PvP - Elysium Raider v.3

The Plains of Elysium was a PvP Server. Being a PvP server it had few rules and could be a brutal place to play. The Rules were simple, all ship had to be beacon-ed, no spawn ramming and 25 utilities (drills, welders, grinders) per ship/station. Other than that anything went. And this ship was just one of many the many ship you would have once found on that server.


The Elysium Raider began her life as a standard Rescue #2 (spawn ship) it belonged to a friend who used it as a Forward Operation Base (FOB) while taking enemy station. One night after we had just taken out the defenses of an enemy base and began the process of looting the place. I began modifying her.

Originally I was simply going to slap a few large cargo container on her with a connector so we could quickly loot the base and be on our way. But then the engineer in me took over and I modified the ship into what we see today.

Even though the Plains of Elysium is now gone, I still would update the Raider from time to time, in case I jumped back into PvP. This will be the third and finial incarnation of the Elysium Raider, mainly do to the fact I had to extend the length of the hull to accommodate everything on this last build. And when you start lengthening you ship its time to build a bigger one.

v.3 - Several updates have been made to make the ship survival ready.

- Improved point defense system (interior turrets shoot players and missiles at 300 m)
- Replaced the ventral Gatling turret with a Missile turret
- Added Oxygen generator, tank and farms (hooked up to cryopods and medical bays along with the main cockpit)
- Added two cryopods to the lower cabin
- Added a laser antenna
- Added an extra assembler and added modules to the assemblers and refinery

- Added a jump drive with the latest update!

All in all I packed a lot of hardware into a tight space. The Raider make a good FOB for raiding base, plus it's good for doing work away from your main base such as building outposts or just to have as an insurance policy (never know when you may lose a base).

I hope you all enjoy the third version of the Elysium Raider!
