Starter CV

[MineVoid]

Anyone have blueprints to a decent starter CV with everything I need to survive in space? Shoot, even a whole ship series would be nice. I'm not a good builder, so I don't even wanna try lmao. Always building those cubes. If anyone provides, I appreciate it :D

JRandals - prepare to be overwhelmed with the number of ships!
both Vanilla and Reforged Eden (workshop mod)

What's Reforged Eden?

[Buzzard]

Project Eden and Reforged Eden are mod-scenarios that bring in some new blocks and mechanics. Project Eden is a bit of an expansion, where Reforged Eden goes even further, with a bit of extra challenge thrown in.
Project Eden builds will generally work in a Reforged world, but Reforged builds don't always fit in the Project Eden worlds. (Again, more stuff in Reforged)

As to building cubes... Do they work? Do they keep surviving for various reasons? Then there's no reason to change other than "I don't like the looks" or "Looks are better than winning".
Why yes, I do fly ugly damn ships that keep on going, even after I do stupid things with them.

Ahh okay cool. And yeah, they work, but I would rather have better looking ships than flying a cube through the galaxy lmao. I'm kind of picky when it comes to this. I'm like this with Space Engineers, Avorion, and any game that requires us to build.

You can build a cube or board first, then add some blocks to change the shape later.

But I choose the “Wayfarer-ST” from workshop as my second CV in vanilla solo game.

A very nice starter mobile base in vanilla solo game.
Defence is weak, but you can add shield soon.
This ship has lot of space for adding equipment(Thrusters, CPU....) and docking your SV/HV.
It is very easy to reach cockpit from outside or from the vessel you docking on this CV, this is very important.
Besides, it looks good, and the style inside this ship is very comfortable.

Type "starter CV" in the workshop filter, there are loads, mostly flying bricks, but there is some nice designs.
for vanilla i started with the Patron-V Transport (available by default in the factory), spent days making the docking bay fit a PVR-380 (tank) once i had the zarcosium alloy I upgraded to a TIGER PAW from the workshop,

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2281717803

adjusted it so it had a landing deck on top to fit a MERC-AMX and a Cobalt moon, and better access to the boarding ramp. Renamed the EXP-01 ) i can upload it if you want - guns are removed to make it cheaper on Zarcosium alloy.
the tiger paw i stopped using in Reforged Eden, as the fuel tanks once hit - made the back half disappear in a puff of plasma, after that i stuck to RE specific designs.

the best bit about EGS is you can pretty much do what you want, POIs, sure, BPs to fit that, explore? Bps to fit that too, salvage everything, loot everything, take your pick,
big ships, small ships, fancy ships, flying bricks, what ever floats your boat.

strongest advice is produce it in creative FIRST, if you like the design, it fits how you play, then build it in the factory, as recycling a 2k+ ship takes a long time - unless you have a vehicle that does that ;) (scarab-SE with multi-tool turret, or a timberwolf with turret)

in creative you can then change it to what you want, save the BP (alt+O) then when you come to your game its all ready for you the way you want it. (like i did with the EXP-01 and EXP-02)

second tip, you dont have to use a ship that is heavy on Zarcosium ally (its mostly in the guns) use Cannons to start, once you have the alloy you can upgrade to lasers, missiles or plasma - focus on being able to move star system, run from the fights until your confident you can win.

Comrade ! Which starter CV do you prefer ?

Oh... I am late.

My son likes running POIs so my workhorse CV is :
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2416680251

Apollo HGD (high gravity dropship) 4x cannon 8x minigun for surface (not space) combat (POIs) - for space combat - i run away in it!
- inside was an Achilles, now an Anubis as the Achilles just couldn't go toe to toe with a drone base or anything that had a shield in RE (all models are available in vanilla) due to the x10 laser damage.

the artillery allows you to sit out of range and pound the Core (if you know where it is)
along with that a Hell diver HGSV (14 drills) for high end surface deposits (gold, aluminuium etc)
when im on my own, im liking the Seeker -

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2353934400

it does a bit of everything but its RE only i think.

Space combat
before watching some videos with catchy heavy metal music i was a bit of a noob.
to much WOS or Warthunder - i was too two dimensional, lost a few ships and decided to keep away from space combat until i had a better understanding on how to fight.
i think its fair to say the current method is to "not get hit in the first place"
high delta ships - mostly plastic with a shield, press A or D, and pulse E or Q to spin between 300-700m

Okay sweet. This info will help me a lot. I've never actually made it out the starter system. I've never had space combat, so I'll have to see how that goes lol. But sure, if you wanna upload that, I could for sure use that :D

[Egoblast]

i seem to have deleted the EXP-01 and 02 to make room for other designs... oops

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2471083180
is a vanilla ship

[Niuq]

About as cheap as you can get for a CV.
Micro CV / starter
Easy to disassemble
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2356941031

Micro CV with warp drive
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2231834691

Small Starter CV i like to use for Vanilla or reforged
Perfect size for quick in and out POI looting.
Tend to park a HV miner on the roof when playing reforged.
