IW Red Berryl T3 V1 lvl 17

Description
I feel POI's in Alpha 12/Version 1.0 is harder to take down than Alpha 11 and i wasn't happy with my old fighter.
So i rebuild IW Ruby to a all round SV, specialized to take down POI'turrets.

I didn't want to go past T3 CPU but it's easy to upgrade to T4 if you want more weapons or thrust.
The current state of this ship is far from a heavy T4 fighter, more like a cheaper mid game T3 allrounder with some special fighting abilities. If you want a heavier fighter, you can always check out "IW Diamond Star" in my workshop.


It have 4 plasma and 2 gatling. Mainly because of CPU limit.
But there is 4 marked spots for more weapons, and by changing the existing you can balance the CPU to your need, or just upgrade to T4. You can also remove warp drive and constructor to get more CPU to play with.

This vessel have way more reverse thrust than any other directions.
The benefit of this is to quickly back out when shields start to go down.

The way i use it is to aim at a turret, fly towards it and fire of the plasma weapons. When shield starts go down, i just reverse, recharge the shield and repeat. Took out 6 Zirax POI's lvl 5-7 in a row without taking damage, but i did almost empty my pentaxid tank.

Easy to dock HV's on both under and overside.

Extended nose in front of cockpit to make docking of HV easier and to lower the chance of falling down when exiting cocpit.

No need for dedicated drone hatch. roof is made in a way that allows you to deploy drone and fly out rear exit.
Secondary cockpit for field operations inside the SV. And access to front cockpit from inside as well.

DrCoras have made a version for Reforged Galaxy, can be found here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2212484158

Thank you very much R. Bennett :) Very smart remake you did! Good idea to remove the warp, when your CV has warp anyway.

I must admit this is a SUPER SV!!! Im still on starter planet and dont have much Erestrum for plasma weapons, so went into creative, just made a couple changes. Needed to take POIs out, so since she can dock with my CV to do the warping to other systems, removed that warp drive and removed the constructor and the plasma cannons..... Now.... I then added 2 more gatlins, 2 130 H-MSLs, and 2 Rail Guns, as they outrange most other weapons. I then took this Franken-Ruby into a test survival game and turned up the difficulty another notch harder than I ususally play. This lady TORE through a 3 base triangle setup easy peasy!!! She never got into structure, just backed her out to let shields regen when they got low and usually sniped out of THEIR range with the Rails! She is extremely agile and I really love how she has both internal AND external armored cocopit! Great mid game SV for me!

Great work ICEWOLFEN!

Thanks a lot R. Bennett :) This vessel helped me a lot with taking down POI's in early-mid game.

AWESOME!!! definintly gonna try this!!

I tried to upgrade the thrust more, but then the vessel got heavier, and i needed more thrust, an evil circle :P so i just kept it as a mid-late game multipurpose SV with extra reverse thrust and built the Diamond Star. I make sure they fit on my own CV's but there is a lot of CV's on the workshop and some like to make their own. Have fun playing, i highly recommend placing the T4 extentions under the fuel tanks in the cabin, if you remove the fuel tanks inside, and you get seriously hit, the other tanks might blow up and you fell down ;)

Thanks for the info. I found the Diamond star too long for the hanger bay on my CV, whereas the Red Berryl fits well, hence looking to upgrade it to T4

I have not done any changes to the thrust on the one i'm using in survival, but i have upgraded it to T4 to have more options on the weapons

@fantomas the weapons i have used the most is probably plasma for turrets and lasers when taking down shield on poi. But after i made the IW Diamond Star, i haven't really used the Red Berryl that much. The Diamond Star is able to handle more hits when the shield is down. The weapon choice depends on several things, in single player i might use railguns and rockets, but on a server where i experience lagging and it's harder to aim, i prefer plasma.

@Icewolfen you mentioned having upgraded this to a T4. Curious as to what weapon loadout you found works well and any other changes you ended up making.

@TalonofWindspeak If you like my work, i highly recommend IW Emerald as a starter CV and then IW Black Pearl MKII if your playing solo. I have a tank i'm considering publishing. i did take out a shielded drone base by parking my tank close to the POI and then jumped out to get killed, Respawned in my cv and jumped in my sv to take out the rest of the turrets. The tank took down the shield for me :P
