UPDATE: Added 4 Small Plasma Turbines, 4 Standard Turbines, and idles at -0.7k. Now has 4 X 640k controllers and better fitting Solar Array. Reasonably reduced cost for Reforged Eden 2. Simplified the gravity. Many new Effects and deco blocks added. Includes Advanced Teleporter for 50 LY travel.

In Reforged Eden 2, additional cores beyond 7 will require Quantum core upgrades.

This Core 7, Level 20, Helios Edition of The Jrandall Classic “Helix Orbital” has an Advanced Teleporter, 8 Sentry Guns, 2 Miniguns, 4 Furnaces, 9 Advanced Constructors, Universal constructor, Deconstructor, 4 Small Constructors, T2 Repair Bay and Console, and 50 Large Cargo Boxes(Color coded and sorted for faster organizing).

If you need more protection you will need more auxiliary Cores or add crew members to obtain more CPU. Provided protection from drones only!

3 Well distributed Wifi modules allow full remote functionality from the ‘p Menu. Also, controlled from switches on deck 4. Fully compatible with all standard “Helios” modules. Base is fully usable WITHOUT modules also.

So Start chopping wood and drilling stone!
