Description
The Astral Drake is a highly upgradable battlecruiser. The build spawns in lightly armed and equipped, though once upgraded it turns into a bastion of both offense and defense.

The Phoenix Starworks Astral Drake

Coming in at a core 9 for RE2, the build has potential to house CPU well past standard max core, and the internal compartment space to accomodate a wide range of devices.



Hello kindred Empyrion spirits!

Let me start with a request; please respect blueprint authors. Often it takes months to finesse a build, and to have it ripped and reuploaded without permission or even so much as credit, can be discouraging, often pushing such authors away from the community.

I personally don't mind critical feedback, and constructive criticism, as it will serve me to better my builds. However, If you enjoy my content, and there is much more to come, respect my (and others) authorship of these massive timesinks. Thank You.

HOW TO CHANGE THE COLOR SCHEME

1. First copy the desired color code found either here, or inside the Sarissa's compartment with control C.
2. While looking at the ship with color/texture tool out, right click to open texture palette, then click configure.
3. Your green selection box should be over the top left color. If not, left click it to select.
4. Now while holding down shift, left click the bottom right color box, then in the left UI box, hit paste.
5. Once done, your new palette should apply, but to lock it in you have to hit OK under the color palette box.

Armament

Coming in modestly armed with a pair of heavy plasma mounts, 4 light cannon mounts, and 2 each of missle and gatling turrets, the Drake can ramp up its firepower as you invest CPU. The platform can hold a max configuration of turrets, and a wide assortment of heavy mounts, as well as a LX-2 Thor Railgun.

Armor

Astral Drake has a number of armored compartments available to protect its core devices. In addition to this, the twin nose can be block-filled to make the battlecruiser a belligerent behemoth against the staunchest opponents.


Thrusters

The build spawns in sluggish, but with a number of provisioned add-on placements for Drive Thrusters, the player can choose to invest CPU into making it more agile.


Storage

The Drake comes stock with 3x 320k ammo, a 320k Harvest, and 6x 160k cargo (upgradable), in addition to a number of supplemental cargo boxes


Lore and History

Customers of the Phoenix Starworks brand pressed the vendor for a line of ships that could house and support their line of starfighters, as well as be able to engage the toughest opponents. The Astral Drake would be the first in a line of combat CV's, and serve as the flagship of their fleets.

LyfeForse Thanks I really appreciate the info.
LyfeForse  [author] 5 Sep @ 5:29pm 
General rule of thumb is Xeno Steel vs Legacy ships, and Combat Steel vs high tier Zirax such as Tovera.

How much to fill, and which block type will be entirely up to what your playstyle is. If you want to hit and fade to recharge shields, then you may not need to invest so much block fill.

If you intend to trade blocks with your target, having invested your CPU into weapons instead of shield extenders etc., then you should definitely adhere to the first comment rule of thumb.

I tested the blockfill setup vs a Tovera, stationary vs stationary, and a full Xeno fill lasted roughly 1/3rd to 1/4th the duration of a Combat Steel config. Of course thats with both ship stationary, but gives some barometer.

Also word of wisdom; stock up on the space drones and throw those things by the dozens at your enemy. They do wonders to mitigate damage to your ship by drawing fire.
Kryteck 5 Sep @ 11:06am 
Excellent job on this. I would like to add the armour and would like to know what you would recommend as blocks. Xeno or combat steel. Also if you would not mind explaining if I should space the armor or not.

I am working on a smaller combat CV that resembles this :steamthumbsup:
Dayne 26 Aug @ 4:17am 
It's a beautiful ship. Wish it was like half the size tho - Would be cool if you made a pure combat version of the ship.

Thank you Commander and HoneyfnB!

@Honey You think this is a frame dropper, wait till you see this next monster im working on :)
HoneyfnBadger 27 Jul @ 7:43am 
Very nice frame dropper, layout on the inside is well done for quickly getting around a ship of this size. Can take good punishment too. Dume light cruiser was my go to but now it has been replaced XD. A weeks grind to craft this lil tax collector, the zirax owes a lot in back taxes too.
