It did make her a tad slower turning (to be expected) but it did boost warp carrying capacity by roughly 25 Tons. I can now warp carrying 75T. (and to be frank, the ONLY reason I made these modifications is so I could warp to asteroid fields/space stations so I could pilfer salvage CV parts to restore a derelict CV from the minefield). No modifications needed ATM, IMO. Getting half of 10 RCS CPU's back w/A12 (not to mention weight reductions of carried items) should do quite nicely in this case to only swap out some of those rear M's for T2 versions. I was just impatient. :-)

@SLI_Fallen Some good proposals there and will def take them into consideration when the time comes. Your improvements make good sense in the current flight model so well done for keeping her flying in these tough times!

I dumped 2 of the (side) Jet II thrusters (filled holes with carbon composite blocks), 2 RCS, 1 fridge and swapped two of the rear base Thruster M's for upgraded T2 versions, and i'm under T3 budget by 1 CPU point, lol. Reasonable trade off...for me. :-D
SLI_Fallen 5 Mar, 2020 @ 5:32am 
Thanks! I know it's asking a LOT, as this is a VERY nice ship, but trying to warp with even 50T (half the weight capacity) is right at the edge of that speed goal. (to get to 30ms to successfully warp) Need bigger engines on the rear (or more of current engine) but without going to T4. Have to stick with the 2 block deep ones as anything larger would just turn this beauty into swiss cheese lol . So getting some of that T3 CPU capacity back will be most welcome here! :-)

@SLI_Fallen Completely agree with you. I will be evaluating the very day they release A12 so let's keep fingers crossed!
SLI_Fallen 4 Mar, 2020 @ 12:19pm 
Hopefully with A12, HV/SV RCS CPU cost is being dropped, this ship should be (fully) T3 Compliant with Warp/Pentaxid Tank and Shield installed (right now it's not. Sits at 92% efficiency with all those in place)

@Draukadin Thank you!

Saw "Dorthy" on Spanj's channel and had to come over and subscribe because that kind of lift capacity is something my operation could really use. Awesome job Red Baron

@TerryBeer16 Thank you so much! "Dorothy" is doing very well! :steamhappy:

Very, very awesome! I love this SV I saw it on spanj's series and I fell in love with it instantly! As all of your designs it is very sexy!
Red Baron  [author] 2 Oct, 2019 @ 9:17am 
@bobo8734 Big thanks for that glowing review! Really pleased you're enjoying it and found an excellent use with it in the game. And such generosity to other players! +Rep to you Sir!
Red Baron  [author] 2 Oct, 2019 @ 9:14am 
@DJDAD That's an Air Guitar Thanks to you!

Just a follow-up to my first post on this: I built one in my survival game and put it through its paces. For the cost, this is an excellent design. I have built several of them to carry one around on my CV and give to players who run into trouble and/or need a hand up. This is a great little ship! Highly recommended, especially in the early game!
DJDAD 1 Oct, 2019 @ 1:09pm 
This thing Rocks! My favorite SV by far. Awesome job!

@S1Ndrome Downside to a custom server :( Maybe try SP with Project Eden scenario. It's very good
Grey Frenzy 24 Sep, 2019 @ 9:20pm 
Here is a link to my Modded design with Drone Hatch,Open cockpit +windshield. built as a drop ship so no warp. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1872092652
S1Ndrome 24 Sep, 2019 @ 9:08pm 
i tried spawning it in a server (HWS) but it shows that it need raw diamond as a component in factory :/
Red Baron  [author] 24 Sep, 2019 @ 3:20am 
@Grey Frenzy Thanks! It's a good thing to mod designs to fit your needs and play style. Sounds like you did a good job! Happy for you to upload the design and look forward to seeing it
Grey Frenzy 23 Sep, 2019 @ 8:21pm 
loved the style and roomy interior..i play alot of coop and multi-player with my wife ..did not need the warp capablity as it would primary as a drop ship from a CV..so i modded ..the front removing the closed cockpit..installed a windshield, pilot seat and 2 passenger seats..stayed true to the design and was very surprised at how well it turned out..if you dont mind i will upload it ..giving your design props for the inspiration

Thanks bobo!
bobo8734 23 Sep, 2019 @ 12:49pm 
Very slick - nice and simple. Perfect for early game.
Red Baron  [author] 23 Sep, 2019 @ 3:41am 
Thanks Payden! Good idea modding for the drone hatch. A very useful addition :)
Payden 22 Sep, 2019 @ 3:32pm 
Very nice build! Great size with an inexpensive entry price and plenty of upgrade options. I did add a drone hatch, tired of getting sniped while drone drilling in the early game :) Thanks.

@Kula808 Thankyou!
Red Baron  [author] 22 Sep, 2019 @ 9:24am 
@jrandall Many thanks and greatly appreciated!
jrandall 22 Sep, 2019 @ 9:18am 
Great looking SV with a cool color scheme and good function. Awesome work!
Kula808 22 Sep, 2019 @ 9:07am 
Good looks! Nice design , upgrade as u go is always useful.

Thanks R11YYN!

Nice work Red
Red Baron  [author] 22 Sep, 2019 @ 6:10am 
Brilliant! I very much look forward to seeing it!
DarkFall 22 Sep, 2019 @ 6:05am 
I am actually doing an original with the same textures and colors as your series. It's a smaller, more early game base, but with room to grow. If it looks even slightly presentable, you'll see it.
Red Baron  [author] 22 Sep, 2019 @ 6:01am 
Awesome thanks so much! It's a very cool base so I'm very confident it will still be in top rated for quite a while yet. A sneaky product pitch may well be finding it's way here ;)
DarkFall 22 Sep, 2019 @ 5:56am 
Added some "product placement" shots to my ARCH BP so people take notice. It'd be cool to see you have the whole series in the top rated, even if it does knock me out of it...
Red Baron  [author] 22 Sep, 2019 @ 5:54am 
@DarkFall Thanks man! Really appreciated. Get the BBQ ready we're coming in hot for some Spider Steaks and Beer! :steamhappy:
Red Baron  [author] 22 Sep, 2019 @ 5:52am 
@Wildboy Thank you so much! Great of you to say and much appreciated. This SV will be in Spanj's Project Eden run through on You Tube so do sub to his channel and let's see how he gets on with the Kargo! :steamhappy: Happy Surviving!
DarkFall 22 Sep, 2019 @ 5:47am 
I heard a rumor this was spotted getting ready to enter my new base and it brought friends... Great looking SV, I love the whole series!
wildboy 22 Sep, 2019 @ 4:57am 
Very nice SV love the colors and space to upgrate. This can very well be a prefab in a next patch, low amount of resource needed, and those are easy to find with the Hovva HV another great build of Red Baron.
Red Baron  [author] 21 Sep, 2019 @ 8:13am 
Thanks rootzij! Hope you enjoy it and stay safe out there! ;)
rootzij 21 Sep, 2019 @ 2:20am 
Really Nice, Red good job. plenty of room elegant design. Can't wait to try it.
