Icarus - Reforged Eden

Description
Built for Reforged Eden 1.6!

Type: Fighter/Bomber
Tier 4, 100.036 CPU (4 Aux Cores required, not included in the bp)
Size Class: 1 (0,95)
Unlock Level: 25

Built for CPU, and unobstructed thrusters


The Icarus Fighter/Bomber is an extremely maneuverable, unarmored, hit-and-run SV. Charge in, unleash hell, dodge until your Torpedos are ready to hurt again. Run if your shield goes low. A couple Turrets to keep shields down while torps are recharging.


Out of the box it comes without any additional equipment. The core storage however is quite large, unless you run with a full Modulated Pulse Lasers setup you can put some equipment in there in addition to the necessary aux cores, should you miss something. Fuel tanks are rather small, be sure to pack some additional fuel cells in storage if you plan to go on a longer trip. There are also marked spaces for additional generators (2 behind the shield generator).

Weapon layout is set up to fight CVs, adapt to suit your own needs and playstyle.

Weapons:
2 Torpedo Launchers
4 Minigun Turrets
10 Laser Cannons
8 Railguns

Equipment:
wifi
Jumpdrive
1 x 32k Ammo controller
2 x Storage boxes

Update 04.12.2021: rework to increase survivability and upgradeability. See Change Log for details. Stat screen is updated, the remaining ones still show the old weapon layout. As a sideeffect now is compliant with RE Weapon limits.

Ah the torps: those are still available. But the launchers cannot be build in a constructor. You can only get them via upgrade from the bomb launcher. Or if it is in a factory bp, like this one.

Thanks!

Well concerning the materials, you have to be aware that adding a single layer of armor on a sv won't help much against anyting that is powerful enough to get through your shields in the first place.
If you want to tank on armor, you have to add a lot of it. If you do that, the ship will no longer be a quick fighter, but a slow one. My Harrow MK2 for example follows that idea.

The Icarus here is a shield fighter that only has a bare minimum of armor, and changing the thin hull it has to combat steel will not save you. If your Shield is gone, you're dead. Easy as that.
It allows the ship to be as mobile as it is, but that´s the price you pay for the mobility. The bigger issue (than the choice of material) is really that it isn't yet updated for the new shield upgrades. That's still on the todo list.

The invisble blocks that don't let you place stuff are a game bug. Needs to be fixed by Eleon, nothing I can do about that.

Fun to fly, for a paper ship. All made of container extenders, very little hardened steel or combat steel. Also after spawning in, it has two dead spots that contain nothing, but won't let a block be placed. Be ready for a lot of work to harden this baby up.

That's a pretty bird, alright.

This is currently my reforged combat ship, has performed nicely, just upgraded to heavy shields on it. Strafing is a little sluggish but its so fast elsewhere it doesn't matter. Recommend! :)

@ProcyonLotor and JafMix: Thanks!

@corda: It requires the Reforged Eden scenario. In Vanilla you will get the forbidden block message.

Says it contains forbidden blocks?

A nice look and A pleasure to fly

Beautiful looking ship ! Looks powerful too. I like that it offers many fixed weapons placement possibilities. It has a jumpdrive too. Very nice.
