Ammo Capacity: 18 Large Containers
Hangar Capacity: 11 Osprey Gunships or equivalents

The Chimera was created to be a raiding vessel. It is relatively manueverable for its class, and like the Hydra, it carries gunships for the purpose of taking over enemy ships. A very generous amount of weaponry allows the Chimera to blow away enemy armor and make holes for these gunships to enter through and drop off their troops. The gunships can be traded out for fighters or bombers, and the Chimera can function as a heavily armed carrier. The only weaknesses of the Chimera are that it does not have as much ammo capacity as the Basilisk or Kestrel, or the hangar capacity of the Wyvern.

The Chimera was created to embody agressive tactics. It is not designed to stay in battle long due to its relatively low ammo storage vs its high amount of turrets, but this is because it is meant to end the threat quickly with large bursts of damage and deadly strike craft. Chimera captains have even been known to fly into battle, exhaust all their ammunition, and then spear enemy ships with the forward facing wings.

the design was inspired by the look and feel of Helghast ships from killzone. as always i made it a bit sleeker for my own tastes, but i wanted to still capture the aggressive feel of those ships as well

All good sir. Sorry for my own harshness in that last post as well.

While I am a fan of EVE's universe, birds have always been a theme of my creations, so the names naturally mimic Caldari. Of course, I ran out of most of the good birds after a while, so i delved into dragons and mythology, where you get some Minmatar crossovers too.

ya it was a long hard day of work then stubbled across ur mod , really good ships , was just replyin to another comment i saw down below , Some of your ship designs look like the eve ships tho in all reality , the names are mixed up , was merely commenting that you should name them like thier eve counter parts so people know that the rook is a rook like eve not just a random name , just ignore me i work alot lol , there was one guy that was doing an eve mod for starmade that looked really nice he had different guns shields ect built into turrets and docking modules tat you could swap out like the t3 cruisers from eve , looked nice , i love most of you designs as well was just clearing up a comment i posted lol

EVE doesnt have a trademark on these names, they have existed for centuries. birds, mythology, etc. and names like "chimera" are present in many universes outside of EVE because it's a mythological creature, not just an EVE ship or Imperial Guard transport vehicle in 40k. the majority of my ships are named after birds and legendary birds or flying creatures which i pulled directly from a list of such on wikipedia. their shared name with EVE is one of coincidence, and although in a few cases i used EVE for name inspiration, it still doesn't matter because EVE never made up the names anyway. by your logic, the Caldari Raven should be black and look like a crow, because that's what the real life Raven looks like. or a Falcon should look like an F-16 because that came before EVE.

ya i dont know why people use the eve ship names then bugger the ships up , just odd not only this guy but lots of people do it , like his nidhogger design doesnt look anything like a nidhogger just confuses you the rook isnt at all like the rook , its like hes the only one that ever plays eveonline lol , the rook is the t2 variant of the moa black with red strips bad ass looking and very effective recon assualt , unlike the cloaking falcon nothing like popping out and jamming 5-6 ships , hmm space eng. needs cloaks lol muahahaha

@austinwalters001 its not a blueprint its a whole world, from the mainscreen go into the "workshop" tab find the chimera in the list and hit "copy and load"

Im a huge noob at this, but I subscribed to this, as it looks amazing, but I cant find it in blueprints and don't know how else to put it in the game. Any way you could help me with that?
