would this be able to support tool turrets or something for large scale poi salvage ops?

lol. Thank you Graves!

I've only recently gotten into Empyrion and love the ships you make. Really needed this cargo ship. I'm about to bleed my moon dry of resources XD

Thank you VDUB, Joe Khurr, and Grollwerk!

I like the design but flies very ackward

Tested this and a bunch of your other ships last night in creative to see what I wanted to work with in SP and I loved every single one of them. This one is currently in the factory so I'll get a chance to really tool around with it tonight, but I love the VTOL/ Vertiberd aesthetic on this one, and the side panel cabin was a nice touch!

That's perfect

Thank you Stelknecht and [TLC] Arturinn Truelight! @Stelknecht, very sorry, I must have missed your comment. I will need to update a bunch of creations at somepoint to A11 - 12 stuff. I haven't done this one or the CH3 yet. The CH5 was switched to A11 thou. @[TLC] Arturinn Truelight, Nice mods! :) Thanks again all!

This vehicle has been so easy to mod. I upgraded mine to T4 CPU, added a shield, 4 rocket launchers, a hidden ammo bay, and tucked in a bunch more Cargo Extenders. I removed 1 fridge, and 1 constructor, and placed 2 passenger seats inside. Very handy vehicle!

Easy update to 11. Dropped all but 2 RCS, 1 constructor, a fridge and the warp drive. Added some H-Missiles, and viola, 39k CPU for a T3 mass transport.

Thank you Ja d'Attaque and Legion! @Legion, Sorry I must have missed your comment. I have thought about something like that and may attempt it at some point. Recently I got into building some alien like stuff but I am thinking at some point I would like to go for the look you suggested. @Ja d'Attaque, Thanks. Also if you are not into 7500 CPU there is the larger CH3 version of the ship which carries more cargo and is longer with an enclosed cockpit. Thanks again all!

Oh wow, I finally got around to trying this out. Wow, it's really pretty. I'm going to make a few changes here and there, re-organise the Control Panel items, change some of the sensors, but wow, this is amazing.

You do great work man! Ever think about doing a wasteland themed buildings or vehicles? Kind of like something off of Mad Max Fury Road.

Thank you CrazyZ!

Crazy design! Especially those trims around the thrusters and the door. Love it!

Thanks Payden! I had some trouble building this one and CH3 version. The design was to use one large thruster in all 6 directions saving CPU for more storage. With the first version, it failed weight testing badly so I modded it with more thrusters. Before then it was set up to be modular and you could add additional, at the time 15k, cargo containers via copy paste to either side of the thruster housing area. However, I needed to make lots of changes as that design failed and now it really isn't very modular. It is, but trying to move with more cargo containers doesn't work to well. Thanks again!

Carrying large combat steel blocks from a crash site back to my base for deconstructing ... looks like this carries right at 200 tons on a 1G planet.

Also fits through a 9x5 hanger door and resembles the mighty C130 Hercules. I'm hanging onto this one in my 9.4 survival game.

@SERG27RUS, lol. That is why I made the CH3 version! I believe it is over 20000 CPU. Thanks again!

processor at 7500.violate it

Thanks Payden :) I thought about adding a gatling gun or 2 as well. Why I didn't (and this is the only moving thing I made to date without weapons :) is if loaded to max or close too, the control is not great at all for trying to aim at drones and such. Also, it would require setting up an ammo storage container system and I would need to reduce the storage on the ship do to the CPU it would take for all this. So I choose to not run any weapons. I am thinking the best plan would be stay away from the drones if possible or run away. If it wasn't for the CPU aspect, it is doable thou. Thanks again :)

Perfect for those times I put a defense turret and driller in the queue and head off to the nearest world - will you repossess it if I add a gatling gun or two for drone control?

Thank you SERG27RUS and Tyrax Lightning! @SERG27RUS, last week I put out the two Merc-MX9 ships both with hardened steel and for survival combat. Someday I will have to work on a real tough ship but that has been getting very hard to do and keep the CPU at 7500. I may have to ignore the CPU if trying that. Thanks again!

Ooooo... This is creative Jet Thrustering... me likey! :D

hi do armored small ship

Thank you Tact, XCaliber, and Neuticles :) @ Neuticles, no, I had this done for around a week already and didn't want to change it really. Will definitely check out the new blocks on future builts thou. Thank you again all!

Very nice. Did you use the new blocks on this?

it's Done! Looking forward to looking at this tonight!

love it
