10 years old today, what an absolute classic

I love when 3 of them randomly spawn in then crash into the ground

How much materials does it need to fully build it?

i cant get it to lift off (even from the moon...) is it not supporting its own weight?

Thanks haha, I love this little bug, too. Small yet versatile, simple to build yet visually pleasing. I even like to look at it today though it has only the simplest of armor block shapes.

This should be the flagship for the game. The true OG

Going through "most popular of all time" mods and this is on the first page... good old times when SE was still a baby

This is very interesting this corvette

?
This ship is very veeeeeeery old. Don’t know what you mean.

Did I miss where the components need list was or is there one

Oh man, I remember when this first came out! Had great flights with this ship!

Uh, never mind, here you go:

nowhere, this ship is damn old. There where no oxygen generators back in those days. Follow that link in the description, there you find my latest ships.

can anyone tell me where the oxygen generator is on this thing?

Thes cockpit for this ship has really inspired me on my designs! It's really slim yet very cool inside and out!

Goddamnit JD.Horx. Im trying to add you for 2 weeks now and you still havent frickin accepted my invite!

Does that mean you wont even play when someone asks you to?

Thanks a lot for the compliment! You can add me, though I won't be playing SE a lot for the time being. SE used to be a lot more stable. I'll come back when Keen gets their stuff fixed and some actual life in their universe.

And besides, your Rhino rover was the first ever blueprint ive ever installed in SE honestly.

Well, would want to add ya tho. I couldnt post a comment on your profile on why i wanna add you so im posting it here. im kinda finding people to play SE with, and im havin a real hard time finding any people like you. Or similiar i should say. Besides, i would be so greatfull if we could create ships n' rovers together. And i assume you aint actually interested in playing together with anyone.

Perfect, post a link please! And thank you :)

JD, I absolutely love the forward canopy you designed for the Hydra, and if you'd like to see, I used the concept in one of my own ships.

the programmable block was mostly of decorative use back then. In my actual build of the Hydra the block can actually be used for a planet travel assistant system.

What's the text in the programmable block supposed to be? It wouldn't let me build it throught the projector, I had to hand place it. (and a few other things)

Well thanks for sharing your thoughts. I built this as a anti-fighter/flak corvette. But I could additionally create a gunship style of corvette.

I like the ship, sorry if i get a bit nerdy here, i am a big fan of the x-series of games and the hydra corvette is the weakest corvette in game cos its made by the boron. A corvette is a ship with powerful foward facing weapons and a small broad-side abilitie, however it must also be fast and small as it bridges the gap between heavy fighters and frigates or destroyers. it should also be able to hold its own with smaller frigates because of its high speed and maneuverabilitie, and relatively powerful weapons. Maybe add a couple missile launchers to the front? not turrets. this is a great ship though, i really like the glass cockpit.

Love the way you design your ships JD!

ok did some more extensive war testing. this thing can take a hit too.

Hmm. Better for anti frigate or even capital ship. but i guess itd be pretty good against fighters.

This is an anti fighter - meteor warship that used to protect the main ship right? Not a ship used for dogfight and face to face against the enemy turrets? Then the front glass windows won't be a problem. If it is, you can just build a new flight seat in the centre of the ship, located near the med bay for your combat bridge.

Well, I didn't say it's perfect. It's just a nice corvette for exploration mode that you can hopefully find in this vast galaxy and, as you all are engineers, you can modify it as you desire. Would be boring if this ship would be perfect.

Quite amazing I must say...

Neat

i agree with Aarius on all points outside of "forward facing turrets." i fully understand your want of good turret coverage for the intended targets, but a more pressing issue is desync. in mp games, moving forward and firing forward at any decent speed will cause the weapons to shoot themselves. i typically take more damage from my own weapons than i do from enemy ships...

I've always had a gripe that without the armour slopes making ships look smooth and not blocky was really hard. This is something you have achieved with ease. I bow down before your general awesomness.
Now time for some battle testing...

Fun ship that looks like the "FTL" ship. Compact and room for mods. Woot+

I love how simple this ship looks

I prefer to build my ships to be functional without third person mode, so I fully agree with the decision to use windows.

Beeing able to actually see something isn't a "weakspot" in my book.

Nice ship.

I almost aways give my ships glass windows. LOL. i have no idea why, I know it's a weak spot, but i prefer the look over function. maybe if I was designing a ship to use in PvP combat I'd think differently.

@DarkExcalibur42. At least you added grils to your windows to strengthen them, I don't even do that. :)

@JD.Horx I know exactly what you mean....

Had to give my own corvette a nice first-person usable bridge too.

@Aarius: Its a corvette, it will fight against multiple light targets at once, hence the turret configuration. Interior space guaranties good access and possible repairs to all components. Your right about the glass bridge, but I couldn't resist giving it this look ;)

Very nice.

Nice ship. A few forms over funtion, but can be modified to be a real sleek killer.

My humble but experienced oppinion:

Pros: Great style, simple, sleek, inexpensive, well armed.
Cons: Glass bridge is obvious target and weak spot on nose. Weapons are in line (extend rear gatling out one more block to get 4 forward firing turrets), Interior space is nice but pointless. I suggest turing your core inwards and adding a gravity drive.

SLEEK! I like it.

An interesting concept, it kind of remember me of the corvette from Conquest, although it looks wuite different.

Your feedback is much appreciated! If you like the ships, give the collection a like ;)

nice and simple

Heil Hydra!

Nice ship, but one more gyroscope would be nice.
