Hello kindred Empyrion spirits!

Let me start with a request; please respect blueprint authors. Often it takes months to finesse a build, and to have it ripped and reuploaded without permission or even so much as credit, can be discouraging, often pushing such authors away from the community.

I personally don't mind critical feedback, and constructive criticism, as it will serve me to better my builds. However, If you enjoy my content, and there is much more to come, respect my (and others) authorship of these massive timesinks. Thank You.

4. Now while holding down shift, left click the bottom right color box, then in the left UI box, hit paste.
5. Once done, your new palette should apply, but to lock it in you have to hit OK under the color palette box.

As an early start HV comes standard with 2 gatling guns, and 2 gatling turrets for defense or limited offense.



While only coming with 2 gatling guns and 2 turrets, the Matador can later mount a number of additional weapons, including 6+ additional turrets, as well as a number of other mounted weapons for considerable punch when going against POI's


That Matador's armor profile leaves much to be desired, with an encasement of a single layer of steel, with 2-3 layers for the front of the vehicle, players will find that proper shield management, and use of the Matador's agility once fully upgraded, will be the key to survival.



The Matador can utilize a number of thruster upgrade configurations on all axis, from up to six large or 2 plasma and 2 large for forward thrust, 4x large or 1x plasma for strafe, 4x large or 2x plasma for reverse, players will find the agility more than adequate for the build.


Comes with Wifi, detector, RCS, fridge, oxygen dispenser, constructor, clone chamber, as well as 2 armor lockers.
Seating for driver and 3 passengers

Drone hatch - To use the hatch with success, walk up to the core/RCS wall in order to spawn drone out.


The Matador comes stock with a respectable 6300 ammo, and 8500 Harvest with placement available for harvester devices and tool turret placement

Additionally there are 7 cargo boxes, which can be partitioned up into various storage categories.



The Matador first went into production to fulfill orders for militias and security forces within secure space. They accomplished their task quite handily as a lightly armored express troop carrier. Mercenary forces eager to bolster their roster of units with more vehicles were no exception to the list of buyers. It is within these units that the Matador became notorius. Through custom rigging and short engineering, Matadors could be seen at the front of several battles, having been outfitted with artillery cannons and other high powered guns, used to bludgeon defenders into capitulation. While only having the thin armor profile of an armored troop carrier, this offered no solace to any battered settlements who were at the mercy of overgunned Matadors.
