IW Sapphire T2 V1 StarterCV lvl10

I wanted a "cheaper and easier to get CV" that i can use in early game. But i also liked the design of Mjolnir Assault Frigate 11.0 and IW Black Pearl.

So with that as inspiration i made a smaller CV that just passes below T2, size class 3

There is no dedicated drone hatch. But you are able to deploy the drone by standing on the bridge, and just fly out the door to the SV deck. There is an eco lever that turns off half of the thrusters to save fuel. And a Hibernation mode.

It's highly upgradable and have some marked spots for shield, teleporter, repair station, generators, and CPU. The bottom hull also have easy access to fit more fuel/O2 tanks.

Some explaining of the upgrading:
-CONS=large or adv. constructor.
-R next to armor locker=repair station
-R in hangar bay=repair console
-R in hangar floor=repair bay
Teleporter is meant to be placed next to the shower in sick bay.
But feel free to put things where you want and make the ship your own. For inspiration you can have a look at the pictures of IW Emerald in my workshop.

Hangar door is set to 9x5.

In the back there is space to upgrade to large thrusters, and on the bottom there is also a lot of room for thrusters(marked with thruster covers).

The ship comes without grow plots but there is room for a total of 45. That should be equal to 6 ration packs.

6 projectile turrets, marked spots for 9 more 3x3 retractable turrets
Marked spot for retractable tool turret in front under the ship.
8 sentryguns that can activate when landing gear is down.
In the front, there is room for drill/laser/rocket launchers between the spotlights, just to remove some blocks.

2X320Ksu container controllers.
2x200Ksu container controllers (can easy be expanded further back in engine room)
40Ksu ammo controller
Places for cargoboxes are marked with thrus blocks

Signal logic is pointed to each device, so autogroup is no problem.

Personally i like to save up and go direct to IW Emerald which is a more complete edition of the same ship.

Thanks to Br0wn3y3 for the inspiration to this design.
