I would use a tool like SEtoolbox or one of the mods out there (one does it) to convert all the heavy armor to light armor. Then it will be fully atmo capable. Otherwise it can never. Weighs too much. It is designed to take a lot of damage and be very durable, at the cost of weight. Thus the gravity drive

oh its possible to give this ship atmospheric capabilities but it requires a modded thruster, and using mods seems like something a lot of players seem to frown upon nowadays...

Yea, she too heavy to ever do that. You can get her down to a point, until the planet grav overcomes the grav drive. There is a point of no return. I believe you can still get close enough to the surface to hit it with missiles with the Honorius version

i tried to give it atmospheric capabilities but to do so i would have to remove a lot of key components: sspace only it is

Sit in SE homescreen and watch the background vid a bit :P Glad you like it! Horx does great work

THIS looks like it could be fun :O can't believe I've never seen this or the Honorius

Hmmm, do you still need a hand on the design part of the ship or is this a pure software update? ;)

There will be a updated/performance optimized version of this grav drive script on the updated version of this ship, called Honorius. That ship releases this weekend or soon thereafter.

That particular script was custom made for this ship. Its been a long time since I've touched it, and not really sure what it would take to make it general use.

@Meridius What configurations are needed to use the gravity engine script? (thruster names or other)
Thank you

@Meridius what's the script used for the gravity drive?
I absurdly love the design of this ship :)
Thank you!!

You can copy those values in-game. Just position your block placer cursor over the block you want to get the color of and press Shift+P

Hey Horx, if you're still around somewhere, I'm really interested as to what the HSV values of that golden color you use in the hangar of the Nestorius are. I really like how it looks, and sorta want to use it in some things of mine.

We are still testing the sister ship. She is the testbed for a new scripted weapons system by Alysius. The script is nearly complete and working well so far.

WOW THAT LOOKS so good It reminds me of star conflict and fractured space AWESOME WORK

When will the sister ship be out?

Its also laggy, regardless, just less so. Not sure if there is a 6D grav drive script out there that is optimized. I am hoping Torch team fix the plugin to splt PB off onto seperate thread.

I wonder if the new one I wrote would be backwards compatible to any degree?

Lol, working as intended. Although this is a legacy grav drive script. Less laggy ones exist out there now.

This ship is actually broken, it accelerates faster than a light fighter...

Thats another of JD Horx creations; unnamed space station afaik. I believe he is retired now.

@FowlPlayChiken What's the name of space station in third image? Is a mod?
Very good work for the ship!!

This looks pretty cool.

The ship to end all ships.

Updated sister ship based on this hull coming soon

Reasons...

I really like this simple ship. I think it's my favorite on the workshop even beside The AHAB and The Everest.

Haha in fairness I do like to have auto miners set up on the ice moon,and an auto hauler bring it to orbit and dump it at a depot there. Nestorius is hungry for hydrogen ;D Although I leave those off when not in combat and just use grav drive and ion .

Invade a planet for what? All that ice?^^

Can ICBM from orbit but otherwise yea.

mabye you could make a carrier to go with it, so it could be like the U.S. navy's carrier groups.

interesting, the only real problem with the ship is that you can barely fit a fighter in it, and the ship cant reenter a planets atmosphere making it useless for invading another planet. (unless you drop pods or something like that.) its not like the game can handle that though.

We are working on an advanced version with 8x small grid interceptor missile, 1x large grid anti-ship torpedo (See my workshop, Daenerys, for example); and 16 PDC's (small grid gatlling gun array). All these systems will be integrated in an "Iron-Dome" (google it) style layered defense system, with LIDAR target tracking, etc. Will work when player is offline as well, so good for offline base defense. Will be similar to the layered defense system on modern U.S. Navy destroyers.

That version does lose the hanger bay, however. Only way we could fit the 4x4 small grid interceptor missile broadsides.

the only problem, is the small hanger. it could also use a small grav cannon on the front. (ive seen a desighn 3x1x4) mabye you could add these in a mk2 version?

Could be done, but I figured I would never need an escape pod. In vanilla pvp, this ship is king of the hill.

This is one of my favorite ships, I wish you could extend the hanger a bit and add maybe an escape pod bay, but other than that I love this ship.

ok

Orbital? No. There are no orbit mechanics to my knowledge.
Defense station? I have one or two.
MAC? I guess no again. Maybe more like a torpedo launcher, but that is really not my speciality.

Horx can you make a orbital defense station like a mac?

I had read, just i was looking for "Planet" or "Atmosphere"

„Environment: Space, Moons“

Im Germany there is a saying that roughly translates to:
„Those capable of reading certainly have an advantage over those who are not.“

Is it atmosphericaly capable (able to land/take off from planets)

If it is in survival than you would need to use a projector

how can u now transfer this ship as blueprint to ur server ?

their was 3 types of red ships the dropship, the nestorious and another kind f ship witch i guess is a support ship so my question now is what was that ship

Y'all building massive frigates when my frigate looks like a child play with a miniature body.

Nice work anyway.

Downvote for heresy? Upvote for a nice build? Idk, I'm torn....

how to juse bluprints

I have a huge habit of bombing your ships with out mercy hahaha
