Minotaur - Siege Vessel

The Minotaur is a size class 5 unlock level 15 midgame planetary POI buster CV, armed with a full compliment of projectile turrets that can take on all but the most fortified POI's. The Minotaur can stay parked next to a POI while it unloads a large complement of HV's and or SV's from its large and plentifull hangar spaces. Looting the POI will be no problem either because the Minotaur also has 4 max storage 320.000 container systems as well as 2 x 80.000 volume ammo boxes.

There is a "PowerSave" mode included that turns off a part of the thrusters and RCS for flight with empty cargo, giving you increased flight time. You can also turn of all RCS with a switch in the CP (control pannel) for when the Minotaur is parked on the ground as well as a switch to turn off flak turrets (they can't fire in atmosphere) and turn off the constructors. The side layers are made out of combat steel to resist enemy POI's incoming fire while the topside and bottom are made of regular steel to reduce weight and cost, for that same reason the interior is made of carbon composite.

The cost of this CV is relativly cheap costing only 8k iron and 6,9k sathium as well as 6k neodymium & 3,2k cobalt. Due to the weapons, thrusters, offline protection, repair-bay and -station this build sadly cost a bit of erestrum and zascosium but only 525 which should be achievable with a few POI's or one single SV warp. This CV should work well as a single or multiplayer midgame CV or a singleplayer endgame CV.

This tank is made for XCaliber's april creators challenge, the goal was to make a CV that can take on a planetary POI when parked next to it while unloading SV's or HV's and carry the loot back to base.
