Hiigaran Assault Corvette R.E.A.R.M - HomeWorld 2

A small ship designed to emulate the look and feel of the ships from the R.E.A.R.M. mod for the classic game HomeWorld 2.

Details:


Weight: 197,000Kg
Length: 22m

2 Mods- Shield Generators & Battle Cannons
Survival ready- loaded with Ice, Uranium & Ammo.
Full conveyor system
Oxygen & Hydrogen systems
Hydrogen & Ion thrusters- space only, will not work in gravity
1 Gatling Gun
2 Bofors 40mm quad-barrel turrets
Cargo storage and Connector for refuelling and rearming

Features:

Fighter Cockpit for better visibility
Concealed thrusters- most thrusters are inside the ship, block damage is turned ON- adequate space is allowed to prevent thrusters damaging near-by blocks.
Light Armour for better speed and manoeuvrability

Uses: two mods

Since Gatling guns now seem to shred through Heavy Armour like it's tin foil, I decided to switch to Light Armour and added 2 Mods to the ship; Shield Generators by Cython:

40mm Bofors from the Battle Cannon and Turrets mod pack by Rider:

You will need to subscribe to these mods and have them active in the world settings before pasting the ship into your world or trying to weld the blueprint from a projection.


There are two large Shield Generators inside the Assault Corvette that provide 20,000 Shield Energy Points- not a huge amount, but enough to protect the ship during dog fights and attack runs; it also recharges quite rapidly so multiple attacks can be made in one 'mission'.
The pair of 40mm Bofor quad-barrel turrets provide excellent fire power in a compact package, allowing the ship to engage multiple targets at once, targets that may well be larger and more heavily armed but slower moving- punching above your weight-class with the Assault Corvette
is highly encouraged. The new chin-mounted vanilla Gatling cannon allows the ship to fulfil a traditional fighter role for direct attacks if needed or as a back-up to the main weapons.

Summary:

Besides using a two mods and switching to Light Armour, the Assault Corvette now uses a Fighter Cockpit for a better flight experience and visibility, making it much more enjoyable to pilot and handle better during combat and docking operations.
