Alex, time to make the RSI Zeus Mk 2 :)

Hey Jmp470! Thanks! Honestly... I don't know? For one the hull's made out of scenario-specific structural ramp blocks - you know, the sleek ones with 1:3 incline ratio. SolarSky's done a fair conversion on the frame for vanilla - link's at the end of the description, but I donno where he took it afterwards. For the other - she's been engineered to work in Reforged Eden that I know the works of. I don't really have enough vanilla experience to know what at all to do with an SV there and how to make her useful and interesting. So the answer is probably "no", sorry...

can you make this compatible with vanilla game?

RSI Zeus next :D

Hi @Narbenfresse! Glad you like her! I am afraid I don't have a fully upgraded version on hand atm. In our last play-through we pretty much followed what's layed out here - upgraded the drives first, then shields and maxed out plasma cannons. Plasma turret turned out to be too difficult to use on the sever, so we opted for as many positrons as we could fit with every new core available. I can share a partial upgrade if you like with 10 A-cores and one quantum.

Hello, is there a full upgraded version of the ship? i love it

Brilliant design. Thank you.

Ahahaha, I wish it worked that way ) but I am also not in the habit of selling design ideas years before release. Even if one can't beat SC designs for awesomeness!
P.S. I can also offer a Polaris in missile or gun configs ;)

i love this i bought the galaxy in star citizen you made one first i should just give you 500 usd

Hi @SolarSky, not sure what you'd do with an SV shell, but, provided you reference the original - sure thing, post it ) Glad you like the ship)

Hello, love the ship design and made a shell of it. Would it be okay of me to post the shell?

Thank you, Atriace! :) re CV as cargo - oh yas it we can! Spent an entire season on Anvil server flying it - it's a base game mechanic. It will however prevent you being able to dock to any other ship - no chain docking. And it will stop you from warping into SV-only combat sites.

This ship is really inspiring. I'm amazed that you used CV parts on an SV. I haven't used that combo, but I can't help but think that SVs can't pull CVs as "cargo"? I'm so confused by that, but so impressed by your design. I love the engine nacelle design.

Glad you like it, @victusfate!

Have been flying a slightly modified version of this on the USG RE multiplayer server and it has been a pleasure. Love the design and layout

My bad. i didn't even look at all the pictures sorry

This thing is friggin awesome! i'm working on the upgrades right now

@Novaca1n3 - glad you like it! ... er... detailed pictures with instructions for upgrade installation and module docking were not enough?! )

Awesome ship. Needs upgrade markers lol

Needs a gravity generator to take it to the next level

XD how many times i re-checked that lol

Hi NIWI guess who has a fully upgraded galaxy!!! Also just to point out the Dorsal/Ventral pictures are wrong. Dorsal is the top, ventral is bottom, Your ventral picture shows the top and vice versa, probably just have to change the tag, easy mistake!

I am in love, no idea what to call her yet.

This is the best shop description ever love it !!!!!

thanks for the explanation. so thats the term you gave it ok. also doesnt putting a block, missing a block and putting another one mean 3 spaces really?

In the simplest application volumetric armour works like this: If you have a layer of steel armour two block thick - an arty shell will go through that in one shot. If you have two single-block armour lawyers spaced far enough apart so that the damage from the hit on the first layer does not transfer to the second layer - you will need two arty shells to go through it. It's a bit more complicated in real design, but still follows that logic. On SVs it's easier to achieve this in relative size an weight because of relatively short distance the damage travels along SV blocks. On CVs damage travels further and volumetric armour just takes too much space and weight and affects the mobility more - so it's more difficult to balance against the drive CPU needs.

hi NIWI thanks for the explanation I understand. was just curious. Can you tell me what this means? "SV volumetric armour that allows galaxy to kill nullifiers stock does not work in the same way on CVs." i do not understand volumetric armor

Because it was part of the Anvil server Designer's Challenge a couple of months ago. Because I wanted to see how far I can push an SLV concept. Because the level of detailing achievable with SVs dwarfs that of a CV. And because I like doing impossible things ) how many ppl can say they built an SV that can be spawn in as core 9 and can grow itself to kill every single legacy ship and station?

Hi niwi thanks alot for the ships anyway. just curious how come you chose to go the route of SV with the galaxy?

@Aaron, however if you like the idea of small core-9 combat carrier CV, comfortable to live in and powerful enough to hunt for its own upgrades - I could suggest checking out the MCI Polaris M/GW. These share some of the design philosophy and looks with the Galaxy :)

@Aaron, I am afraid not. There is not literal conversion block for block for this build - it will simply be out of proportion. Scaling it down would be a much more complicated task. I have no idea what weight distribution the scaled down version could have, but can say right away that the drive system would have to be fundamentally redesigned. SV volumetric armour that allows galaxy to kill nullifiers stock does not work in the same way on CVs. Weapons loadout for CVs is different... interior is not the right scale... in other words it would have to be a completely new ship, designed and balanced from scratch. I am unlikely to commit to any such project before RG2 drops. And it'd be a different ship anyway )

but will you do a cv version? :)

Ah, thank you @Brionatus and @Aaron! I am glad you like her and hope you enjoy flying her too!

this is so awesome I want to pay you. you should do a cv version

This is one of the most amazing and utilitarian and sleek vessels i have ever seen in this game amazing work

@jackamc18 - I am sorry to hear you are having difficulties. Are you sure you are trying to load the ship in Reforged Eden 1.9 scenario?
Re the SLV - nah, it's just a fancy term. It's all SV blocks, nothing illegal here.
If you want to try and find me on the Empyrion Discord (SandroMc) - I may be able to troubleshoot your spawn in problem better...

Hey, I'll try it again.

I tried it in reforged. Still didn't work! I really don't know. and I've got another question. Is there a such thing as an SLV? You used HV and SV parts, so I'm wondering if the game is allowing a ship built like that. Also, it's like there is no hull, with several of the blocks missing... And it's all symmetrical. If I can't come up with a fix I will unsubscribe to the ship, because it takes up my CPU usage. I'm very sorry! And I'm not, like, threatening you, or anything:)

In Reforged Eden they do, @Vectrasor. Brings extra shield capacity too.
Re the spaces - there are two doors leading to the inside of the hull just to the right and left of the fore generatorium.

SV's don't get Aux core's to use. Only small quantums.

Are you talking about those two big gray spaces? I was wondering why they were there as they seemed big enough to fit a warp drive in them, and you already had a place for that.

Good expansion illustrations, using the blue device placement ghost This should be a standard for other ships.

Thanks @Vectrasor and @Stone! I hope you enjoy flying her.
I should have really put an LCD or something in those rooms. The two rooms in the front are not as such unfinished - they serve as access to the the inter-hull space and can be used for cargo storage expansion. Doing so in stock would stain CPU and impact mobility too much - which is why they were left empty.

I had no issues when spawning it in RE Creative studio btw when I went to work on the two front unfinished rooms. She really is gorgeous.

I think you knocked it out of the park with this one.

She's gorgeous.

If you are playing in Reforged Eden - make sure you are using the latest scenario update? I also don't know if it will spawn correctly in RE Creative studio - but will definitely spawn in a normal RE scenario set to creative mode.

@jackmc18 - how many holes? if the majority of the outer hull is missing - it's likely because it's solid ramp blocks that are in Reforged Eden scenario only I am afraid. This ship was build for that scenario and cannot be converted to vanilla game...
CPU extensions - the basic, improved and advanced are already built in in the main core room (middle deck, right front quarter). And look at the Upgrade pics - they detail where additional RE CPU upgrades can go.

also, are there slots for CPU extensions?

Okay, listen. This will sound weird, but when I spawned her out, there were holes everywhere, and it also didn't allow me to use it during a normal save game. I'm not exactly sure what's going on. It was like entire sections, cockpit, chunks of the hangar, ETC. It wasn't at all airtight. But i do get what you're saying about the defense on the aft! Thanks.

Thanks @Rico and @Corporal Bean, I hope you enjoy flying her! And yes, it is inspired by the namesake ship in Star Citizen )
