Chimera-HAV

Chimera Heavy Assault Vessel. (Class 2 SV) (See update below, Important)

Primary roles: Base assault, dog fighting, long range survival missions.

An unusual looking ship with massively over sized front gun emplacements, this ship was designed for pure performance. Although being fairly large and loaded with the maximum amount of firepower allowed in survival, it has one more trick, it also is extremely fast and agile. Packing 70 RCS units and a ton of thruster's (Some visible, some not), this beast was tuned to provide the fastest in game performance allowed in every direction. It also can take some hits.

It has every other quality of life feature the game has to offer (Alpha 7.5) for survival including oxygen, storage, constructors, warp core, armor locker, fridges, an internal cockpit access. It also has large fuel and air storage and quick access to all consumables.

I included some screens shots of it landing on existing ships. It can easily be docked in the hangar on Cerberus. It can dock in the hangar of the Manticore although it is a tight fit thru the hangar door. It also can dock on the Carapace but only on the top larger landing pad.

The ship is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. :)

I hope you enjoy!

Update 1/9/2018 - Important!!

I found a couple issues with this ship and it fell a bit short on some specs as well as would over max the power in atmospheres. I seem not to be able to update this version of ship now do to a ID mismatch that happened when I saved the ship but I didn't realize had been dropped from steam. A long story short is I cannot update this ship, so I released a second version.

I made a few changes, balanced the thrust better, and changed a body line in the center area of the ship. The new version is The Chimera-HSV-B found here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1264118148

There are more details and screen shots of the body line changes. Sorry about the issues.

For my other creations, please see either my workshop or "Military survival Series" collection listed at the top of this post.
