IW Vanguard Explorer (Reforged)

Built for The Anvils June Challenge "Star Trek inspired builds"
This ship is inspired by the Pathfinder class.


It's stripped down a lot on CPU and built to be heavily upgraded as you progress in the game.

The intention with this vessel was to build a multi purpose vessel for mainly planetary exploration and fun.
Can handle smaller threats just fine. Never intended to or tested for heavy combat, but with some upgrades to shield and weapons it should be doable.

If your looking for a Star Trek inspired ship more focused towards combat,
feel free to check out IW Eliminator

I would recommend spawning it in Reforged Creative Studio or Reforged Eden creative mode before building it in game. That way it's easier for you to upgrade the ship beforehand, if you already have a quantum/aux or two to put in on your server/save game.

Tutorial Video for Upgrading the Vessel

Had to remove 4 Drive thrusters to get it below 2.1million CPU.
Still operates decent but I recommend adding them back once you have the needed CPU to get full potential from the ship.
Feel free to ask in the comment section below if you have any questions regarding the intended path of upgrading the ship. Or you find things that should be improved.
