So after testing this against one of the stronger PoIs, while this ship looks great, the space to place critical components is so condensed that after enough hits to break through the first layer of hardened steel, the ammo boxes on both sides of the ship took hits and cause a chain reaction that completely neutralized the ship. Without heavily overhauling the design, I don't even know where to start to properly move/space out all the equipment to safely operate under fire.

Love this ship design, tested out the Gladius simultaneously and completely loved this one so much more. However, your weapons description does not match the most recent update you've made for the ship (though I love that weapon layout 100x more than whats in the description). :)

Yes, I certainly make much use of the Mamba and Copperhead.

@CaptSMurphy Hey thanks! Well I focused more on the early game SV's months ago. As for bases sadly I do not have much for starter types. As for an early game CV, I tried to do that with my Hammerhead CV. But that failed as I started going a different direction on that one.

So that being said I am working on a early starter type CV. Early materails and such, but able to upgrade to the more rare components at a later time.

Months ago I did focus on a more modular type base for your specific needs. Survival turrets and medical chambers and respawns modules. But as for smaller type starter bases I really haven't focused on those.

But I do have you covered for early game SV's! Low cost and survival ready! Be sure to check these out!

Jenniphurr, yours (ZeroG) is the best stuff I have seen in the workshop (with special mention to Kieve and Mr.IceCat). I have noticed, however that ZeroG doesn't really have much in the line of early game items. Items with lower level requirements as well as no Erestrum and Zascosium required. I would like to put ZeroG to the challenge of cheap, early bases and craft, especially a good first CV to warp out to get said Erestrum and Zascosium. Love your work! :)

I just came in here to see what was going on with the docking issue as well, as I love the Ripley. I see here there is an answer, thanks :)

Ah I just added docking struts or whatever you call them, also added an O2 station and a fridge removed the constructor for more storage also

Yep, I just figured that out. Removed them and was going to let you know but you beat me too it :) Keep up the good work. Your ships are my go to when looking for something new.

@david_vh I was just looking at this issue moments ago. its the vents over the bottom rcs thrusters. Break those off and all good.

Ill update this shortly to reflect the changes

No problem. It almost looks like it maybe an invisible collision box, kind of like base turrets have at the bottom.

@david_vh Hmm, let me look into this. Sorry for the set back~

Love the ship but mine won't dock either. I noticed it seems to hover slightly above whatever surface it's landed on.

Awsome ship customized it a bit, only issue I have with it is, It wont dock in my CV. :(

I just built this ship and it looks like a huge powerdrain, 80%+ while moving.
Except from that, its an epic ship with a awesome look.
Though, i wish that the powerdrain could be less, to fly longer.
Thanks!

No Jenn, thank you! :D Keep up the good work and thank you for taking my critiques about your earlier ships (like the Mamba) to heart about making them combat ready. You're doing a bang up job!

@hnazarian Fixed! Thank you~
