Are the holes in in the nose slotted for specific weapon loadouts? I've thought of throwing some mining drills in there. What have others done?

Artemis, love all your builds. In RE 1.8, I have added some shielding and a reactor core.. resulting in some of the zippiness going down sadly. I will look at ways I can add more thrusters!

No wonder it is Hitsuju's pick :-)

My fav end-game cv.. But again.. no grav gen but I guess.. it is a part of Your Artemis Sir, style :-))) This ship can have over 100k shield and still be an evasive little fighter :-) I just wonder.. what was The Lightning mk.1 :-P Anyway.. this ship is still Your masterpiece Art :-)))

I see you made up and down thrusters in the side nacelles advanced instead of drive (for upgradability i guess) but dont you think it would be better to do this with the ones near the center for better roll ?

Any chance for a 1.7 update? This ship is literally the best one in the game.

Is there anything that you made or you can recommend that's more mid tier with this level of detail and/or speed? The mobility this ship offers has now spoiled any other ship i try. Thank you for making it. Hopefully one day I'll have the quantum mats to make it in my server.

Damn you for making this ship. It has made flying other ships feel, meh. How dare you create such an awesome machine. I am very impressed with your build style and have so much to learn to try to reach this level. Oh and BOO for having such awesome soundtracks in your videos on YT damnit, who said you could be so awesome? Now I have to go figure out how to stuff some more storage in this beast without ruining it. Thank you again for your beautiful, awesome creations.

I hope to spawn one of these someday if I can ever acquire the materials needed. Nice ship!

Ty for all the kind comments, this ship has been updated to Fix an Airtightness problem in the upper cabin, and the Laser turrets have been changed back to Cannons so that it is limits-conforming for all servers. Tach916 I personally use variants which are Heavy on Missiles, flak, Tier 2 lasers, and heavy cannons, because those weapons hit their targets consistantly, in online play plasmas can be very innaccurate since they lead their targets however many m/s your ping is late, making them fire wildly off-target. Heavy flak is a fine option, too, it is quite accurate even with 200 ping in online play.

It's a beautiful monster

Do you have suggestions on what to change to keep up the killing efficiency on servers that limit the amount of each type of turret? The server I play on can't have more than 24 of each type of turret and since things like lasers and plasmas share that max number I need to change some. Even upgrading has a 12 limit of upgraded class. So things like missiles/flak, lasers/plasma, minigun/cannon all have a balancing act.

Ok, seems I was confused because mine came in with 20 laser turrets, and yours in the picture had 20 cannon turrets lol. Probably why I couldnt find the cannon turrets lol

The description is hilarious man lmao.....

Cannons are the "Projectile Turret", right click to choose between Cannon or minigun. Heavy lasers, heavy cannons, Heavy Miniguns, and Heavy flak are all hitscan.

Rick, you could try adding a few truss blocks to each side of the ship before repairs to push out the repair area a bit. Has helped me before when I had extendable cannons on the front of a ship that technically extended out past the repair area. Might help.

Artemis, which turret hitscans at T2? Not sure I see a cannon turret, unless you meant the minigun ones. Btw just got it built, very interesting with the tucked away missile turrets in the front, and the stacked ones in the nacels is a good idea.

Rickh229, Sell some loot and Repair at station services ( look for the best prices, polaris is expensive ). The repair pad has been and likely always will be a rage-inducing piece of garbage. Try a Trade guild or Pirate station.

My first fight was with 4 big boys, took em out with little problem. Problem is, I can't seem to be able to repair. I have a huge landing pad but keep getting message blocked, doesn't fix. Any suggestions?

Depends if youre playing single player or online Jay. Online I'd probably upgrade Some missiles to hellfire, because I know they'll hit & dig out generators faster. Artillery and plasmas can be inaccurate due to latency online. In single player I'd upgrade the plasmas because theyre hands-down the most effective turret. Theres a good argument for upgrading your Cannon turrets to T2 quickly, too. since it makes them hitscan ( instant projectile speed )

Great build once again. Really liking your style choices and direction. As well as the ships kill count ability. Quick Question before it goes into the factory for a while, if the turrets are not heavy yet, what would you upgrade to heavy first?

Wow. Enough said.

Very cool design! Awesome work!

You've done it again Artemis! Another awsome killing machine,no wonder Vermillion keeps pulling his hair out trying to find ways to stop you killing his ships to easily lmao! Keep up the awsome work bud!

Thx Marky ;) Good to see ya!

Wow. Wow. Wow. Another awesome build.

Thanks Nautilus! I'd love to see your PvP build sometime, message me anytime, maybe you can tell me a thing or 2 about your design approach, I'm wanting to build my own PvP creation soon.

I understand. In any case, good ship

It's a ship built specifically for PvE Nautilus. Sounds fun but I'm not a PvP'er, so, you win :)

beautiful vessel. I will be very interested in opposing him in a duel with mine. A class5 CV for combat. If you like, we could do it on HWS ...

i do love this ship

This design is brilliant and impressive. Nice work!

Great ship. Functional exterior and interior. Ultimate performance. Beautiful fighting style. It's full of humor and ideas and gives a lot of advice.

This is starting to be a unique style, where you see a ship in the workshop and think "that looks like an ArtemisRouge."

I have to take it out for a spin, it looks like fun!

Lol Wi1d, Thanks guys. Good to hear from you Stroyka!

You are the king of PVE death delivery systems. All NPC factions that I oppose cry in misery when I show up in an Artemis Rouge designed ship. Thanks! I can't wait to give this one a spin.

Artemis, you never cease to amaze me with your shipbuilding excellence. Thank you once again!
