yeah... a 8.0+ version would be just amazing. I love this CV

any chance you can make a 8.0 version? pretty please!

I just made a second more heavily modified version which can be found here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1221338703

I just did a quick update on this ship to 7.0
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1219608885

Would love to get an updated version of this ship.

Não roda na versão 6

I would not be opposed to an update to make it compatible =p

update pls still incompatible!

Helion Update ;)

I think need to update since 5.1 !

Love this ship. Probably my favorite in the game so far. I use it as a mobile base, for exploration and for mining. Very well thought out and put together. Thank you for publishing it.

You will see better combat because the operating mandate is to achieve a mobile base of operations. One that ultimately, has to be protected by the user. Utilising it's bay space for defence craft offers better tactical properties, much like how a Navy Frigate employs tactical support, with it's compliment of on-board Helicopter gunships.

I love this awsome ship,but i have seen better comdat on a cv

you're welcome

This is a really nice ship. Nice and compact, yet made with Combat Steel so it can take a beating. Thank you for sharing.

heh heh :)

i have mod this a lil u might like my changes

Thanks MrSlum, I'm working on a much bigger version right now. Also, some other ship builders are making more ships, so keep an eye out for more stuff from the community soon! :D

Perfect Bro

Thanks Nazrabji, well, you won't have any issues in single player mode. But there is something familiar about your problem with the terrain.

Let's make it clear first, the ship doesn't have anything to do with the mining of terrain itself, because you can also make a helix spiral around the deposit and still emerge beneath the ship that way too! :D

There was something mentioned before about having issues placing a core inside the terrain in multiplayer; that it was not allowing it. It might be something to do with that, I'll have to look into that anyway because I have a server myself lol! Cheers enjoy your travels!

I like the design of this ship, but it's for some reason not possible for me to add the elevator blocks when i'm trying to mine ores. Does anyone know if that is a server setting or something that you can change?

Because otherwise all mining vessels will become kind of useless for me :(

It's not too bad at all really.

Hi, How is this ship with fuel? Is it fuel efficient? I really enjoyed the design, thanks for share

I think the thrusters you are looking for are the ones at teh rear of the vessel. Remove some blocks right behind the rear landing gear to expose those thrusters.

Good luck!

Thanks for the quick response, great customer service : ) I did not attack the POI but rather underestimated the range of it's weapons when landing near a sweet ore spot. None the less I guess it is careful removal of exterior blocks and trust I can find the damaged ones, which still leads me to question how exterior thrusters are OK and ones buried out of sight are heavily damaged. Can you give me a tip such as, thrusters are clustered together, some visible and some not, just a tip is all I need to start ripping into 'er!

Hm, yes it's not good when you get AoE damage, something which the devs right now are currently addressing. We've all given feedback of some kind of internal repair function. You'll encounter this problem with pretty much any vessel right now. The only thing to do is make triple layer armour, but that's a bit impractical and presents its own set of problems with aviation.

If you like this vessel, then reverse-engineer it in Creative mode. Then you will know where everything is!

Anyway, the way I operate whenever I'm about to assail a POI is that I land nearby, but out of range of attack from the heavy armed emplacements. I launch my fighters from my Capital Vessel and attack the POI that way. Your Mothership is precious, look after it!

This CV is designed for general operations, such as mining and Planet-to-Planet travel. It can defend itself from anything attacking it without sustaining internal damage that cannot be repaired. But that is from Drones. A Rocket Drone is probably the highest threat level target as far as AoE damage is concerned. However, I was careful in selecting the type of hull-mounted turret system. The cannons are meant for defence against incoming targets, rather than attacking POI's! heh heh ;)

Great ship!, but after a scrape with a POI I am having a really hard time finding all the thrusters to repair them. I believe I have been over every square inch inside and out and I cannot find the damaged ones, of course. Which begs the question, if I can't find them from the outside of the ship how did they get damaged? Actually the real question is how to find them!

Thank you cloudcaptain :)

Great Ship...very clever design. Definitely feels like a high tech ore hauler.

Thanks Dan, I did, almost ready to test drive in survival. Just have to build ammo :)

Amazing work! Can someone recommend a small vessel that has an interior and also fits thru into the hanger? My Avenger, not so much.

Hi William, if you want to put a door on the bottom of the elevator, you can do - I decided to leave it open because testing showed it was tricky to get in with having to wait for it to open.

Wow thats truly epic... star treck statis

AWESOME

Great design. Is their supposed to be a door at the bottom of the elevator? it was open air last time I checked.

I've often had problems while difficult-planets-mining (to get zascosium or erestium) because of predators jumping down wit rate of 2-3 MPM (Mobs Per Minute). This ship should help me very much.
There's only one problem. It is the problem of almost every able-to-land-planets vessels so I don't say there is any mistake. The problem is "blind" zone under your ship which isn't protected.
Though you may just have an escort. Enen your hangar lets carry 4 my hedgehog-based vessels (H1, H2, H3 - you may find them in my workshop).

Thanks guys :)

@Rabid Debate Student: Hey, well I could upload that if you like. It did pretty well against some POI turrets, didn't even lose any hull plating and was hailed by their fire for a while.

I'll stick it up on Monday (working over weekend away).

hawt and dank

Love it! Good work! :)

Thank you for the kind responses. Very humbling to be recognised by some of Empyrion's venerated players and creators!

The groupings help a lot don't they! Thanks Eleon, for that control panel! haha :D

I love this CV! I spawned this in creative to test out driving before I allocated the materials and time in multiplayer. It's beautiful and functional. I appreciate the time the author took to think about all the functionality, down to the groupings! Well done!

really awesome ship :) looks a lot like the Khar Suliem in Homeworld

What can I say that hasn't already been said! This ship is pure Genius! Wonderful work and I am ZeroG Approving this!
ZeroG Approved! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=645056978

ZeroG Shipyards! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=620454405

Absolutely bloody brilliant!

gotcha, thanks jaydeasy4sho for the advice :)

Great build, you should release a Lower Level one, and possibly a new updated version you have been working on. Just love the idea of this ship, shame to only get it late game.

lol i just spawned it in creative a little while ago...it looks good :P i like it

IKR!!? haha. Mr.IceCat's amazing designs kickstarted me into thinking about making some fantasy Space Craft. The inspiration for this design came from the Landing craft featured in the first 'ALIEN' film. The landing gears and strip lighting beneath the vessel echo to that fateful event that took place down on LV426 all those years ago...
