Ravenna Ice RE2 (Rich Ice Miner CV)

Welcome,

Background and Developement:
Role: Dense and Rich Ice mining easy, fast and optimized in a large scale
Priority order: max mining, mobility, efficiency, Cargo, small, design

I needed a ship to collect Dense and Rich Asteroid fields as fast as possible. At this point i have to say that i love Ente's Exhumer the most but i wanted a smaller, more efficient and maneuverable vessel.

Ravenna Ice has been developed and improved to version 3 over a year. It comes with all Equipment for players needs, got one Exit down, another one up and for my personal satisfaction one direct in front of the captains seat.
If you don't like the graphic effect on forcefields, just remove the forcefield and fit in a Window.
Some weapon fire can go through forcefields althought an activated shield - i never had problems in space.

Rear Tech section is over all separated by a Xeno wall and fully accessable through a Blast door (Cockpit, CPUs are mostly save).
To keep it small and agile the Generators, Warp, Tanks, Shield aren't protected against each other in case of an explosion but the expensive front section.
She got internal Turbines wich give more reserve to travel far distances to and between your favourite Region of Asteroid fields (i.e. The Solitude).

She can hold and handle massive ammounts of Ice, Water and all Stuff from the Roid fields. Each of the 2 deconstructors has its own 320k harverster and 640k Cargospace.
Harvesting Rich Ice fields may pay attention to some common Drones. Your 50k Shield, Armored Hull and some Miniguns should take care of em. Just avoid hostile CVs / Bases or specialized Drones in Legacy and Drone Space.


Thanks to Ripley and my friends for countless ideas, solutions and impressions in ship building :)

Depending on where you're based, you can usually find quite a few 'exotic' systems, which have infectors/decimators/devastaters and usually nets me all of the quantums I need without needing to warp off to Sea of Silence. Just in case this helps anyone. Usually find this easier than looking for drones tbh

I've been off a while, sry.
For me its easier to find and grab some drone parts - simply haven't found a good source for these Quants yet as the Tovera got buffed and is more challenging solo.
i don't like gound POIs at all! Maybe thats why
But you got a "flex" version now with prepared Slots for any type of CPU to place after spawning as someone wants to :)

Is there a reason for choosing an Aux CPU over the standard Superior to push it to core-9? As I see it, the superior will net you far more CPU for only 2 quants as opposed to the 250 drone parts required for the Aux. Still learning Empyrion, does the Aux bring anything special with its lower CPU yield?

well the sad note is RE2 is locked to T1 core from digging its hard coded pretty deep into the files cause i cant find it just like the weapon limits

and i replaced all the thrusters and added some more to my liking

I hope your ship will do well then :steamthumbsup :)
I've been on a test trip and can't find anything bad when upgraded to Core 9.
The only thing could be some thruster upgrades when you are in range of stronger CPU Extenders like Qs. That should keep its maneuverability when Storage is getting full.

oh ima jam this ship full to the outer hull with RE2 tech for sure
