LX-1 "Mjolnir"

"Whosoever wields this ship, if they be worthy, shall possess the power..."

Introducing the LX-1 "Mjolnir" Galaxy-Class Corsair! The Latest (and largest to date) ship from Filbert Shipyards!

The LX-1 is a top-tier endgame CV that is designed to serve as a mobile base / multi-ship carrier / CV destroyer. This ship underwent the most intense CV combat test that I've done yet that included 3 on 1 and even 4 on 1 CV-CV combat in orbit around the Zirax homeworld and 3 on 1 and 2 on 1 CV-CV combat in Legacy space! The LX-1 true to its nickname "Mjolnir" has the power to handle heavy combat. Even when the shields are down, the ship has multiple layers of Combat Steel around fuel, O2 and generators, it features a centrally located 'combat bridge' to protect the pilot in heavy combat, and has more than enough weaponry to handle what you'll face in SP survival. I'd love to test the ship in PVP or even project eden, but my internet is crap and im not savvy enough yet to start playing with mods...

The ship features all of the essential bits a ship of this caliber should have, medbay, multiple bridges, 36 growplots, warp, T2 Shield, tons of weapons, Multiple SV/HV hangars, and much more!

If you are looking for a new SV to go with your LX-1 try the Sparrowhawk X1, a modular upgradeable shielded T3 multirole SV!

I styled the LX-1 "Mjolnir" after the Starstrider IV and the Scarab Shuttle that i released a bit ago. I used the same color palate and styling because i sort of imagined all of these ships as belonging to some fictional space 'PMC' that operates on contract for the Polaris and Traders to fight Zirax for a price. They have a sort of 'militarized sytle'. If you like these ships and are looking to upgrade your companion SV from the Scarab i made an upgraded T4 SV that is modeled after my Kestrel Corsair CV that i will be posting soon and will link here (there is a pic of it in the SV hangar).

If you are a bit intimidated by the resource requirements, here way my in-game method for getting the mats for the LX-1; First, i started with the Starstrider IV CV. I took and upgraded the Starstrider IV to a T3 cpu and added a drill turret to the top SV landing pad. I replaced the container controller on the 'cargo bay' with an ore/wood controller and proceeded to mine asteroids, mostly in neutral systems, to aquire the ingots needed. I don't recommend using the CV drill lasers or and SV/HV miner for getting this amount of ore. The CV drill turret is the only way to go when dealing with this level of materials...

I fully tested the LX-1 as a top-tier carrier / mobile base / combat ship and she is a beaut! I did my best with the design to add in some redundancies to the design (like having two T2 large generators when the ship only needs 1) to maximize the combat survivability of the CV although she packs enough of a punch that through her 'sea trials' i never had the shields go down (i prefer a tactical retreat to a drawn-out slug-fest) and i was able to take on multiple CV's at the same time. A lot of what you can do with any ship will depend on your capabilities as a commander, but Mjolnir will boost you above your skill level quite a bit.

I hope you enjoy the LX-1 "Mjolnir" as much as i have!
