Thank you Russ. I started with designing boxes as well, and I will tell you if you put the effort in, you can push out of the box aesthetic.

Nice build. I am using this as my starter CV in Lost Mia. Needed something with teeth yet not too expensive and couldn't be bothered replacing all the hull blocks in the Taurus. Took out a lot of the large thrusters and replaced with mediums. Took out the pulse lasers and knocked down to a couple of T3s. I like that it is a bit more hull hardened than the Taurus. Eredium and Zascosium and gold is limited. Will revert to original fitout when I can get the resources.

What I really like about this Minotaur/Taurus series is the rear access for my HV and the gardens, which a lot of starter combat CVs don't have.

I also really appreciate the effort you go thru to explain upgrading. It's a life saver for players like myself. I have trouble designing a square box.

You may have hit your blueprint cap. Try removing some blueprints to make space

I can't seem to find the file in the list of blue prints after downloading ...any suggestions?

Good catch. Thanks Cesr, have updated the blueprint and notes

@LyfeForce
After some fiddeling (renaming and the prefabinfo command) I discovered the problem....it has too many Sentry guns, 11 wheras 8 are allowed in this version. I removed some in Creative, resaved it locally and it is no longer red.....

Hi LyfeForce

I really like this CV and I want to spawn this BP in Vanilla, but my BPscreen tells me there is a forbidden block, so nothing happens, cant even bring it into the factory. I'm playing the latest updates (1.10.x). In a creative save it loads perfectly fine...... What can be the issue?

What drew my eye to that screenshot was mostly the way the downward engines seem to be more the enclosed type in slightly more angular armor so the turret next to the vertical sidewings does not overhang. The gun palcement with the extra shaping looks quite nice as well actually. I might have a look to see if I like that more or not.

Either way its a lovely ship to fly around in with plenty of upgrade potential for quite some time in my first playthrough of eden.

Also, thank you for taking the time to answer :)

The file is long gone. The differences are real subtle, with the exception of the reverse thruster placement and turrets on the outer cheeks. Maybe the biggest difference is the mounted artillery over the front top of the ship. You could roll that back to a Taurus type configuration, and you would have something resembling the one in the first pic

Finally made the transition to RE a month ago and got around to building this and have been loving the use of it ever since. I do have a small question though LyfeForce, is there a file available for the red version on the first screenshot? The blockwork and thruster placement look a bit more angular but quite interesting, would love to check out the differences on that if at all possible.

Thank you Stordi!

Thank you! A perfect little CV for a Singleplayer.

... what? There's space on the bottom for solar, and it was outlined in the video? There's also mention of it in the armament section here. Also this is the Vanilla version of the build.

Excellent, but solar panels are a thing. The only reason I load this up, look at it, then don't use it. I guess I could try splitting the ship somewhere and pancaking them in. I think I already attempted to figure out a way and gave up at some point.

Thank you, Too Lazy. Glad to hear you like it

Try to build my pity T4 CV blueprint and see this beautiful CV, No !!!!!!

This is an excellent CV.
And I will move fridge and food processor from Quarter Room to the farming place.

Thank you for your kind works Monty

Another Phoenix Star workshop cracker. The attention to detail, the customisability, the pre rendered colour change ability. Lyfeforse has pulled another rabbit out the hat, well done mate you deserve my E-round of applause. 👏
