Hecate Carrier

High Capacity HV/SV Carrier (CV Class 5, Player unlock level 15)

Primary roles: Survival PVE, Mobile Base, HV/SV Carrier, Farm, inexpensive for ship type.

The Hecate Carrier started as an idea to build a class 5 carrier to meet or exceed the HV/SV capacity of the Perses Carrier. (Hecate - Daughter of Perses). To meet these goals, it was back to the drawing boards with a new layout to maximize space using as little resources resouces as possible and still keep a high level of detail. These goals were meet keeping this carrier at a class 5 and nearly 1/3 the cost of the Perses and matching the HV/SV capacity.

Features:

Hangar - The pass thru hangar consumes the entire bottom of the ship from front to back. It features a deluxe crafting area with 4 advanced constuctors as well as plently of storage + every other quality of life survival feature. It also contains a repair bay and twin elevators to reach the upper levels of the ship. To keep the player level unlock at 15, I used a T1 repair bay rather than a t2. Feel free to swap this out.

Farm - The farm is located on the main flight deck featuring 108 grow plots in two rows. Also in the farm area you will find more fidges and food processors as well as a full featured med bay.

Bridge/crew quarters - The bridge features two passenger seats, switch controls for exterior lights, retractable turrets, and thruster/RCS as well as direct access to the crew quarters.

Engineering - This ship has no deticated engineering area. Instead, parts are placed thru out the ship in out of the way places but also visible. For instance you will find a warp core, offline protection, and a gravity generator in the farm level, generators, fuel, RCS, and o2 in the hangar area. This was done to maximize space and reduce costs.

Offense/Defense - This ship is only defensive in nature. It features 10 retractable turrets (canon) and 5 sentry guns to give 360 degree basic defense. The sentry guns are lower and meant to protect the 4 hangar door areas from ground threats. It does not have any rocket or pulse guns. It also has an unused turret mount on top of the ship. The hull is built with hardened steel with some plastic interior deco/walls.

I hope you enjoy!

Note: If you wish to re-color this ship in creative, I set up the exterior and interior colors seperately. In the color palette, on the left you will see 4 shades of gray/white. You will see these same set of 4 colors to the left on the bottom. The ones on the right are exterior colors and the left interior colors. By default they are the same. So, if you want to see what paint scheme you could come up with for the exterior, it would not alter the interior or vice versa.

Update 11/4/18 - As per recommendation I moved the sentry gun from the back above hangar to 2x on rear thruster areas. Added blocks behind front sentry guns. Sentry guns have small amount of hit points and if destroyed would cause an o2 leak either in the hangar or the farm level. Now they are either out of the way or backed by a row of blocks to prevent air leaks.
