MCI Polaris M

Are you ready for your new home-away-from-home?

MCI Polaris M is inspired by its namesake from SC verse. It is an Early to Mid-game upgradable Core 9 missile corvette and space-craft carrier vessel that crews 1 to 3 ppl. MADE FOR REFORGED EDEN ONLY! Vanilla Compatibility is impossible as the ship is practically built out of solid sloped ramps.

At 6 kt, 4 decks, an open cockpit made of heavy glass and with a hull composed of a mixture of Steel and Hardened Steel - it handles with relative ease, carries decent armaments, is equipped with 2 Mining Drill lasers, has a slot for a multi-tool turret, two 3x3 grow plots, full production and medical facilities, reactive Pilot Display, smart Signal Logic Suit, enough storage space to carry all your belongings and a convenient multi-tiered hangar that would fit a number of small to medium sized SVs and HVs (including some of current favourites like Sarissa and BoomBox SVs, the Kataphract HV or even the heavy monsters like Carn HV).

In stock configuration it relies on 4 EMP Cruise Missile Turrets and a Laser Turret to strip enemy shields and 4 fixed Artillery Cannons to do hull damage. This complement of weapons is designed to be used in a kiting approach: strip shields with EMPs from a distance without taking too much fire, then close in to disable and board or destroy your chosen target. This way Polaris can take on most Orbital Patrol Vessels you will meet in common space. Protection against drones is further provided by 4 Minigun Turrets.

Polaris further has space for up to 10 Auxiliary or Quantum cores. It is not recommended to take this ship against any Legacy ships, but with careful kiting it is totally capable of killing nullifiers to forage for the Aux core components.
Weapon upgrade options are detailed in the pictures and are flexible:
- Extra 2x EMP Cruise Missile Launchers (top)
- 1 additional EMP turret OR 1 Artillery Cannon Turret (front bottom)
- 2x additional EMP Cruise Missile Launchers OR 4x Artillery Cannons (sides)
- Up to 3x additional EMP Cruise Missile Launchers can be put in place of the Laser Turret on the top and two Minigun Turrets on the bottom side of the ship
- Up to 2x additional Artillery Cannons in place of the Mining Drill Lasers (front top)
- Up to 10x MX4 Rapid Torpedo Launchers
- NOTE: please read the LCD in the Armoury to learn about Combat and Boarding Mode operations and weapons programming!
- NOTE: the M modification is optimised for kiting missile barrages more than direct fire turrets, though those will work as well – alpha testers report good results with both Laser and Positron Beam Turrets. The GW modification, by contrast, is kitted to serve as a classic turret platform and is available for download here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2877368328.

Stock shields are moderate at 15.5k, but with good recharge rate and sufficient for kiting OPVs while barraging them with EMPs from 800m to 1050m distance. Slots are available for extra 5 medium 3x3x2 shield upgrades and it is recommended to install 3 Capacitor Banks and 2 Charger Couplings to preserve a decent recharge rate for the resulting 45k HP Shield.

Slots are further available for 4 additional Advanced Thrusters: 2 rear facing in the top nacelles and 2 upwards facing in the rear top of the ship’s hull. To place – carefully remove the place-holder blocks and the thrusters will fit right in.

Polaris M is a very capable vessel, can hunt for its own upgrades and, when fully kitted out, will hold its own against anything up to a Tovera. However, it is not the most newbie friendly ship as it lacks auto-homing generator killing weaponry. It is NOT a brawler, and requires careful and patient piloting, or a wish to learn it. If you are like us and don’t rush into any new OPV with your eyes closed, but instead prefer to strip enemy vessels from afar, then defang, disable, and board your opponents – you will fit right in.
