This has been my go to early CV since, oh, 9. I was wondering if anyone has had issues with the warpcore since Exp. 12. Every single game it gets blown up. I've tried reinforcing the hull with hardened and even combat steel around the core, but to no avail.

I love it.

Like it's overall design, great work Spanj however I made some changes to make it CPU ready and under tier 2 in the version I recreated. Added a fridge, and altered the setup to enable better flight capabilities and more control. It's under my workshop as the same name V2, feel free to take a look at the way I set up the thrust systems and use the P menu.

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1787129268 Here's my version Spanj, a few things added...LOL

Love the build, and I use it often.
I did add a forcefield to my version as by the time I'm ready to build this I have at least a couple from raided POIs.
Also, I know I have mentioned it before, there is a missing deco fin on the rear left. My OCD did not let me ignore it. I have added it as well to my unpublished BP. Just a suggestion for an update.

Gotta say, Spanj, this has been the most useful and fun CV for me. Coupled with the EarthMover, they are my "go to" ships to get jobs done. Gotta have one for each large planet!!!! I've made some good enhancements, I'll have to share sometime. Cheers!

Thanks TashunkaSapa.
Yep a shutter will solve it, or forcefield as suggested in the description.
Air will not flow through the aft access corridor because the floor is made of half blocks, as far as the O2 system works, it considers half blocks airtight.

Hi Spanj, I had mentioned this in your latest live stream - replacing the ramp with a shutter door makes the bridge and the elevator airtight - but the upper service tunnel has no air beyond the ventilator. It appears that the core and wireless connection prevent airflow. Moving them aft allowed a couple more blocks to be oxygenated but air still wouldn't flow under or past the core or wireless. It's not a huge issue (how often does one need to go up there?) but I'm just trying to engineer a solution.

This is a great little CV, I've enjoyed watching you use it in your videos. I'm wondering... do you think it's possible to build an SV around the dimensions of the Earthmover, that would fit in the bay instead? Might be handy for certain missions or activities.

Love the ship and as for your new ship that your building a name that you might like. Harbinger as it look just like a ship of doom that is not to be messed with

nice box

1 wood?? Why the 1, single, piece of drift wood for the entire built?? Too expensive for a lvl 10 CV. Broke the bank with that just there. The rest of it is nice.

Nice CV @Spanj, any suggestions where to place an O2 station?

Hey @Spanj because of how airtightness works i found a way to solve the issue without screwing up too much, i added a link to imgur to demonstrate it, just place two beams et voila, airtight!

great little design! I noticed in creative that there was no oxygen outside 1 block around the ventilator. The reason is because you do not have a sealed environment. An easy fix would be to place a shutter door at the bottom of the stairs leading from the cargo bay to the elevator in front of the ramp you are using to close off access to the area. This would still leave your cargo bay unpressurized.

this is what i am using now. its lost a few blocks to enemies... but so far it seems to be holding up well.
only issue i have had with it so far was the damage to the bridge when a drone spawned INSIDE!!! i lost a few windows to my own base defense turrets when they shot through my ship to get to the drone...

@D00mnoodle - thank you sir!
It was a tough build for sure, the front went through 3 iterations and when i thought i had it, i had forgotten the Grav gen so had to move the whole thing forward by one block lol. it took a lot of tweaks and changes for sure.
@Bonedog, thanks bud :)

So i spawned this one ingame and was blown away. First off, how did you manage to fit two max capacity containers in there, while also having room for enough thrusters, a freaking warp drive and still have room left for all the functional bits in the front and somehow even a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HV hangar...??!?! All while being dirt cheap and looking amazing?! I really don't understand how you managed to pull this off but you did. So gratz. This is THE single best early game CV for W&V enabled saves. Gj!

She's a great CV for early to mid game! Had a blast watching you Build her.

This is a perfect fit for my first CV, where I am still actively seeking resources, to build something bigger.
Well done mate.

I like it, it gives me the feel of a truck, I mean it as a compliment. Thanks for sharing. Regards.

Great ship spanj love the design and the way I've got round the o2 is to remove the ramp and fit a shutter door on the lift

Awesome CV for little resources. Outstanding storage as well. Awesome job Spanj.

I'm loving your Earthmover and this compliments it perfectly.

@XCaliber - Thank you sir!

@d00mnoodle - Thank you sir, yeh, hopefully get it into the LP soon :)

Thank you @jrandall - I must say your stuff is a big inspiration here, thank you for all the amazing stuff you put out :)

Nice job Spanj. Loving all of these Early Survival builds lately

This is great! Especially LOVE how the earthmover fits in there perfectly! Can't wait to see it in your LP! And while i do love the front of the original shorthauler more this is a worthy sucessor.

Killer design on this! Love the curvy and the realistic look. Awesome job!
