Description
Light Survival Fighter. (SV Tier 2, Class 1, Unlock level 7)

Primary roles: Light combat, Inexpensive, Survival, Alpha 12

Update 7/5/2020 - Updated ship to alpha 12. 7 RCS were removed (out of 10), and a CPU T2 block added. I also fixed some block rotations on the interior, named the cargo, and updated the stat screen shots on the post. The ship now unlocks at player level 7.

Update 5/1/19 - I did extensive changes to this ship to both get it to Alpha 9 specs as well as matching color scheme to newer creations. All of the screen shots on this post have changed to the newer model now. It has 5K volume storage as well as a drone hatch. Both the exterior and interior have underwent many changes. I decided to just update the existing post rather than a new release.

The Merc-MX2 is designed as a low level SV with many features and inexpensive. It comes equipped with 6 gatling guns and 4 additional weapon mount points below the cockpit. This version has now be redone to alpha 9 specs + improvements to the body and a new interior.

Features:

1. Most all survival comforts closed off in air tight back room
2. Fairly good speed and maneuverability
3. 6 Gattling guns and 4 additional weapon mount points
4. Unlocks at player level 7
5. Inexpensive
6. 1 Constructors, 5K volume storage, 2 Ammo Boxes
7. 2 Fridges, Armor Locker, Drone hatch, WiFi
8. O2 and O2 station
9. Internal cockpit access
10. Automatic doors, lights, and ramp
11. Spotlights with internal switch
12. Detector

I hope you enjoy!

If you are working on Reforded Eden. You can search for the KamyFighter blueprint, which has all the fixes mentioned in the previous comment without the Shield Generator.

Tested in Reforged Eden 1.8. I had to remove 8 RCS. Also i had to add one CPU Extender.
Removed Mobile Constructor, Added Shield Generator. Removed CargoBoxes and added Container Controller and Extensions. Now its a kickass SV. Incredible thrust and maneuverability. Thanks you so much Mr jrandall!

Mr. Randall, Thank you for so many great builds you have done. Just curious on what CV would be a good fit with the MX2. I absolutely love the MCRN line you have biult but I just grabbed this one for my newest start in vanilla. or maybe a suggestion for a small vessel and an CV in the MCRN line that pair well together.

Again many thanks for such great work that is very apparent you enjoy doing .

This is my go to ship for vanilla 1.8. Lots of carry capacity, and no modifications necessary. CPU is within limits. Just spawn it in, fuel it up, and away you go.

Thx jrandal. I did some modifications, and it is fine now. ^^
jrandall  [author] 22 Oct, 2021 @ 9:01am 
Thank you thisisvanda, Brakiri, and Degar! Sorry about my slow response @thisisvanda. To make it T2, I believe in vanilla you would want to remove the basic CPU block and add 2 improved cores. In RE, leave the basic CPU block and add 1 or 2 improved CPU cores. I admit it has been awhile since I looked at the ship to know exactly what it needs at this time. I may do that in the near future again. @Brakiri, It may be possible to add a shield to this but it wasn't really made for it. I did release a newer Merc-MX4 which does come stock with a shield but it is also a a little bigger and more pricey. @Degar, In RE I think doing quests will keep adding more unlock points, but I am a little confused on how to as well. And thanks again all!

Could you build a version with shields? Hate to ruin the awesome design by splashing on a shield generator somewhere.

I love this vessel. I wanted to use it in Reforged Eden 1.5. But ship CPU is 12000 (Tier 1 CPU), and allocated 15069 (66%).
I can't make Tier 2 CPU. What can I do?
Thank you.

Thank you johnwhile and t4ks. @t4ks, no, it is a one way trip to the outside. An issue using the prefab cockpits. Thanks again!
t4ks 21 Jun, 2021 @ 4:20am 
really nice ship, is there a way to exit the cockpit right into the cargo area?
