It's Millennium Star. A CV super carrier :) https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2193423950

What is that base/landing pad in your 19th screenshot (third from the end). Seems lik a nice place to land all your ships. :)
MacShell 14 Feb, 2021 @ 6:56pm 
Awesome! certainly I will! :steamhappy:
icewolfen  [author] 14 Feb, 2021 @ 4:48pm 
Personally i use Millennium Eagle for that. It can easy take out drones, sunat and periat ships, but nothing bigger. I use it mainly for exploring and support when take out ground poi's on planets. But yeah it has a very small garden and no hangar and little RP-value. I don't wanna make The Black Pearl bigger. I feel Tanzanite covers that role. But converting it into a mid-late game explorer is a awesome idea :) I will see what i can do. If you join my discord, i can post some work in progress during the refit and you can come with some suggestions as i go :)

Awesome!!! This is one thing that I really miss in Reforged Cenarios. An all rounded explorer CV. There are some, of course, but always with a small side in some area, like small farm, no bedroom etc, properly done. It's an explorer CV! Should be a end game CV to the ones that wants right that, don't you think? Of course, as you said, it can't be a strong combat ship, that's ok, because the main focus is to explor the universe. So, it's weak against strong enemies, but it should be fast, good amount of cargo controllers, good farm, a warm bedroom, medical area and some weapons to face some drones and small ships. That is! Ah! You need windows!!! You are travelling the space to see the wonders of all places!!! A scientific observatory, maybe, with an amazing view? Whta do you think? The Black Pearl is a size 6. maybe a size 9 or even bigger. It should be an end game explorer CV, so no compromisses to the mains areas, but weaponry... What do you think? :steamhappy:
icewolfen  [author] 14 Feb, 2021 @ 3:53pm 
I might take a look at this one soon, convert it to hardened steel, move some thrusters, do proper protection against chain reaction and make it more like a multi role explorer CV that can handle light combat. But it will never be as powerful as in vanilla when it gets to combat, it's to small for that. Thanks for giving me the idea for a explorer CV MacShell :)
MacShell 14 Feb, 2021 @ 11:10am 
Very good! :)
icewolfen  [author] 14 Feb, 2021 @ 1:32am 
All the other reforged ships of mine is updated, but i need some more time on the Topaz :)
MacShell 13 Feb, 2021 @ 11:50pm 
Ouch! That's bad. I had the RF version of the destroyer sloted... Thnx for the warning!
icewolfen  [author] 13 Feb, 2021 @ 11:39pm 
Not sure if it will work without a insane rework. The destroyer took a lot of effort to convert and it's currently not useable in reforged after the 1.4 update.
MacShell 13 Feb, 2021 @ 6:30pm 
@icewolfen, any plans to make this version a reforged one? I see your shipyard has the destroyer version, but this one is so perfect to explorer! :)
icewolfen  [author] 17 Oct, 2020 @ 9:39pm 
Thanks a lot MacShell :)
MacShell 17 Oct, 2020 @ 7:05pm 
Ahhhh. Ok. Understood. This is my CV end game and exploration. Always the best choice for me. Great work!
icewolfen  [author] 17 Oct, 2020 @ 4:22pm 
The reason it's sideways is due to the xnor circuit. the gren and red on the lever itself means nothing, The LCD will tell u if thrusters are on or off. The reason i did it like that is to have several levers around the ship that can control the thrusters :) If u want to turn it, you can just use the multi tool and "change/rotate function :) then you don't have to mess with signal logic.
MacShell 17 Oct, 2020 @ 2:27pm 
Nope, in the bridge with the outside view. The "main thrust" lever. Am I wrong it that side way was meant to be? :)
icewolfen  [author] 15 Oct, 2020 @ 10:34pm 
Do u mean in the secure bridge? That's for turning on and off the repair bay.
MacShell 15 Oct, 2020 @ 9:47pm 
There is one lever to the left side in the bridge. I'm afraid to mess with all the Logic system :steamsad:

@R. Bennett among everything shreds Zirax CVs into pieces no problem, already got dozen+ frags. Next step is to test it in Legacy territiry... but i have a feeling bottleneck will be my piloting skills, not the ship agility and firepower - it's incredible
icewolfen  [author] 17 Aug, 2020 @ 12:55am 
Thanks R.Bennett! Have fun and enjoy the game ;)
R. Bennett 16 Aug, 2020 @ 11:06pm 
This is a beast of an endgame CV, cant wait to try her out!!! Great work sir!
icewolfen  [author] 25 Jul, 2020 @ 1:19pm 
Updated! Was just a leftover from the old IW Black Pearl, one hidden LCD i forgot to remove.
Fury Fairy 25 Jul, 2020 @ 12:53pm 
Always a pleasure, keep up the GREAT job!.. :fullstars:
icewolfen  [author] 25 Jul, 2020 @ 12:51pm 
@Fury Fairy thanks for the feedback :) will be perfected and updated within the next hours :)
icewolfen  [author] 25 Jul, 2020 @ 11:46am 
@Fury Fairy what's the name on the missing signal? :)
Fury Fairy 25 Jul, 2020 @ 7:04am 
@icewolfen hey man, discovered one minor bug with non-existing signals in Black Pearl, and I guess a fix for it as well. Added you to share screenshots - if you're interested, of course
icewolfen  [author] 22 Jul, 2020 @ 10:49pm 
@Ligator_swe Thanks :) i wish they will do some kind of manual control of landing gear in he future. But for the moment, it's kind of automatic. There is certain things that can deny you from docking. Both ships needs to be in the same faction. The Opal can't be docked to another CV while you dock the Pearl to it. And no vessels can be docked to the Pearl when you dock it to the Opal. Sometimes there has been a bug in the game. If you spawn in the ship in space, you might have to land on a planet at least once to get landing gear work properly.
Ligator 22 Jul, 2020 @ 7:56pm 
A very nice ship. Black Opal too. But there was no way to land the pearl on the opal. No switch to get the landinggears to function. They stay retracted when i land. There should be a way to fix that myself, I have to google tomorrow. Until then: is there a smart, good way to do so that is already on the ship?
**Asa** 20 Jul, 2020 @ 8:06am 
Glad to help Icewolfen and Eustanazias. I got the Opal today! Awesome ship..I am like a kid in candy store lol
icewolfen  [author] 20 Jul, 2020 @ 5:19am 
Thanks a lot @eustnazias :) and thank you for helping out @**Asa** i actually didn't know the meaning of that option in server settings :P
eustanazias 17 Jul, 2020 @ 10:33am 
thanks you verry much Asa :)

Icewolfen thank you so much for you great work,amazing ship
**Asa** 17 Jul, 2020 @ 9:49am 
If you are on a server, the server is set to Blueprint Spawn Limit "true" this make you spawn on a CV SV Pad. If you are single player. change that setting to "False'
Hope that help.
eustanazias 17 Jul, 2020 @ 8:17am 
Hi i have a little prob. i can't spawn it game tell me " you must spawn this objective on base " ? any advice pls ?
thanks you i'm so excited i wanna see it
icewolfen  [author] 13 Jul, 2020 @ 4:18pm 
@**Asa** thanks a lot :) glad you like it. I do know the drill turret is more effective, but i kind off enjoy using the drill lasers myself :P There must have been a little bug in the signal logic, the motion sensors get activated when XNOR signal is deactivated. When XNOR signal is active, the manual lever is engaged. When it's deactivated it disengages the manual lever and activates the motion sensor.
**Asa** 13 Jul, 2020 @ 3:59pm 
I found it, The censor for the back door was not active. As soon as I changed it to active, all works. No fault of yours at all, you know how downloading goes..lol. I do love this ship. The best I ever downloaded. I am playing on a server with CPU and weight on...This is the only CV I didn't have to change a thing. The way it handles is awesome. The mining is the first thing I did and the ship grinds away just perfect. Now off to collect materials to get that CV carrier you have !!
Thanks for the quick response, your a true artist!.
icewolfen  [author] 13 Jul, 2020 @ 3:44pm 
but the circuit is a XNOR, so it means, when it's green on the control panel it should be red on the lever and vice versa.
icewolfen  [author] 13 Jul, 2020 @ 3:41pm 
@**Asa** i have also used the ship a lot in single player without any problems.But the game itself is still in alpha and the focus is on single player.
icewolfen  [author] 13 Jul, 2020 @ 3:32pm 
@**Asa** i have had simular issues when heavy load on a server with several larger CV's. It don't work and in the next moment it works. Seems like some rendering issue withe motion sensors. Sometimes it helps to turn off and on the ship, sometimes just pulling the switches back and forth and maybe also open and close the hangar door. Have no idea why it happens. i had some issues with my own Black Pearl, but suddenly it was working and i haven't had any issues for more than a week. Hard to tell what it is. My IW Emerald have the same signal logic and the same hangar door. Never had any issue there, but that's only size class 3.
**Asa** 13 Jul, 2020 @ 3:02pm 
Icewolfen, I just got the ship built and I love it!. I do have a minor problem. The Hanger door don't work in auto mode. I does in single player, but on the server I'm on, it don't work. I have the signal on in the CP, and the hanger door light in the control panel (CP) is green. I still can't get it to work. Any tips?
icewolfen  [author] 9 Jul, 2020 @ 12:43am 
Thanks a lot CPT Dude! I feel you there, i started with Emerald on my current server, and i normally use the multi turret to dismantle a CV after i have build a new. But i just can't do that with Emerald. It's my faithful companion thru the beginning of my Alpha 12 adventure. If you loved Emerald, there is no doubt you will love the Black Pearl as well, it's way more superior in a lot of ways. But the design and solution is kind of similar.
CPT Dude 8 Jul, 2020 @ 4:38pm 
I built your Emerald ship and I love it! I have played for over 12 hours grinding mats just to build this one! I think I have enough. But I am loving the Emerald so much that I will be sad to say goodbye to it. But, If the Emerald is as amazing as it is, I can only imagine how much more amazing the Pearl is. Thanks man! Your builds factor in so much with thought and care. <3
icewolfen  [author] 6 Jul, 2020 @ 1:03pm 
@FIDO and @ChacalPereira Thanks a lot! :D
FIDO 6 Jul, 2020 @ 12:04pm 
Amazing work!!!
ChacalSinistro [TR Minas] 6 Jul, 2020 @ 11:53am 
Simple Fantastic!!!!
icewolfen  [author] 5 Jul, 2020 @ 1:41pm 
@**Asa** Thanks! Nice to hear! I know people have different play style, but sounds like we are not to far apart :) Yeah, instead of filling up the fridge with stuff that don't spoil anyway, i just use a medic box instead :)
**Asa** 5 Jul, 2020 @ 9:39am 
Well, It's time to get some material and build this BAD ASS SHIP !!. Great job. Every thing is just how I would want it. Controls for everything that is so easy. A medic box! Just how I have my base. Love ramps that you can make auto or manual. You thought of every thing!
Great Job Icewolfen
icewolfen  [author] 5 Jul, 2020 @ 7:49am 
@Fractalite Thank you very much :)
Fractalite 5 Jul, 2020 @ 7:24am 
Fantastic use of such a simple design. Nice work! Think I might ever try this puppy out today. :steamhappy:
Runebane 4 Jul, 2020 @ 9:37am 
LOL I should have known it would be simple ;) Thanks for the tip
icewolfen  [author] 4 Jul, 2020 @ 8:44am 
@Runebane Thanks a lot! This ship was released some weeks later than Amethyst. To add the same extra cargo controllers in Amethyst is very easy, i did put all the new cargo extentions in the hangar floor ;)
Runebane 4 Jul, 2020 @ 7:39am 
I have the Amethyst on our private server and this on my single player game. Honestly, I wish I had seen this before I did the Amethyst, the extra 320k cargo controller on this vs the Amethyst is awesome, with the same firepower. Now to figure out where you shoved it so I can retrofit ;) I salvage/horde way too much...

Awesome ships, both of them. They fit my play-style very well.
