS22, ACEighty7, and Potato!
Potato 7 Jul, 2024 @ 5:49pm 
Oh damn, this looks a lot to me like an Elephant from Halo, but on repulsors. I dig it
ACEighty7 6 Jul, 2024 @ 4:28pm 
Nice! I had to do a double take. I thought it was a little base for a second. I suppose you could use it as one.
TS22 5 Jul, 2024 @ 8:04pm 
Love it! Sharp looking and highly functional!
Dadrick  [author] 5 Jul, 2024 @ 4:13am 
There are actually 3 vessels shown here. There's the Panther HV, the Runabout SV, and the Lynx HV. I haven't released the Lynx yet.
starr274 4 Jul, 2024 @ 11:41pm 
Ones the Runabout SV, and the other is likely a light tank HV
ŁōãF 4 Jul, 2024 @ 1:29pm 
Awesome!

What are the 2 HV's youre using?
Dadrick  [author] 4 Jul, 2024 @ 9:14am 
Thanks all, much appreciated!
Bonedog 4 Jul, 2024 @ 7:47am 
Nice! I tried something like this once, failed miserably lol.
filbertfarmer 4 Jul, 2024 @ 6:57am 
Awesome build Dadrick!
Ktowai 4 Jul, 2024 @ 5:51am 
Hmmmm interesting
Nirakaa 4 Jul, 2024 @ 4:13am 
A very neat ship, with an Ironclade taste ;) Hope you'll be able to make a bigger version ;)
Ente 3 Jul, 2024 @ 3:05pm 
Really cool idea! And such a nice design, too!
Spacebarbarian 3 Jul, 2024 @ 12:57pm 
Nice design! I'm outfitting one with forcefields for a shirtsleeves environment on the cargo deck.
