Size class 1, unlock level 17 and CPU tier 3.
The R-Type Vampire is a fast, agile and well-equipped warp capable medium fighter. It's armed with four gattling guns plus four plasma cannons for those bigger targets. This ship is protected by a hardened steel outer shell and a hull shield.
This is a vastly improved new version of the first ship I built in Empyrion, which is more agile, more CPU and fuel efficient AND includes more equipment. It's also the ship my R-Type Heavy multi role ship/heavy fighter is a bigger version of.
This small vessel is size class one, unlock level 17 and CPU tier three. It works great with my Orca Mk3 Battle Carrier capital ship. or Orca R9 capital ship.
Equipment
To help you on your adventures, this ship features quite a bit of cargo space, a warp drive, hull shields, an armour locker, fridge and O2 station
Custom HUD and lighting
I’ve added a custom multi-part HUD with some 3D elements. Parts of the HUD automatically switch on in sequence when you sit in the pilot’s seat.
There are switchable spotlights to illuminate things and also some flashing lights that I think look cool, butcan be switched off if that's not your kind of thing.
Custom shortcuts, signals and circuits
I’ve set up a few custom shortcuts and signals for the convenience of switching various things on and off and to save energy/fuel.
There are also some custom system groups and circuits running in the background to make sure stuff happens in the correct order or syncs properly.
Thrusters have custom modes set up to save fuel. These need to be selected by switching the following custom signals on and off in the main control panel:
HoverMode - Deactivates/activates all thrusters apart from bottom thrusters. To hover in atmosphere. CruiseSpace - Deactivates/activates all thrusters apart from rear thrusters. To cruise while in space. CruiseAtmos - Deactivates/activates all thrusters apart from rear and bottom thrusters. To cruise while in atmosphere. AllThrustOff - Turns all thrusters and RCSs on/off.
Other custom signals and shortcuts are:
SpotlightsFront - Front spotlights on or off BottomlIghts - Downward spotlights on or off FlashingLights - Turns external white flashing lights on/off
