i really hope this works. its my favorite design

Yeah in RE the ship uses the 'Advanced warp drive' which when you load the ship into vanilla it gets removed. Just have to slap in a vanilla warp drive at the back behind the pent tank :)

Found a spot to install the Warp drive. lol

@Filbertfarmer thanks for the response. Another question, No warp core? I looked around and can't find one.

No, but it wouldn't be hard to convert. Mostly you'd just need to remove the 5th T4 CPU extender and it should work in Vanilla.

@Filberfarmer is there a vanilla version of this cool ship?

@Filbertfarmer Have you had a chance to give this a go in RE 1.7? This is still one of my favorite looking builds and would love to know if it still works. I don't think creative mode is giving correct numbers so it might need to be tested in a survival game first.

I'm not trying to be horrible or anything like that, just sharing my experience with it.
I'm sorry to hear you've had bad interactions before.
We have different definitions of what works okay then, 20m/s lateral in space and generator over 120% when stopping isn't my idea of working, especially when that's without having added or upgraded any weapons.
Like I said, I love how it looks and I hope you didn't take it the wrong way, I was just disappointed based on the description at the time, all good now, easy enough to grind more mats!
I didn't actually know about creative mode so I'll definitely use that next time before spawning anything, thanks for the help on that suggestion! :)

Always spawn a ship in creative before you use it, especially if you got it from the workshop! Many of the most popular ships on the workshop (including mine) are from older versions of the game. I no longer use any of these and i no longer make public posts to the workshop (all my stuff is friends only now) after having been harassed by a select few horrible people here. I don't get paid to do this, i just make stuff and share it for others to use/modify if they like. Thanks to the interactions i've had here i no longer share with the community at large and only share my creations with my server/discord group. Sorry that when you spawned in an old ship without testing it first it didn't work as you imagined it should. I will say that after your initial comment i went back and looked at the Kestrel again, it seems to work okay for me. Perhaps it just isn't built to suit your particular play/combat preferences?

Well that many large generators actually take up more space than 2 advanced would and therefore you would lose potential armour blocks so I'm not sure how that makes sense.
No problem, would just be nice if that stuff about 1.2 etc was a little clearer in the description as it's not exactly a small amount of resources or wait time on your own and essentially now I have a very nice looking but functionally useless, ship.
For example, "performed quite well in it's day" is a long way away from trashing all these high end enemies without a pilot as mentioned in the description etc.
I didn't know that about RCS to be fair as it says in game "required on every vessel for turning" so I assumed they were pretty important, fair enough if that's not the case in RE.
Never mind, as I say, aesthetically it's fantastic, just a bit disappointed with the amount of wasted time and mats.

Go for it @Aldisun, i'd be honored :)

Hello filbertfarmer, I am making a fan trailer for Empyrion and wanted to have this ship in it. Would you be ok with that?

Looking forward to using this CV in a few days on No Mans Land Reforged Eden server. I gave up on the Hoplite due to blocked thruster issue, too much work to make it work. The Kestrel is fully functional in my testing.

What tactics do you use to fight Decimators with this ship? I can sometimes take'm but I get rocked. I'm going for the front "target Gens, blow the Core" from the front strategy.

Thanks Fred!

Sorry I haven't commented on this awesome build before now. This thing is absolutely badass. I took a tour inside and in my limited experience...if I could build many...this would be on top of my list. Nothing but love Filbert!!

Many thanks for the info and advice, we went for a Limpet for a starter and we will gradually upgrade to other as we learn more knowledge to better fit them : ).

Thx again.

The last high-end Vanilla CV's i've produced are the Valkyrie and the Mjolnir. For something more mid-game maybe the Starstrider? The Claymore and Skaar Kestrel were both built for the Reforged mods so they will need to be modified before they can be used in Vanilla (remove the solar capacitors and the extra CPU extenders for a start) I would recomend the limpet (also a reforged build) for mid-game but it is really only designed for combat. the Claymore is also a combat build but it has a hangar too. Honestly the Kestrel is the most versitile of the three. There is also a mid-game Vanilla built version of the Kestrel that is the original called the Kestrel Corsair

Hello, your ships are awesome : ).

Witch of your CV woiuld you recommand for a starting band of friends on vanilla setting ? We are considering the Limpset or the Claymore, The Kestreelis beautifull but maybe a little too high-end for us yet.

This ship here is a wonderful creation! It is very well suited for combat (use the combat bridge, trust me), and easy to upgrade. Stock it is good, with 1 Quantum it is great, with 2? Well we will see when I log in later and upgrade it again.

Takes some getting used to to learn the pathing to get in and out. Not quite as straight forward as the claymore. But where the Claymore was >only< a fighter, this is a fighter and could be pressed into ones only vessel if they so desired. It has storage, placed for additional components, and the ability to have a battle farm.

Once again, excellent work from the master of rust.

@TheTrooper15 funny you should mention that... My next project is a quantum battleship. Its not really on the scale you are talking about though, size class 7 and 8 quantum cores is all, but still its headed in that direction!

Also im glad you like the Kestrel!

Ever since Reforged Eden added the AUX cores, I've had my hopes set on someone creating a true dreadnought-class, pure combat CV using all the new cpu we have available. Watching your builds, I'm really hopeful you might tackle that at some point! Your ships look fantastic, both the Skarr and Filbert designs, and you definitely know how to build a strong, functional combat ship.

If you're looking for any inspiration, thats something that no one has done so far. A class-30 ish maybe, maxed weapons, 30+layer xeno/heavy glass armored nose, and as many AUX cores as it takes. I'd make that thing my faction flagship in a heartbeat! Especially if its a Filbert Shipyards look, I really do like how you design them.

In the meantime, this ship is awesome too, gonna bring it in as a support combat ship for newer faction pilots.

Great work! Really like all of the detail and definitely want to give this some combat experience

Thanks guys! (also thanks again to Pear for the glitch save so i could finish the playtest!)

Damned nice ship. Great detail. I think this is the one I'm gonna spawn on the other side of the Andromeda gate. Can't wait!

Cool look. Has a bird of prey vibe to it. Gonna have to pop into creative for a walkthrough.

gg dude, very cool vessel!

Awesome addition to the Skaar family!

Looks awesome!

My eyes have been raped by the beauty of your ships!!!
would still love to see an RE pimped up LX2-Valkyrie

Sorry Chum, but once i pick a hull design im going to start working on a Quantum CV for you to add to your clutter :)

Thanks Xcal! and MokahTGS!

Oh and thank you again Jrandall!

Also MokahTGS you should check out Xcalibers Anvil Discord for even more cool stuff from a whole bunch of designers who like to combine form and function. Some of the BP's are not on the workshop!

Look at this BEAST! Stance is menacing. Great work Filbert!

You're rapidly becoming my favorite creator. These designs are not only very functional, but they look good. Who doesn't what to blow stuff up with style??

This particular ship has some very heavy Klingon warbird vibes...pretty sure the Klingon battle music should be playing whenever you fly it.

Brother...here you go again cluttering up my base with even MORE ships I am going to need to spawn. I need to start farming quantums, and was debating what to take with me. Looks like this may be it.

Thanks everyone!

Wow excellent work dude! Yah On second thought, it definitely has enough weapons lol

Very cool ship! Excellent work! I got it added to the collection now. Sorry about the delay. Wow, love the interior too! Excellent work!

Great ship! Love flying this around, loved your Claymore but loving this ship even more!
