CV Eris V6 - upgraded version of prefab CORE Patron V/Polaris. UL25/T4

Description
This is an old design that I keep coming back to. I first saw it as one of the prefabs in the game, now called the CORE Patron V. I started using it, and upgrading it, many versions ago. Somewhere around Alpha 10 I discovered the original designer's updated version in the Steam workshop and grabbed that version, then proceeded to gut it and rebuild it to add a shield. This is an Alpha 12 iteration of that design, now with a T4 CPU, much higher thrust and many more weapons.

I configured this ship to be fully self contained for long journeys, and to be capable of fighting in space or on a planet. I attack planetary bases often so all of the turrets but one are capable of firing on a planet.

Features:
  • Unlock Level 25
  • Enough thrust to handle 5G planets, and to go from 0 to 60m/s quickly during a vertical ascent from a 5G planet
  • Most hull blocks are hardened steel
  • Multiple properly ventilated airtight compartments
  • 15 grow plots
  • Ammo 64 kSU
  • 2 Cargo 320 kSU
  • 6 old style Cargo Boxes, two in HV bay, two on SV pad, two in center deck
  • 2 fridges and 2 food processors
  • 4 passenger seats
  • 6 pulse lasers
  • 18 turrets:
    • 1 artillery
    • 9 cannon
    • 8 sentry gun
  • Full set of medical equipment, including a shower
  • 2 advanced constructors
  • Internal HV bay, SV pad on top
  • T2 shield
  • T2 repair bay on SV pad
  • Armor locker and repair station
  • T4 CPU
  • Wireless
  • Detector

This is my sixth version, fully updated for A12.
  • Converted almost all the cargo boxes to cargo containers.
  • Removed a few deco capacitors which only have 50 hit points.
  • Some cosmetic updates to the interior.

Update 2020/07/21:
  • Some cosmetic changes to the outside, cleaning up the engine nacelles for the fore and aft XL thrusters. Also cleaned up the paintjob a little, there was a missed spot and some inconsitency between the sides.
  • Cleaned up the trailing edge of the wing and covered over the old mount points for the original thrusters.
  • That change allowed me to move four of the generators out to the wings and make the engineering spaces a bit more livable.
  • Extended the SV deck to eliminate a radiation hotspot from the warp drive. Removed the last two deco capacitors in the process.
  • Added four old style cargo boxes because Eleon still hasn't fixed the container system, and you can clog big containers up with non-stackable small items. There are now two on the center deck, two on the SV deck, and two on the HV deck.

The original designer is Mr.IceCat. His version (the Polaris) is here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=684872090

TWO THUMBS UP! Finally got enough resources to get'r done and certainly well worth it. I loaded it up and went after a level 4 zerex orbitor production base and then mid battle was alerted reinforcements were on there way in the form of a bunch of plasma drones....the ship never even blinked an eye...shields maintained above 60% until it was time to collect all the zerex loot! I love the updates and the efficient use of floor space. Still plenty of room for personal favs like a deconstructor in the HV hold etc. Well done on the IceCats original. If you loved the Polaris (who didn't) then you will certainly love Big Toads update. Well worth the time and effort to get the resources together. This one will put a smile on your face and is a keeper!! Thanks Bigtoad for all the effort and a job well done!

Like all of us we loved Mr IceCats original version but it needed version 12 updating. Glad to see you took the time to keep the original style and fantastic floor layout from the original. Can't wait to get to level 25 and try it out. I will post again once I get it out in the universe.
