So I was curious what would happen, what kind of chain reaction i'd get...
Here's what Soul Crusher looks like if it takes a shot to the rear.
Granted, I've modded the ship quite a bit with CG server components and pushed all limits.

Quite the explosion!!

Hey Mavado, do you have a version of this that doesn't hit block limits?

Thanks Parrot! Always great to hear how others use & modify my ships.

I've been using Soul Crusher in several variants for over a year now. I've tried other ships but keep coming back to this one. The maneuverability is fantastic, and I've exceeded the aesthetically pleasing number of guns to whatever I can get to stick to it. Added 9 drills up front, asteroid excavators and ice drills to the rear, bastion shield and all upgrades (1.4m shield). This devastates the drone hive and stands up well against legacy ships.

Fantastic build, absolutely love it. Just found your Hyperion carrier, will be changing it for the server I play on (Consortium Gaming), can't wait to get that in action.

Great work!

Thanks, just spawned the upgrade version now have to take cores and turrets from my mid game CV and start upgrading. Your Legacy Kill Academy video is great!

I never buy fuel. I use autominers on promethium, and hydrogen extractors in water. Super easy to make enough fuel.

Wow 1.4Mw I see I'm going to have to start hoarding promethium, do you use mining promethium or trade to get the credits to buy fuel, I assume it would be several million to fill up.

Legacy was beefed up. It requires your ship to have a really good spread of decoys, which my ships do have. It also requires you to be comfortable with hull tanking legacy. Their lasers do little hull damage, so ships like my Soul Crusher or Soul Syphon do really well.

You could also take a look at my Legacy Kill Academy videos, if you’re not familiar with them. Here is episode 1:

This is a 6 video series that walks you through how to handle all Legacy ships, along with groups.

the only ship i can beat legacy ships ;x am i a bad pilot or what happened to these light-show-legacy ships , all hitscan and super fast shield stripping now. in 1.7 i could kill the ships with half the firepower of this ship.

Sounds Good im trying to get a CV that is literally multi use one i can use as my battleship, miner, salvage, and also room to place rich asteroid mining turrets..cause sometimes its a headache traveling the galaxy and not being able to fight that dread cause im in my miner or vice versa in my battleship and not be able to mine asteroids or the finding the rich asteroid fields and not being able to mine those ya know what i mean?

Yes! That's an older version I made during an event that was run several months ago. I think I have ~8 space wreck ships in the game, but unfortunately, I had to strip all the valuable components out. So, while it has a little bit of rare resources, most are gone. Probably a good salvage piece though!

I found a 'destroyed' version of this ship in Reforged Eden. Laughed my butt off...

@zerotaz, It’s great to hear you’ve been enjoying my builds! Regarding a new, larger combat CV, unfortunately I don’t have that planned right now. It’s something I’ve considered myself, but to be honest, as I’ve used this ship I haven’t needed more turrets. I have actually considered building a smaller one though 😆

However, if I do plan to make another, larger combat CV, I’ll keep this in mind!

@Movado i love your builds i use them all the time but i have a request. I have tried myself to replicate your build but i suck at creativity lol. Anyways i was going to see if you can possibly make a little bit bigger version of the Soul Crusher. im wanting to have even more guns lol id say around 200ish. I hope this is something you can do and if youre to busy to do so i understand.

MAJOR BP UPDATE TODAY: Reconfigured the hangar & shield area to accommodate v1.7 changes. The previous hangar now holds 2 Fusion Reactors and 5 of the Large Shield Boosters (3 Capacitors & 2 Chargers). All small & medium shield boosters are located in the shield room. This ship now requires a total of 70 Quantum Cores! I also changed up the turret counts, adding both Large Vulcan, Heavy Railgun, and Heavy Positron Turrets. This now provides a great mix of firepower & all levels of the ship! Additionally, there is a new boarding ramp located in the middle of the ship. The old was removed as it interfered with shield upgrades.

Enjoy!

Q: How many guns does it have?
A: Yes!

to the guy who said "why would you make this" Some people just want something to work toward. But it's possible and likely that the developers of Reforged Eden will at some point release a boss fight or some other enemy which requires a CV of this caliber. And when that day comes, you will be ready :D

Hey.. I just wonder why do anyone need this kind of ship... I mean to get it you have to destroy already end-game stuff. Then what? It is a great ship but what is the reason to have it? Kudos for You Movado. It is amazing but what is the point of having it? Please, tell me.

At :58 in? Or was it with the Infectors earlier?

If you’re shield is dropping in seconds, you may want to watch this video. You should be able to easily kill any Legacy targets without losing your shields:

Fortunately in SP, just fall back on a save game and try again. The regenerative shield was much better with the roll tactic and even though it got as low as 30% was able to recover quickly. The ship didn't even suffer a scratch on its paint.

I did not fare as well with this in a confrontation with a Devestator and Infector than I had hoped. I suspect that the reason might be the shield. Their firepower plus their spawned Symbiotes had the bastion down within seconds even as I rolled and focused on each in turn. The ship prevailed but not without losing half the front in the confrontation. Might the regenerative shield fare better?

really enjoying this ship, good work:-)

BP updated today. Added some additional fuel storage, as requested. I also made some changes to how the Artillery Cannons are setup, based on recent tests. You'll find they are more spread out from front to back of the ship, with 4 additional Artillery Cannon mounts placed further back on the ship. The staggered setup allows the game to fully process the front artillery rounds before the one behind it hits, creating a much larger impact. In testing, I was able to core a Legacy Eradicator in only 4 shots using this setup!

Oh my, thanks for letting me know. I’m not sure how those got there! BP updated, with those moved inside the core room.

It seems the 2 cores on the outside belong in the core room?

Thank you! I will keep that in mind for future revisions. I may be able to squeeze more fuel into the wings. The farm plot increase will be challenging due to the quantum storage location, but something I’ll try to incorporate in the future.

Awesome build!!! Thank you so much! In a future update, can you increase a bit the farm area and the fuel tanks? I think that 36 or 45 spots are a nice number to keep the prodution of food and meds in a good rate and with the shield on and weapons on, the autonomy is just 11h.

Wow, will have to compare this thing to the Star Destroyer I modified off the workshop. Been a while since I saw a heavily armed ship uploaded.

Thanks all for the positive feedback!

verry nice good job bro

Crazy and awesome! Love your boat!

Oh that is just SILLY :D I love it! :D When you just can't get another gun on your ship, build more ship :D

Then spawn the base version at 2.1M CPU with no end game upgrades. That’s really the intention, and the reason I have it linked at the top of the description.

Or, if you just want to have fun, use the sbp command & spawn it.

No one will ever be able to spawn this in with the antimatter drive/tank & bastion shield on it.

lol a new ONO ? I love

Oh I am definitely gonna try this one!
