Empyrion Galactic Survival - New Starter CV Concepts

[@jeffrandall2813]

Hey everyone! Here are the you tube links to the potential blocks for Empyrion Galactic Survival by CptCaveman! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3O1m6SDjbZljtk kzbin.info/www/bejne/emPLg56GopeCqaM

I want all of those blocks and I'd give them money for them in a hot second.

[@cptcaveman1]

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the shout out. I will be releasing another video with some more blocks... It would be awesome to see these blocks in game. Looking forward to hearing how people feel about carbon and seeing your finished CV :)

[@jeffrandall2813]

Very cool videos and blocks! I hope they get noticed and put in the game! And thank you!

[@cptcaveman1]

@@jeffrandall2813 Cheers, We can hope :)

Thank you for giving us a new replacement for the Wayfarer with mining. Yes to solar. So many of us use a strarter as a combination base/cv. It's nice to be able to land on a new planet to gather resorces as the farms grow and the constructers refine oar and make ratiotions. Comming back to the grow lights being out and the food in the fridges filled with rotten food sucks. I will add solar to the wayfarer and give up the top landing space .to avoind running dry when zipping around a planet in a SV.

[@jeremyortiz2927]

Starter CVs are my favorite builds. Always a challenge balancing weight, CPU, function, and maneuverability.

[@mjrootz]

Hello Jeff, Yes to solar panels.. I like the idea of shutters in front of mining drills so they are protected Good work, looking forward to trying/modding it..

[@Khalifrio]

I agree totally in the dislike of split farming areas. I am not a fan of carbon hull blocks. I would much rather have steel and just enlarge the thruster assemblies for larger thrusters from the start. Yes it would increase the cost of the ship in the factory but its a price I would be willing to pay. As to the solar its not something I expect to find on a small starter CV. Solar is more for the mid to end game CV's where the ships get larger and have room to squeeze solar in more easily. In case you missed it, Eleon has said a future update to the game will make it possible for enemy AI's to target and attack SV/HV's docked on the hull of a CV. I look for exposed landing pads to go away at that point.

[@tarsis6123]

Interesting, Then we can start armoring our CVs with ablative HVs.

[@sethspriggs6476]

@Jeff Randall; Also don't quote me on it I only remember this in passing having watched part of Spanj's chilling and building stream on RG 2.0... Pretty sure Vermillion said CV solar was out in 2.0 RFE.

[@igloo6975]

Looking good so far. As for solar, please do. I'm learning how valuable and convenient it is to extend or negate fuel usage at ship idle early to mid game in a multi-player server.

[@sethspriggs6476]

@Jeff Randall; You could run a composite of steel in the obvious angles of attack and carbon for everything else to give you a modicum of mitigation while still balancing lift to weight ratios. Is the massive hangar door not a pretty significant weight if you are running all carbon? If you're running away from whatever with your shields down you're more than likely going to lose something anyhow. If it were me, I'd downgrade the amount of storage and figure out some open air vehicle bay. If you are using carbon and shields then you need to think more about everything being replaceable/disposable.

[@kbnorealplan2244]

Probably not worth throwing in solar. Reforged Galaxy 2 alpha is currently toying with removal of solar in place for turbines, rendering solar builds obsolete. No idea how long we'll be looking at for Reforged Eden 2 to be released, though.

[@VidereOrbis]

Hi Jeff, those blocks you linked would be great. Not sure if you saw the new road map Eleon published today but it mentioned new blocks are coming in the summer update.

[@cptcaveman1]

Hi Lo, I could only see New deco Block shapes implementation and Water/Lava Blocks logic. mentioned on the roadmap. Is there mention of any other blocks that I have missed?

[@VidereOrbis]

@@cptcaveman1 Oh I thought deco blocks also meant normal blocks.

[@dazkaz15]

No to solar. With those mining drills promethium wont be a problem for fuel. Carbon is great to reduce weight and CPU, especially with a shield, but maybe build a strong point around the pilot and the core. The last starter CV is looking great. Can't believe you got it even smaller than the Wayfarer, which is a personal favourite of mine, that I have modified myself many times, in many playthroughs.

[@Toughbeard]

I do not play RE but one thing I would love to see in Vanilla is Solar panels on CVs. Carbon is fine for starter ship. you will not be taking on the universe with this. It is a starter ship. You are over thinking it. For all my vanilla ships: The ship is built out of extenders and airtight cargo containers for gaps rest windows, blast doors, and hangar doors. rest carbon. This is usually my base aswell. In RE you can put solar on it as well which is really nice. 4 lift thrusters 2 for rest full medical suit one large constructor for complex stuff 4 small constructors for basics. basic cpu extender is the first important upgrade for me. then shields. once you start progressing through the game you can build what ever you want. I try to fit as many farms as I can on my ships. I also try to make them convinient to use. Easy to get on and get to the seat etc. I try to avoid using elevators as much as possible. Anyways looks awesome.

[@Toughbeard]

forgot to add spot for a sv and hv :)

[@mystiawildfire1664]

Well this took a bit of thought as I'm not really good at building starter CVs, mine usually turn out to be T3. You wouldn't think that all the starter parts just takes you to T1 but they do. I never thought of replacing steel with carbon, so I might give it another try. You could try the small solar panels, just to see what they look like, that's what I usually do. I will definitely look at the blocks videos, as I would love new blocks to play with. Thanks!

[@glenr7393]

You could easily drop 3 constructors, just leave space for them, thus saving cpu for at least 1 rear turret plus the grav gen and 1 drill.

[@hartersmarter6162]

From 300 hours i put in a game, 90% of the time i fly "Wayfarer-ST". God bless you, Jeff.

[@jeffrandall2813]

Thank you! :)

[@M00_be-r]

More shapes/blocks is the best news I heard in ages Jeff, let s hope we get them soon! ;-)

[@pernopt]

just throwing it out there, small cv that can dock on the supremacy designed to take out ground poi's easily

[@markyerhardt]

Looks Great

[@moonraven8394]

No to solar. It gets phased out in RE 2.0 anyway. Also if you're looking for inspiration. How about looking at the ships of X4-Foundations? Edit: On the hull: Carbon or steel doesn't matter if you are attacked by another capitalship, but the better 'lift to weight ratio' will help it as a starter.

[@tarsis6123]

I would say no to solar. With it being phased out for RE2, and not in vanilla, it is an outlier that the owner could add if their scenario permits. I like carbon. I would usually rather have mobility and shields for my non combat ships, and some reinforced places on a combat ship. Carbon is fast and cheap to repair, cheap to build, and so nice and light. Thanks Jeff!

[@edaimald]

Not sure solar is a must on a starter CV, you would always be around a ground base where you would have a couple of hydrogen extractors to make hydrocells. Carbon for the hull is fine with the shield, very unlike that drones would down them or that one would actively look for trouble with this ship 😊

[@sonofcolossus7766]

or ships that have shields to rely on them

[@pfelia89]

When you are rebuilding the thruster housing to place a turret would it be possible to make them roomy enough for thruster upgrades? Just for forward and down thrust, I think. imo keep the carbon if the intent is just to fight drones, though it may be a good build for putting the main core beside the pilot seat so if you get in a sticky situation the core will get popped and the AI will leave all the more valuable parts and storage alone.

[@jbownik]

Yes to this.

[@seiryu78]

Hey Jeff, Carbon is fine for starter CV. and no to solar panels.

[@nothemal4050]

Between vanilla and RE 2.0, not sure if solar would be worth it.

[@hardworker-y4z]

Id love a swivel , or rotate

[@LittleBigStory]

Thanks for the helpful and interesting videos! Can you please tell me how to put solar panels on capital ships?

[@jeffrandall2813]

Thank you! To put solar panels on CV's you must be using the Reforged Eden scenario. You should see solar panels as parts for CV's then. But as others said, solar panels are going away on CV's in Reforged Eden 2. I hope that helps. And thanks again!

[@brandonpowers1121]

You can also use the scenario called 'Sticky Galactic Combat' to add Solar to CV's

[@LittleBigStory]

@@jeffrandall2813 The solar panels themselves mounted on the big ship without any problems, but the electricity is not coming. There is no solar capacitor as for the bases. Statistics also show that there is no power generation. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

[@sonofcolossus7766]

carbon only shines in high end movement base combat ships

[@ICKY427]

you and i have very different definitions of "starter cv" lol. id call these mid game for sure

[@jameshaley3831]

looks good, no solar please

[@rc-st9pg]

New Blocks? No of course not. That would be like adding new textures. Stockholm syndrome is a comfortable emotional place.

[@falcongames2222]

hello, good night friend... I want to give you an affectionate challenge... I would like to see you try to make a spaceship that looks like MILANO from the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY in the movie, can you succeed? I've tried everything and I couldn't even get close lol
