Excallibur Carrier

A ship developed for my current single player play-through to haul small grid ships from place to place. As part of the challenge the ship was completed in survival, with every block being hand welded.

Mods used:
- Defence Shields V1.9
- OKI Grand Weapons Bundle
- High Power Spotlights


The ship features a large internal hangar area, comprising of a main centre hangar, and hangar bays in both nacelles, along with space to park ships. The centre and nacelle hangars are connected by ship parking areas. I've tested the ship with 15 small grid ships inside, with room still left over for additional ships. The hangar area is also large enough to allow ships to be moved around easily, without having to shuffle ships around at all. There is numerous (19) connectors within the hangar bay to provide charging/refuelling of ships as needed. The hangar bay is airtight and has multiple vents to allow for quick pressurisation, and sixteen O2 tanks are on board to allow the hangar bay to be completely presssurised many times without running low on oxygen. External vents are provided for topping up the O2 tanks in atmosphere easily.

An additional upper landing deck with two connectors is provided for additional ships, to allow ships to pick/up drop off cargo without having to depressurise the hangar bay.


The carrier features two complete thruster systems, one hydrogen powered, and one with ion thrusters. In testing on the moon, the ship has no issue with operating solely on the ion thrusters alone, even with ships and some cargo on board. Fourteen hydrogen tanks are fitted, with 24 H2/O2 generators for quickly turning ice into useable fuel. Six jump-drives are also onboard, and allow for a trip between the moon and Europa to happen in a single jump. Primary power generation is provided by eight large reactors.

During testing the ship has performed trips from homebase on the moon to Earth where it landed, took off and reached orbit without issue. It has also been tested on Europa, Titan and Mars where it has performed well.


In terms of defence the ship relies primarily on its shields, and its ability to offload large amounts of ordinance onto attacking targets. The ship features the following weaponry:

Fixed weapons:
4x 180mm Hyper-X Explosive Driver
2x 75mm Hyper-P Penetrator Driver
6x 200mm Rocket Launchers
4x 230mm Battle Cannons
4x 50mm Stormguns

Weapons Turrets:
8x 230mm Battle Cannons
8x 50mm Stormguns
6x 122mm Assault Guns
10x 50mm Burst Cannons
6x 200m Missle Turrets
14x Gatling Turrets

Initial weapons testing was up against an Oban Tide from Modular Encounters, with the enemy ship taking a large amount of damage very quickly, while the Excallibur came out completely unscathed.


There are ten large cargo containers onboard, along with two upgraded refineries, and two upgraded assemblers. Four medbays are provided to make topping up suit power, O2 and H2 more convenient.

The ship also features a full interior with cockpit, command center, server room, bio lab, mess hall, captain's quarters, two sets of officer's quarters, two sets of crew quarters and two cryo chamber rooms. Stairs and hallways allow easy access to all areas of the ship from the engineering decks at the bottom of the ship to the landing pad at the top.
