Euryale Heavy Fighter-Bomber

The EURYALE Fighter Bomber is a small grid attack-craft for space and non-atmospheric, low gravity environments. Four Mergeblock hardpoints enable the ship to carry a wide selection of payload for various tasks. Furthermore the EURALYE is equipped with four 25mm gatling guns as well as a turret for point defense and/or missile guidance.

This item is full vanilla and easy to build in survival. It is fully conveyed, thruster-damage compatible and uses no mods or subgrids. However, experiemntal mode needs to be enabled on your server/savegame for the ship to work correctly.

Attention: This blueprint requires the Decorative Block DLC Pack #2 - however, the only used blocks are some transparent LCD in the front, which have no mandatory function. Therefore the ship will work fine if you spawn/build it without owning the DLC.


The EURYALE is part of a series of multiple heavy fightercrafts that evolved on our dedicated server. Based on the original prototype, this specifc model was created as a test-platform for various types of missiles and Guidance-Systems.

Depending on the type of missile, the EURYALE serves best as a support craft, staying out of close combat and guiding it's payload into the target from afar.

While theoretically capable to use missiles against other fightercrafts while providing guidance via the turret, tests have shown, that in most cases, the EURYALE will be critically damaged very quickly, since it is quite a large and sluggish platform. Therefore, the EURYALE requires heavily on escort crafts.


Blocks: 1,206 (990)
Non-armor blocks: 275 (215)
PCU: 7,818 (6,026)
Triangles: 960,939 (643,683)
Grid mass: 75,947 (58,517)


Based on the same frame as the Stheno heavy fightercraft, the EURYALE was striped of its lower nacelles, while the top wings were widened significantly, creating room for a selection of hardpoints. This allows the ship to carry up to four heavy missiles for various different tasks and environments.

Since the original platform wasn't very agile in the first place and the EURYALE gained even more weight, it was decided to swap the Ion Thrusters for a hydrogen-fueled concept.
The significantly smaller thrust-to-size-ratio provided enough room to fit all missiles under the wing without stretching the ship in high. Therefore the EURYALE, including payload, can be stored in most hangars that can already hold a Stheno.

The lack of Ion Thrusters resulted in a significantly lower amount of power requirement as well. This allowed the removal of all batteries apart from one. However, the ship still employes a selection of small reactors to provide a source of active power-generation.

Fuel is stored in two Hydrogen tanks, surrounded by a layer of light armor. While the EURYALEs main role as a bomber is to close in on a target, drop it's payload, then return to base, careful fuel-management and a skillful pilot can significantly prolong the vessels area of operation. And in case of a worst case scenario, two o2/h2-generators stand by to refuel the ship with raw ice, if neccessary.
