The Chimaera - Mk II

!(This is an alternate version of the original Chimaera)! The Chimaera Mk II is an unlock level 25 size class 8 end game CV. It has 2 320.000L cargo boxes (regular and harvest), 8 16.000L cargo boxes and 2 32.000L ammo boxes. It can easily lift max weight with all containers fully filled up (tested with pentaxid on a 1g planet) if the "HighPerformanceMOD" is turned on. With HighPerformanceMOD on the ship is very maneauverable however turning it off pretty much doubles the flight time of the ship at the cost of performance (not very noticeable when not loaded with cargo). The entire outer hull is made out of combat steel and the vital components like generators and fuel tanks are spaced out to avoid chain reactions. The inside of the ship is made out of regular steel blocks to try and keep the cost down. The chimaera Mk II is relativly affordable (for an end game CV) at 5,5K erestrum and zascosium, 8,8K neodymium and 4,2K cobalt. The 29K sathium and 20K iron costs should be achievable with the deconstruction of a few POI's. It has about 50 hours of fuel when stationary on the ground (HighPerformanceMOD off).

!!!THIS IS THE MK II VARIANT, which has more thrusters, RCS and turrets. This version also features mining functionality, ground level acess for on foot operations (this entrance also serves as a landing strut fixing the tiping over problem of the original design) and a ramp that allows you to put HV's in the hangar without have to rely on hover boosters. All these changes are overal better for functionality but (IMO) worse for aesthetics. That's why this is uploaded as a seperate version. This version is also a tad more expensive due to the new additions. Link for the original below as well as a link to the foundation XL by jrandall which can be seen in the screenshots:
