Great to hear & good feedback! It’s always interesting to hear how others modify the ships to fit their needs.

One note you made about decoys and having multiple turrets. There is one turret decoy and one manual weapon decoy. The reason those both exist is because they are separate targeting groups. So if you only have one, you’re bound to get enemies targeting your real weapons of the others.

Enjoy!

(1/2) Lyssa is my all-rounder for playing on the HWS server with a few changes. Instead of 2 small reactors I put 1 large one, to take advantage of +500 shield charge; this was not easy, but I managed it. Between both sets of engines, just behind the small turrets, I put a large area to include several large cargo containers. Lots of them. With the 2x2 engines upgraded to antimatter and at 3/4 charge, the ship moves with surprising ease and turns quickly. I had in mind to redesign the engine area to fit the 3x6x3 Drives, but they are not needed. Inside the nose there are two small turrets that will be there to draw enemy fire, but wouldn't just one be enough? On the other hand, the most expensive part of the ship is, without a doubt, the 10 laser turrets because of the diamonds they require. Another change I made was to the cockpit, for better vision, and a Tool Turret on the nose (retractable) to mine asteroids.

(2/2) As for weapons, I usually carry small laser turrets of all kinds and medium ones, mostly to destroy shields, as they work very well against POIs on planets, including Legacy ones. 4 Heavy Plasmas (my favorite weapon) and 4 Cruise Missiles complete the arsenal.
For repairs I use a small CB (Repair Kit) and for mining on planets a small and practical SV.
And I don't need anything else to be able to do anything.
Thank you very much for the ship, for the new version and for the "new" core17 that I'm looking forward to seeing.

Fists of Lyssa 6000 is now available! This is the core 17, and fully upgraded version:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3432238981

Fists of Lyssa has been updated today. I have removed the Medium Plasma Cannons and replaced them with 20 Light Plasma Cannons. With the left over CPU, I added 2 Plasma Thrusters for increased side thrust. The mediums were removed to reduce initial spawn cost.

With these changes there is left over CPU for you to upgrade as you acquire the parts.

Abandoned POI’s on planets. Each one will give you about 2

hey folks. how do you get these legacy parts?

Thanks

Yes. 2 smalls is sufficient. Almost certain you only need one small and one advanced gen, if you want to save some CPU.

so is the plan for 2 small fusions I could not quite seem to shoehorn in large ?

I’ve considered publishing one, but the CPU values keep changing, along with the weapons. I’m also on a break from Empyrion, but maybe in the future. You will be able to max every weapon & shield group with the new CPU available. The weapon types you’ll use probably vary based on your style and the enemy faced.

Any chance you could add the fully decked out version to the workshop ?

ty man for your video

I’m doing a play through right now & spawned this ship. They are working as intended, shooting straight forward. So I’m not quite sure why you would be seeing otherwise.

Didn't upgrade them, maybe they changed the model, when doing a lot of movement they will fire because you're not always pointing directly at target especially a huge one like a Tovera, but when coming straight at a Drone POI trying to pick off turrets with guns the lasers weren't firing till I rotated them. They look like they should do a 180 degree elevation change but would only do 45 when controlled manually. Loving the ship tearing up drone space without losing a single block have 4 auxiliary's in 2 days playtime. I wonder if it is a bug because they look physically like they were designed to elevate 180 degrees. Would like to know if you can elevate them manually 180 on yours now.

Did you upgrade them to mediums? The light modulated turrets design works better when placed vertical, like this ship does. The mediums use a different model which would act as you described.

Found the modulated turrets only fired at my target if I was nosed down 45 degrees, tried in manual sure enough the turrets could only elevate 45 degrees, had to remove them and replace so they were parallel to the ship so I could fire my manuals and lasers at the same time.

yeah it was my bad =/ I found the EMP turrets thx for the reply!!

Great to hear & thanks for the feedback!

I do believe EMP’s are still in the game, and found in the cruise missile group. They are not a standalone turret.

LOVED the Soul Crusher and so far this Ship is up there too! A question, in your video when you had this ship maxxed out, you had EMP turrets, well I think they took them out for CV's =( What Would you recommend in there place??

Fists of Lyssa has been upgraded!

New "Brass Knuckles" added to each fist, to significantly increase the amount of damage they can absorb

The D…Deck has been lengthened to also increase the amount of damage absorbed

Lag shot armor has been added in the fists and nose…just in case

Additional weapon placements added – both turret & manual weapons

2 additional Medium Plasma Cannons added – now contains 14

Yeah, I haven’t been playing at all recently, but if I come back, I plan to add more armor to the front. Make the fists bigger and extend the nose. It has plenty thrust, so it could easily handle more armor.

Tho with the new weapons they do alot more hull dmg so facing the harder legacy ships the armor might be lacking in places. Those plasma torps hurt like hell and they track toward u and have the same shield pen as all legacy weapons

Great to hear it’s still working against legacy. I haven’t yet fought them since the last update. Thanks!

ships still works great vs zirax destroyers and legacy ships

Looks like a PvP CV

Thanks Lyken!

dang! its a Beast !!

I will confidently say that it’s better than Soul Crusher, because of its full xeno hull, plus steel wrapped thrusters. Soul Crusher had quite a bit of carbon in it, where this does not. I’m sure it will serve you well!

Hopefully a perfect replacement for the wonderful Soul Crusher.

Thank you! I hope she serves you well!

Love your stuff and youtube videos. Keep up great work and guides!
Love the CV. I was worried RE2 was going to take away my option of using the Soul Crusher. I am very happy you came out with this bad girl as a replacement.

Great work!

I will try this and max it out then compare it to my modified for RE2 Ono. Nothing has surpassed it so far.
