Thank you again bad coffee. I added it in the post above now. :)

Thank you TornadoThorsten and bad coffee! @TornadoThorsten, it looks like another author just updated. The link above yours should work for now. I may soon have it listed as a modded version on this post as well. @bad coffee, thank you! Let me know if you want it listed as a modded version on this post. And thanks again all!

Have made an attempt at updating this for RG/RE.

Is there any update done to the MX9?

Thanks all. As in this ship needing an update, it certainly does. It was built for alpha 9 with the old CPU system and flight model. Everything has changed since then and most of my workshop creations broke. It is a huge issue having well over a hundred creations out there and many I have not got around to updating yet like the MX9 and MX9R. I will take a look at them and see how they will play with the new CPU system. A general rule thou is to remove all RCS, see where the CPU is at, and then add CPU tier blocks that fit the CPU and possibly more or less generators. Thanks again all!

Think this might need an update, i cant even fly this ship with out the Engines overheating. Ship in its current form is 100% unusable.

I always love your work, @jrandall, but this one needs an updated description too, please - the latest CPU mechanics mean that this craft spawns with a CPU load of 64,891 and a CPU capacity of 6,000.

How, can i make if more fuel efficient? I aded 5 more tanks but only 5 more minutes on timer

Good for starting an in fact it is cheap!

@TashunkaSapa, yeah, using prefab cockpits forces you outside most every time unless the cockpit is surrounded by blocks. I guess it depends what you are doing with the SV. A lot of time I like to stop, jump out real quick and scope a resource or something and jump back in quick. In that case this type of cockpit works decently. But I do need an enclosed cockpit with drone hatch SV yet. Thanks again!

This was one of the first warp fighters I used and I loved it (aside from the fact that there seems to be no way to exit from the cockpit into the aft compartment - and no drone hatch).
But I had to switch to an MXR because I kept getting my cockpit blown out mid-air (and always on an adventure planet, stranding me).
When I have the resources, I am considering an MX-15 to truly punish POIs. Your craft are the best, and few can compare.

Thank you again Uncle Crow! I really appreciate the comments :)

This is probably one of the best SV's i've ever seen. Beautiful, cost effective and perfect for scouting missions.

Thanks Noivi! I guess I normally feel compelled to have more rear thrust vs other directions. Not sure why. lol. In the MX9R version they were needed to keep the speed above 40 due to the increased RCS etc. I guess this version didn't need them thou. Thanks again!

Excellent ship tbh, though I'd suggest a tiny few changes - Forward thrust is a bit much, removing the two small jets above the door in the rear has minimal difference on performance. Also, having a switch on the opposite side of the light switch, for 'parked mode' (thrusters/engines on/off) would be nice. Going to be using this ship a lot.

@Wither, haha. It's a new thing in the game for remote transferring cargo to other places. haha. It's only 802.11g 2.4 Ghz thou. :) Thanks again!

wifi? xD

Thank you atheos5 :)

Nice edition to the Merc series! Subscribed.

@Camoes Gamer: LMAO!!

Thanks CrazyZ, Camoes Gamer, and (D)-Sniper-! @Camoes Gamer, lol. ">Data error, does not compute, running human V.92 subroutine in attempt to understand comment" ;) Actually you would be amazed at the ugliness of my early unreleased stuff. The first released SV I did, the MX8 was about the 8th SV I actually made. A couple before that worked for what they where meant to do, but sure were ugly! Thanks again all!

Super Teile

Can you please show that you are human, and release a ugly design? please? ;)

Great job on those two. Good work!

Thanks for the answers guys :)

@SmashingPotatoes, Correction, Foundation-XL was the first released Item I did using Alpha 9 Parts. Anything prior to that should work yet in alpha 8 yet.

Thanks Itharus, and SmashingPotatoes! @Itharus,The CP/weight is a game setting at this time. You don't have to use it. I guess it depends on the server. Also I do not know what the future brings for the CPU in this game. So, I am playing it safe mostly for now as I would hate to have new stuff not be able to work in the near future. @SmashingPotatoes, Most all the newer releases have been using alpha 9 parts so they would not be able to spawn in a alpha 8 game. I believe the Deimos-HT and earlier will work thou. The Gigantes was the first thing I made using alpha 9 parts. Thanks again!

@Itharus CPU limit isn't implemented at all yet. So you can break the limit with no repercussions. However, most creators are doing so with it in mind so they don't have to come back and fix it later. We do not know if MP server admins will have the option of removing the CPU limit once it gets enforced. However, the cargo controllers are optional now for MP servers. So that is a decent indication that CPU limit will be optional as well.

jrandall, do your new designs such as this still work in alpha 8? Wondering because alpha 9 crashes 50% but i still want to use your new designs as they are awesome.

Sorry to bug you again, jrandall, but is the cpu limit something that is server dependent -- like a default setting for balance? I know you can dismiss the limits in SP but can an MP server do that too?

Thank you Semp, Ryuukon, paulieuk1959, and CyberMech!

nice work, nice disign :)

I love it, you, XCaliber, Spanj and other creators are what make this game worth playing. Remember that and never quit :)

Really nice ship, been flying it around scouting a planet for the past hour and she does quite well. A bit fuel hungry, but that's going to be expected with the performance she's got and fully equipped with weapons and a full compliment of ammo.

Hopefully the devs will do something to give us upgraded components for SVs/HVs soon, but until then I really like this ship!

Awesome work as usual. She looks roughly the size of my older Direwolf sv's. You could easily fit 3 of these on the top of the Allustrial.

@liliandra_nadiar, I realized I didn't add any screens shots to give you an idea of scale. It is not that big of ship and can fit in any starter CV's hangars/landing pads I ever made. The last two screen shots give you a scale comparison. It is very close to the size of the Merc-AME. 9x5 Hangar door or bigger. Thanks.

Really pushing the idea of 'small' vessel. :p Size puts it to later game SV regardless of it's own costs as the early CVs I have won't hold it during interplanetary trips.

Thanks Xcaliber!

Meh Baby all grown up!
