Description
Merc-MX5 "Tactical" (SV Class 1)

Role: PVE warp drive SV, unlocks at player level 12, utility, tactical combat

Cameos Gamer made a great video showcasing this SV. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzVAIVpetlk&t=476s
Thanks Cameos Gamer!

Update 6/8/18 - Fixed issue with back room area not being air tight. It is now. Also added one additional RCS and replaced stat screen shots on post. Sorry about that. I need to change my quality control methods some. :)

The Merc-MX5T is an upgraded variant of the Merc-MX5E. It is a bit more expensive and requires player level 12 vs 10, however still requires no rare resouces. This variant is designed for hit and run tactical combat as well as exploration and utility but remains fairly inexpensive. Like the MX5E it is not a tough ship. It relies on speed, agility, and a good pilot for taking on such things as defended POI's. Designed to line up on your target, fire, and flee, hopefully avoiding enemy fire. After all, the best block is not to be there. Also to note, some screenshots show this with addtional weapons beyond 4 gattling guns. This ship however only comes with 4 gattling guns but has 8 additional weapon mount points.

Variant features and changes from the the MX5E:

1. Unlocks at player level 12 (+2 player levels)
2. Requires no rare materials (Same)
3. 3 constructors, 2 fidges, armor rack, 15 large storage boxes, 4 ammo boxes (+1 Constuctor +2 ammo boxes)
4. Oxygen and o2 dispensor (Same)
5. Automatic lights/doors/ramps (Same)
6. 4 Gattling guns and 8 additional weapon mount points (+4 Weapon mount points)
7. Mostly Inexpensive.
8. Warp Drive (Same)
9. Passanger seat (Same)
10. Greatly increased speed and manuverabilty
11. Alternative paint job
12. Extended landing gear to accommodate for larger thrusters. (2 blocks taller, 2 blocks longer)

I hope you enjoy!

Note: I left many of the thrusters mostly exposed so you could see the excellent new models for them in alpha 8. Also, with a ship like this, not able to withstand hard hitting defenses etc., it is best to stay clear, pick your target and move in quickly for the kill (Normally firing a volley of 4 rockets at POI turrets) and get out of there as fast as possible avoiding incoming fire if doable. As always, it is recommended to bring spare parts such as cockpit, core, fuel tank, generator, and RCS, maybe even spare thrusters and blocks, enough to get the ship going again if heavily damaged in the field.

*This ship requires Alpha 8. It will not be able to spawn in alpha 7.x.

I hope you enjoy!

Bro, life saver... thank you.

Thank you all! This is a very old creation and was built before CPU and weights and volumes. The MX5E was updated however, but the T models was not. I hope that explains why things are not set up well and I bet the ship doesn't work to well with CPU either. If you did like the idea of this this ship, the MX5E would (lol, should) be up to date. And thanks again all!

instead of so many storage boxes y not use container controllers plus extensions? storage around 16k n ammo around 2k

Help
Just downloaded and spawned in vanilla, and the CPU allocation is 50k+, but at T1, only have 6k to play with. T3 is only 40k, so I have to upgrade to T4 before I can fly this thing properly?
I'm confused, I recently built your amazing Ascension-ISV and was blown away by the quality of information and upgrade path, so to see so little information for the MX5T... have I done something wrong/missed something?

A classic! Congratulations!

This has -645kN of vertical when I spawn it in A12. If it's not compatible with A12 please put that at the top of the description.

I closed access to the links some time after I sent you a message... Because I thought you weren't interested... But after your message, I again made all your works borrowed by me publicly available... Now you can go through the links again... But there is already alpha 12...

Thanks ObertonSX. I tried the link but it is not working. Thanks again!

Thank you rootzij! I guess on the video I was stressing myself out a bit trying to make it work right at tier 2 CPU. I have to face facts that I either need to have it a tier 3 or lesson the storage and features I wanted it to have. I haven't yet made up my mind on that. I will be back at it soon and a new video. Thanks again!
