Janus - Reforged Eden

In 1 collection by Ente

13 items
Description
Built for Reforged Eden 1.9!

Type: Early Game CV / Frigate
Core 2, 384.290 CPU
Size Class: 4 (4,27)
Unlock Level: 12

Built for CPU and unobstructed thrusters

Length 88 m
Weigth 2,99 kt

The Janus is a relatively small frigate for the early game. It is built with upgradeability in mind and comes with markings for additional turrets, cpu upgrades and thrusters. The antennas can be removed to get space for fixed weapons. Shield generator has enough space to replace it with a bigger one. Upgrading generator capacity may require the removal of some fluff. There are LCDs in the ship that provide some directions on where to put upgrades to keep or even improve the look.

Only light armor, so not a good ship for mid- or lategame fights.

Resource Requirements:
See screenshot. It's expensive, so you may want a SV with a jump drive to get the necessary resources first if you take this as your Starter CV.

Equipment:
1 Advanced Constructor
Full Med-Tools
1 Food Processor
2 Fridges
1 Offline Protection
2x 320K storage (1 Harvest, 1 Ammo)
3 Minigun Turrets
Fluff! Very important!

Update 21.10.2021
Rework to help with upgradeability and flexibility:
- Added lots of LCDs & Markings to explain update possibilities. Most of these are hidden in the maintenance areas, so they shouldn't be too annoying. Recommend still to throw them out once you read them.
- Reworked the Main Engine Housings to allow upgrading to Advanced Thrusters
- Bigger Med Bay, now with full medtools
- Marked areas for CPU upgrades
- Rearranged thrusters to give more turn speed, instead of having a full lift centered setup. Still a slow boat, but should be a little less annoying now.
- Removed the Hydroponic pods from the blueprint, just add them yourself once you have them. Or don't, the LCD for the area lists some alternative ideas for a setup once you got the CPU for it.
- Replaced some of the fluff on the upper hull that was sometimes blocking the turrets

Update 03.03.2023: Small facelift to bring the looks a bit up to modern standards. Screenshots not updated.


LCDs are modifications from sulusdacors LCD Library, so a big thanks to him for his amazing work!

I did some rework to make this usable in RE2. I removed the layer of blocks where the solar panels have been and put hardened steel blocks in. This frees up some space below and additionaly I removed carbon blocks below to fit in 8 turbines (4+4) above the hangar area.
Sadly it looks not too nice inside but it works.

The Solar Wanderer is sadly completely brocken and dont fit the new damage system at all. I really liked that CV as a starter.

But the Janus comes with hardened steel on the outer hull.
I think I will replace the upper front windows with armoured windows too.

For usability in the midgame game in RE2, I dont know.

But for safer early exploring and and as a mobile base it should work.

And it still looks fantastic :)

I've been using this ship for a number of weeks now, and it's great ship to work with and modify. Thank you for making it, it's a very good looking and functioning ship. I renamed her Janice though since I kept calling it that. With my additions she looks a bit like a magnet you threw into a box of scrap parts as it has maxed out big and small mobile solar now, but she's been a lovely ship. Thx again.

I used this ship to visit every faction's territory in RE. Before I had endgame warp too. Thousands of LYs. 100's of jumps. Got her stuck on plasma and midnight planets. Built my way off both times. Ended up with a high gravity endgame Janus. Captured turrets all over it. I then turned it into a miner after all that. Best ship I ever had.

I plan to use it again.

That is one gorgeous screenshot!
Concerning airleak, there are currently some shenanigans going on with airtightness. Might have to have a look at it.

I took a "Wallpaper worthy" screenshot if anyone is interested.

I am using this ship.I found an air leak where the front ramp is . I fixed it by removing the ramp and putting a wall and door between the constructor and ellavater and that fixed the leak.I like the Janus

Heh thanks striker. Feel free to educate me, I am always happy to learn a bit on military stuff. ;)

That said, the stuff I build is more fueled by whatever I just consider cool to build at the specific moment and not on what a "real life space military" would need.

Ente man you design beautiful ships dont get me wrong man but you are not much of a military thinker
