clipper - sv

"you found some old blueprint of a vessel called 'clipper'. the schematics have seen better days, but it is enough to reverse engineer this ship." --------------

REFORGED Version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2354641692

notes: - 1 cockpit + 1 passenger pod - 2 Miniguns, 3 Weaponhardpoints, 3 k ammo - 6 drills, 10k harvest cargo - 1 constructor, 1 o2 station, 1 armorlocker, 1 detector, 1 wifi, 1 fridge, 1 pentaxid tank (preinstalled when you add warp/shield) - upgrade options for warp +shield and t4 extenders in the belly, see lcd + remove the lcd (warp in middle, shield on left side, t4 extenders between the ramps downwards) - High Performance mode = turns on/off most 5x2x2 thrusters and gives this insane thrust, a bit of a powersave option (with High Performance off you have no downwards thrust, but it still flys fine) - you can use the drillspots as weaponpoints too and use this as a heavy fighter type craft, probably would want to switch the harvest cargo for an ammo controller. - this suffer a bit from the common problem some of my builds have, that the overall thrust/power is way to much for the small shape, but it is fun to fly ;) - when landed you can enter the cockpit from the front when standing on the ground. it'st just a small point you can click there, but works.

@recoloring: (see the picture) i changed the wing parts manually, the rest is the main red and the grey/bluish color that you can just color replace, same with blue light textures.

empyriopedia / lore:

due to the high performance of the clipper, this ship is frequently "optimised" by pirates as a heavy fighter to surprise unsuspecting traders. althrough the true purpose for it's agility is the survival in the clouds around the planet cryson IV.

The core of the planet emittes a field, that constantly pulls asteroids into it's orbit. the eletric polarisation of the outer atmosphere prevents further catastrophes, keeping the planet alive. but it creates a dangerous environment of powerful electric charges, arc lightning, rock hailstorms from asteroid collisions and ship debris of unlucky pilotes. in all that lies the great opportunity of rare metals and loot that lures a special type of adventurer.

before the war, during the big expansion H.P. Figgleton worked on a secret deepmining project. as a sideproject the problem of cryson IV was presented to him. the clipper was his solution to this deadly environment. with the potential as a combat fighter and years after the war, some started to assume that at the time H.P. Figgleton knew of the coming conflict and prepared the sectors defense by offering them a capable combat ship in disguise with the clipper * , maybe even tipping the scale of the conflict in this part of the galaxy.

* note from the editorial staff: this claim could not be substantiated by official sources.

Mining Cargo Vessels

Limits: CPU Tier 4 and Under

Make a Vessel SV HV or CV that can successfully mine Asteroids and or Deposits, while defending itself, and carrying no less than 10K Ore...

I want to see some really original and mining themed builds. Not looking for retrofits of a fighter with a drill turret slapped on it.

MUST BE CPU and W/V COMPLIANT ======================

Disclaimer: Feel free to upload/modify/update/... my builds how you like and upload them to the workshop, i don't mind at all (includes older builds on the workshop too + stuff in my dropbox empyrion folder). Concering linking: do as you like.
