Primary roles: Surface POI Assault, Mobile base, Storage, Farm, Survival, Warp, 7500 CPU

Built for Xcalibers April Challenge here: (https://www.twitch.tv/xcaliber___)

Update 4/15/19 - Fixed issue with missing ramp. A ramp has been added and rigged to the sensor control. Thanks Semp for the heads up. I must have blew it out at some point working on something else. :)

The Sphinx-SAV is a specialized CV designed to aid in surface POI assaults as well as full featured survival mobile base. It is designed to fly up to and park right next to an enemy base from the front allowing 6 minigun and 6 cannon turrets as well as 6 sentry guns to light it up and draw fire as you then jump in a tank HV or attack fighter and finish the job. (or both with coop). Besides this special feature it is also a full featured survival base with storage, small farm, crafting area, repair bay, etc. The front of this ship has extra protection and designed to take hits without disrupting ship functions. The ship also features other turrets located on back side as well as 8 sentry guns and is 7500 CPU compliant.

Mobile Base

As a mobile base is comes packed with most every survival feature. This includes a 18 grow plot farm, med bay + all specialized medical equipment, hangar side crafting area with 2 advanced constructors, 2 small constructors, 1 320K storage, 1 220K storage, and 40K ammo storage as well as 3 large cargo boxes. In the area it also has armor repair, armor locker, 1 food processor, 3 fridges, 02 station, and repair bay (T1), offline protection, T2 repair bay, Wifi, and 3 extra storage boxes. Also the layout is design to be quick and easy to get around with little walking needed.

Offensive and Defense

It features 6 minigun turrets, 6 cannon turrets, 4 rocket turrets, 2 flak turrets, and 8 sentry guns. The minigun and cannon turrets are layered across the front at staggered positions to engage surface POI's while the other turrets are meant for protection against other threats in space or enemy CV's. This ship is not really designed to engage tougher enemy CV's however. Also on the front it has 6 sentry guns to aid in the assault as well as 2 other in back to keep that area safe from ground troops etc. The hull is built with combat armor and extra tough across the front and top area.

Hangar and landing pads

The ship features a couple landing pads on the top and decent sized hangar for moving attack SV's and HV's. The hangar doors are 9x5 allowing for the Demios-HT or similar sized tanks.

Switches and controls The ship has several switches including 1 for Siege weapons and another for space weapons. It also has thruster/rcs, 360 degree spot lights, and crafting power switches. Many of these are designed to save power if not in use.

Note: In the stat screen it shows no offline protection. I would guess this is a bug as it does have it installed located on the back side of the hangar opposite of the gravity generator.

Quick patch addressing a last minute change that was made giving the CV 2 additional fuel tanks. They could be seen from the sides although covered by blocks. This has been corrected. Thanks again DOOmnoodle for the heads up! I really appreciate it!
