Nice thought out design, obviously spent a lot of time detailing as well.
Seemed to be missing a couple of the lower level cpu extenders to get it out of the red on RE2.

"If you are playing reforged eden, the build starts to become effective at 2-3 aux/quantums,"

Ok... that changes things. I'm sorry but I didn't see this info in the description. Thanks Mr. Lyfe :-)

If you are playing reforged eden, the build starts to become effective at 2-3 aux/quantums, and grows better from there with investment in extra shields and weapons.

The nose can be filled out with extra armor/decoys for Vanilla/RE players to make it more tanky when front is toward enemy.

Keep in mind there is a bug where repairs can cost ridiculously extra, if you aren't saving to template after you make changes to the build

I am looking and sadly I can't find any LP that uses this ship.. awesome ship. I recently attacked a Zirax Shipyard in starter orbits and got blown whole front of the ship and over 3MLN in repairs. I wonder what I am doing wrong. Please help :-)

PS: I think that standard laser turrets are crap :-)
Anyway,,, can You give some advice, sir? :-)

Do you have the fusion reactor installed? Vermillion did some sound effects changes some months ago, so that might be what you are hearing

I do need to ask: what causes the constant noise that this vessel makes? It is a very annoying aspect of this build, other than that, this vessel is very smartly designed. Is there a way of removing the sound through "Remove" an item with the multitool?

Thank you again Blyth

Love the thoughtful and practical design approach, LyfeForce. After the Judicator, I can look at a section of your design and know what can be upgraded. Once upgraded to a full complement of thrusters and weapons, this design will be a solid performer. Please keep sharing your talents with these. They make Empy a lot of fun to play.

Build has been overhauled. Check patch notes for detailed info

Hey greg, thank you. Quatums can be farmed from Toveras, and Auxiliary Cores can be made once you get 100 drone parts from Drone faction ship loot boxes.

How can you get the A/Q cores for these ships because no one has made a video on how to do it, plus great looking ships.

Judicator is what you want for max shields. This is meant as a step before Jud. There is CPU available at spawn for shields to be installed. You can get 8x small/medium, +2x large, and with a Bastion or Regeneratie, its a respectable shield ammount

Hi, Does this spawn with the shields installed? If not can you share a version that includes max shields?

Hey Sablisk, thank you for your kind words :)

Dont know if this is the best end end game ship, but he shows exactly how to max it out. So for me it is.
There are many master builders , but most all then kinda assume everyone who downloads there designs are also master builders (Even JRandal, love his stuff, but need a full weekend to hunt downs his markers, yea i suck at building)
Anyhows, thank you

You've hit your blueprint cap and need to remove some to make space for others

@LyfeForse I've subscribed to both the Retribution and the Judicator but neither blueprint will show to spawn in my creative mode. Any Ideas? (Two great builds by the way!)

Thank you Curious, and great to hear Chum.

@Jhall, is there a particular area of the placement that you are having difficulty with?

Do you have this fitted with all thrusters and solar? I trying to figure out placement but something doesn’t line up for me.

Excellent ship! Brought this into a RE server to use as my mid to late game combat ship. It has tons of upgrade potential, excellent carrying capacity for SVs/HVs, and decent storage. It does spawn in sluggish, and the reverse thrust is somewhat lacking. But there are locations set aside to add more. Takes a small bit of time to learn the layout find all the nooks and crannies that upgrades are set to fill, but fit it all does!

Absolutely gorgeous ship. This is the kind of ship I wish I could build, because it is just so damn cool! Epic work

Thank you Draconis :)

Masterpiece. There are no other words.

Hehe, thank you Mat :)

Awesome ship Lyfe - again! But jees, I almost fell laughing from my chair looking at picture no.2 :D

Updated build to provision down thrust at the nose of the ship. In cases where the Drive Thruster was placed in the nose for lift, this was leaving the nose lift/dive ratio skewed. Retribution will now spawn in with 4 mediums near the nose, and have space for 4 additional once the exterior deco near the spawn in mediums, and blocks beneath them are removed. There is also placement for additional advanced thrusters for down thrust, which is outlined in the Auxiliary room at the nose of the ship. Players can swap the top mid section advanced thrusters and place them at the nose if they want to break even on CPU cost, while gaining big on pitch value

Thank you AR. Is that with the extra drive thrusters slotted in for reverse? Im working on a reconfig to add dorsal thrust at the nose, so I may have to slot in some extra reverse while i'm at it if that's the case

Beautiful, but I'd update the blueprint to Core9 and add sufficient rear thrust. Try backing away from a fight at 12/ms w/ ammo weight and you'll understand why.

Thank's J'ee. Yeah, I think this stands a better chance of surviving the new CPU values of RG2 over some of my bigger builds such as the Judicator. And the ability to block in the nose with armor with help against the shield penetration mechanic

Nice look. Some of those cannon emplacements look a bit like Vermillion's upcoming cannon devices, like the ship could easily go to 2.0 RE when it's ready.

Thank you Logos, and thanks again Cap o7

Awesome, It's been fun watching you build this... Now to have a go.. :)

The Best mid-game mini Destroyer. Kudos! :-)

Nice looking work, looking forward to more like this. Thanks for your work!

Shield Upgrades and some Extra Turrets, the First Aux/Quant will go into Thrusters

Hell yea brother, awesome as usual! Beautiful block work!

Thats great to hear Exo. What did you spend the remainder of core 9 CPU on?

Only with the standard Spawn in setup it can bring some destruction to the Zirax, cant wait to get some Aux Cores/Quantums and Unleash its Full Potential

Thank you Alastria, Stan, Lyken, And veteran

Can't wait to bring this in and bring destruction on the Zirax Scumbags!!!

exelent work! Bruh...

Yeah, I'm gonna need to you to put down the creative mode for a while and just stop being so awesome. Thanks!

Subbed, love this ship design!
