Falcon 9 RE (SV)

Armored, Shielded, POI Raiding Craft

Unlock Level 25

Variant of the Falcon 9 B, now fully Reforged Eden compatible. Again, thanks to the massive game mechanic know-how of ZeroTwo-Chan, this ship is specifically aimed at end-game POI raiding and tackling CVs.

Note: Not compatible with Reforged Galaxy. You need Reforged Eden for this ship to work.

The rear storage box is for medical supplies.

Notes

Like the Falcon 8 and other variants of the 9th generation, this ship uses some of the wing design elements of the Merc-MX18.

To my surprise, this ship actually works on Reforged. While the Vanilla version required an advanced core to get off the ground, the hull and thruster frame served as a good foundation for a raiding craft within the rules of Reforged. Acceleration was cut in half, mostly due to the reduced thrust of Reforged thrusters. But the weapons loadout was increased. Some of the vertical thrusters were scrapped to make the acceleration more balanced. To make the whole thing work, 10 auxiliary cores were added but no quantum extenders. If you want to add more turrets or whatever else you fancy, you can add quantum cores behind the corridor glass (or instead of the glass) to make that work. There is also some space left in the left and right lower side sections but you'll have to remove some armor or use creative mode to access those.
