Thank you for taking the time to respond. I guess I didn't look at it that way, I'll probably keep the torpedos short term until I get another aux core or 2, then switch them out for artillery. Overall though I absolutely love this ship design, and coming back to the game for the first time in a year a lot has changed. I absolutely hate the "spinny spinny" ship meta and this ship stops having to do that to get your first few aux cores.

@FrawstxSnipe: Yeah I personnaly don't use the torpedos at all, I added them here only to show where you could place them if you wanted to use them. The Torpedos only look similar to artillery at first glance, they however fulfill a different role. They are guided and can be used to snipe turrets and thrusters, much like the railgun or positron beams. They provide a little twist on that function as they have an explosion radius.
They do lack the damage and explosion radius of artillery, so they aren't even remotely as good as those when it comes to coreing, which is what artillery is commonly used for.

Honest question from a pve only noob here why go with both artillery and torpedos? am i missing something obvious or do they both not accomplish the same purpose?Also spawned this in in creative, and 1 of the 6 laser cannons doesnt show on the bar due to the hard cap of 21.

Thanks, I'll have a look.

Updated this showcase bp with 8 launchers. Thats where I would probably place them now.
There is a little bit of texture rework recommended if you care for such small things, the positions were not built for the launchers. Also need to remove a couple blocks and 2 solar panels.

Thanks!! Well as it stands the answer to that particular issue is to find another place for the torpedo launchers. I will have a look at it again and try to come up with an example.

Ente, I love this ship! Wishing there was an answer to the landing gear torpedo issue and patiently waiting for that. Looking forward to your next creation!

Not to my knowledge. But currently they aren't that good anyways.

@Ento is there any word on the Torpedo launchers blocking the landing gear?

Its a perfect end game mother ship. The only struggle I see would be maneuverability at progenitor space. They may have just a bit too much guns for the ship to hold up to. But xirax are tasty. lol

Thanks DJ_Possibility and Alenvire!
@DJ_Possibility: There is a compartment for them behind a shutter in the CPU room.

where do the Drone cores go?

amazing ship , working on the spawnable one

I may try it then. Will think about it. Thank you for your time and this amazing ship. I love everything about it.

You will probably have a hard time to get a way to the spinal mount included, if thats important to you. You will also loose a couple fuel tanks and perhaps one or two lcds. But it can be done. In an earlier WIP there were indeed 2 fusion generator rooms, so I am confident that the geometry does allow it. In theory you would just have to mirror the other side and fix the textures.

I was able to get 1 installed already and I bought the second core which is why I ask.

I was curious. Ente do you know if there is room to modify the 2 advanced gen room into another fusion reactor room? The fusion reactor is more efficient then 4 advanced gens in every way. Less CPU space and more kw. If your not sure thats fine. I can tinker with it in creative later. I just know that my building skills will make it take a long time for me to figure out if it would work or not.

lol, Ah, Dunno how I missed that. Thanks very much.

See the description:

"* If you play under the new soft cap of 10 quantums you will not be able to get enough CPU to get all the upgrades. Make choices."

My only confusion comes from CPU management. I put in 10 aux cores ,10 quantum extenders and a advanced core which I have no idea where to find. Itt was still 900k over cpu. Do you have to downgrade some where to make it fit cpu or am I missing something? Either way, I love this build.

Thats more of an optional thing. There is the possibility to use the aux cores to increase shield capacity instead of cpu. However as the numbers turned out that is not worth doing, unless you have way too many quantums and play without the soft limit on quantums. So a rather niche case.

That however wasn't clear at the point where I built the area. Back then we only knew there would be those updates, not how bad they are.

tl;dr: Do whatever you want with it ;)

Thank you for showcasing a fully upgraded model. I was a little confused on the placement of shield upgrades. It did not look like there was anywhere near enough room for all the shields in the shield room and now i see the arrays and couplings go down near the hanger area (was wondering what those locations were for). Only thing that still puzzles me now is the auxiliary shield upgrade area is still empty. What is that for?

Thx, seems to be very rare. i found 2 isotope generators that do 2kW for free (without fuel) also nice to have but no core until yet.

Found one from random lootbox in a POI. No idea whether there is a specific place with better chances.

ty for full version! BTW do you know where i get the Core for the fusion reactor? ty
