Made for Reforged Galaxy/Reforged Eden V 1.9

Built for The Anvils June Challenge "Star Trek inspired builds" This ship is inspired by the Pathfinder class.

It's stripped down a lot on CPU and built to be heavily upgraded as you progress in the game.

The intention with this vessel was to build a multi purpose vessel for mainly planetary exploration and fun. Can handle smaller threats just fine. Never intended to or tested for heavy combat, but with some upgrades to shield and weapons it should be doable.

If your looking for a Star Trek inspired ship more focused towards combat, feel free to check out IW Eliminator

I would recommend spawning it in Reforged Creative Studio or Reforged Eden creative mode before building it in game. That way it's easier for you to upgrade the ship beforehand, if you already have a quantum/aux or two to put in on your server/save game.

Tutorial Video for Upgrading the Vessel

Had to remove 4 Drive thrusters to get it below 2.1million CPU. Still operates decent but I recommend adding them back once you have the needed CPU to get full potential from the ship. Feel free to ask in the comment section below if you have any questions regarding the intended path of upgrading the ship. Or you find things that should be improved.

Features:

  • Hull is made in hardened steel with some xeno blocks around the vital parts
  • Advanced shield generator
  • 48 Solar panels
  • Large hangar with two entrances
  • All thrusters are protected by blocks and shutter windows
  • Space for 56 grow plots
  • Advanced warp drive
  • Advanced constructor
  • Large Constructor
  • Space for Deconstructor
  • 2 Small constructors
  • Teleporter
  • Space for 8 laser drills in the back and 8 fixed weapons of choice in the front
  • Lots of open areas to add more turrets
  • Space for repair bay
  • Space for 24 quantums/aux cores
  • Space for 8 small shield upgrades, 8 medium and 2-4 large, depending on configuration
  • Generators can be replaced with Fusion Reactor, total space for 3 Fusion Reactors if you only add two large Shield Arrays

Storage:

  • 6 x 320Kl storage
  • 1 x 320Kl ammo
  • 1 x 320Kl harvest
  • Several smaller cargo boxes

I sometimes stream building and gameplay on twitch

Feel free to join our Discord to see work in progress from me and other authors. If your a Twitch or Patreon supporter you will also get early access to new builds and you can help me testing out upcoming builds. There will also be channels where you can get access to builds that is not on the workshop. Discord will be used to announce when I'm streaming as well.
