I was getting a message that one of the thrusters was obstructed; it turns out that the small triangle piece to the left of the boarding ramp was considered blocking the rear thruster it was in front of (despite visibly being 99% clear)...

What do you use the Sentry Guns for?

@andi9x17 You have to connect your toolbar to your ships inventory, it's done by clicking the ''electric plug'' icon which is between your inventory and your ships inventory when having the window open. Your toolbar will turn yellow which means it's now connected, and you can drag the heavier items to the toolbar from the ships inventory to place them. Pressing ''T'' will toggle between the connected toolbar and your own toolbar

ehm...I am a noob. Pls helop me out. How do I modify a CV when My inventory can't hold 4 t stuffs?

Awesome build man!

@Tarsis thanks for your kind comment. Yeb, I will try some new industrial stuff.after finishing up some of new battle ship. Tovera is now much stronger than before.because of its shield adjustment, so need to find new combat strategy & optimized ship. Maybe.I will mix industrial concept for the new carrier :).

Had a great play using this as my first CV. It grew nicely until late midgame in RE. Great job! I love the asymmetrical interior layout! I think you really did great with the industrial look and prefer it over your shiny combat ships, I'd like to see some more Space Wanderer industrial.

@AgentWarfare, yes, the only reason I put mech drill is due to the level limit. (lvl 15), so you can actually replace it with drill turret after lvl 20. I'll leave the mech drill as it is, but great suggestion :)

Great ship, although the drills for the front aren't the best option. Found the drill turret to destroy asteroids faster. Threw on some artillery, and with its mobility it is great for dangerous mining ops.

@kel_varton, Good to hear that you are using this ship well. I added one more screen shot to show the back part. Actually, upward two M Thrusters and one backward large thruster are enough. I would say Side ones are optional because of CPU limit. Sorry for the confusion.

Really liking this so far. Anyway you could post a picture of the back, upgraded? Or maybe just explain it to me. It's kind of a mess in the thruster area. Is it 2 MT down and then a LT on each side, and back? Thanks.

@Dadrick Thank you for your kind comment :) Yeb, it ended up being a mining CV while I was trying to reduce the weight to be less than 1.24 kt and to have all the features including drill, 5 turrets, shield, warp drive, and enough hangar space for small SV/HV for starter CV within T2 CPU limit.

That is a very cool looking early mining CV!

@alexleventakis Thanks for sharing brilliant idea! You did so many great upgrade that I missed. Yeb, Drill Turret is a great idea in early stage. Also, Solar Panel and camper van box is a great idea too. My thought could not reach that far :)
I also used this ship until I have 2 x T3s, full projectile turrets, advanced shield, advanced warp drive, and some more thrusters. This ship worked very well to gather enough gold, platinum, aluminium, and other resources at later stage (quick drill & run from Zirax)
Thanks again for sharing the good ideas

I have been using it for a few days and I am loving it. I have installed 2xT3s and am looking to go on using it rather than trading it despite the cramped space. One thing I did differently than the instructions: Well before the ability for 8xDrills I installed a Drill Turret where you have the mechanical dril (which itself works fine earlier on) and it was a game changer. I also added a camper van box in the back with the 24 Solar sails :D that made offline a stress free option. Roleplay wise when I tuck in for a long sleep I deploy the pannels in EVA from box next to me (RP)- kekeke.

@Grant thank you for your kind comment. I used this ship to complete object 82 exploration mission and move on to the next ship. New RE industrial drill helped me to gather resources quickly at the early stage (before level 25) and grow faster.

Great looking ship!
