19MT70 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I've got multiple works in progress but being a truck driver cuts deeply into my free time. Here's a small project I hashed together in a hurry, what I'm calling a 'Sector Runner' Exploration Vessel, aka SREV. Cost Credits 264774 Iron 3600 Titanium 8884 Naonite 18400 While the looks are slapped together for the most part I am happy with how it came out overall, particularly since it looks like it does what I designed it for -- to jump into higher tier sectors to find secret stashes and claimable asteroids, salvage the occasional wreck and/or mine a few asteroids and then get the heck out of there before overpowering enemies arrive. The stats are something else I am happy with. While it does not have a huge amount of thrust it stops on a dime and has a generous energy pool so you can boost almost constantly when necessary. It turns and rolls very well, especially compared to similar builds I have seen here and has a decent base shield rating which shines with a rare or better shield booster. It has a base jump range of 7, too, so it has legs for its size. Further, it has 4 slots which I plan on filling with a hyperdrive booster, shield booster, object detector and mass sensor for my purposes. I do not think it would make a terrible autonomous mining vessel for mid tier use in sectors you plan on loitering in, either.

Sable Phoenix Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 This is a lovely little vessel, I really like designs that look utilitiarian yet maintain visual interest through modest complexity, and this fits the bill perfectly. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I think it looks really good, decent stats too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done. Thanks. For my own use today I ramped up one to Trinium and Xanion and it was a marked improvement over the base version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19MT70 Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 I think it looks really good, decent stats too Thanks Pob, it feels very similar to your latest. If you manage to add hyperspace cores to yours I'll probably shelve mine in favor of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I have on my single player, I removed the middle 2 armour plates on the bottom and stuck it there then added a few slops so it matches the gryo on the top. It's only a 5.6 reach though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faxtroid Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 That looks really cool, I might take some inspiration for my next vessel if you don't mind :) I really like those four side pods, something I once tried, bur it ended up really horribly :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point pretty much everyone is inspired by another ship design. Be warned I rushed and forgot to avoid the .5 grid so probably best to deconstruct and copy on a better grid setting.
