Switch II

The Switch II is the best CV-Starter I've made for the Reforged Eden 2.0 scenario.

Bar-none, this little ship outperforms and over-delivers in every category, a varitable Swiss-army knife of practical function, upgradability, and accessible design. The ship acts as an early-game Carrier, a stellar mining platform, a dropship, a factory-ship, and more.

With over 300k of Harvest storage, this little beast can hold more thn a bit of early game Ore, 4 Constructors standard will turn ore to ingots in minutes, while full medical suite, onboard shield, 360 degree turret coverage, roll-through hangar, and explosion-tested cockpit airlock make the ship a rugged and reliable partner for your play-through.

The Switch II is fully armored, without a single exposed component block or extender, and it does it with less than 50 structural blocks weighing less than 50 tons, the ship is a marvel of defensive and practical engineering. It will easily withstand shield-up penetrative damage.

Switch II is built specifically to use 2x Mechanical drills w/ optimal and thoroughly-tested drill positioning, it easily outperforms a drill turret in speed and ease of use, in less than an hour of mining, this ship will Mine & process all of the material necessary to build an Ample Capital Combat ship.

The Switch II easily converts to a Laser miner, and can mount and use up to 6 Laser drills as a Core1 CV, an impressive feat of efficiency, making this a High-function, low price, low-risk utility vehicle for mining all throughout your playthrough.

You'll never use another CV starter design after experiencing this ship's ease of use and wealth of features.
