Rapid Fleet Prototyping Project

21 items

Description

This vessel was designed as part of my Rapid Fleet Prototyping project. For more information on this project, please see the description of the world file, found here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1499175300

The Revenant is a broadside battlecruiser, making use of large rocket launcher arrays, and self-repairing hardpoints to control enemy turrets while blowing enemy vessels to pieces. To facilitate this even further, the Revenant is surprisingly maneuverable for its size, making use of hydrogen afterburners to quickly get into and out of combat.

As part of the Rapid Fleet Prototyping Project, the Revenant is a mid-sized warship, with a focus on firepower instead of defense. While it isn’t exactly cheap to build, it isn’t particularly expensive for its size, either. Due to its relatively weak armor (other than the two self-repairing hardpoints), it is somewhat niche however, and is best utilized as part of a larger fleet.

EDS - The Easy Docking System

The EDS is a complete docking package. With just a few key components arranged correctly, docking becomes extremely easy and intuitive:

A docking projector, which displays a docking “target” hologram, which is positioned in-line with the ship’s connector.
A docking camera near the vessel’s main connector, which the docking projection is visible from.
A remote control, aligned with the docking camera, so ship control can be oriented with the camera, instead of with the cockpit.
(In nearly all cases), a set of two docking timers, for easy, safe, one-click docking and undocking.

How to use: Simply control the block labeled “Remote Docking”, view the docking camera by pressing hotkey 1, and enable the projector with hotkey 2. Position your vessel so the target hologram begins to pass into the center of the connector you wish to dock with, then slowly thrust towards the connector until you make contact. Once your connectors are aligned, press hotkey 3 to trigger the dock timer, which locks down the ship, disables thrusters, and disables all weapon systems. Ready to undock, or need to make another pass? Press hotkey 9 to reactivate the ship’s systems.
