Vanilla | Survival | No Subgrids | No Scripts | DLC


The X-800 Demeter is an ion powered, heavily armored frigate. It posseses plenty of firepower and is by far the best pvp ship in the Cepheus Collection.


My goal for this ship was to create a simple warship and make it as powerful as possible. I'm not a pro at pvp, but I think it will do fairly well at that. Every turret is welded up by atleast two welders, which are hidden behind heavy armor and welded up themselves. The entire front is covered in heavy armor with welded decoys in the middle, but ultimately expendable. All of the important systems (thrusters, most turrets, power, jump drives etc.) are hidden in the back. Everthing on this ship is redundant. Even with the heavy armor and powered only by ion thrusters it still is remarkably agile and fast, so you can always present the heavily armored front to the enemy while trying to reach his blind spot. Its biggest downside is probably the lack of missile turrets, I honestly just didn't like their look on this ship. The three of them that are there are practically indestructible though.

The destroyer you can see on some of the screenshots is this one.

The inspiration for the shape mostly came from a literal sperm whale :D

I am with Reaper King. I would love a hydrogen version of this thing. I would base a whole play through around it. I love the layout of the engineering and such. A bit of a strange choice with all the bathrooms but that's okay.

would you consider making a hydrogen version

its like a mix of the Io and the CAS056 from infinite lagrange

Nice, very nice Hull I am actually refitting it. adding some hydro thruster to allow atmospheric flight shielding it as much as i can due to the kinda cramped hull. and modernizing the armaments

Once again Very nice work Man

i love the start to finish picture

That would take almost the same amount of effort as building a completely new ship, which I'd much rather want to do. So, unfortunately you'll have to do it yourself.

nice ship but can you make it whit Hydrogen plz and no Interior turrets on the outside since those are annoying to refill whit ammo sonce they are never connected to conveyer

I can now defeat this "in testing" with an entirely player made weapons PVP craft. Piston guns and my vanilla distraction and shield systems. I would love to demonstrate/ test the technology with you in person. I see this as a wonderful example of a PVP craft. It isn't easy. If you have an interest in a one of one... let me know :)

Thank you for making this ship it interested a lot, I really like those types of ships that are used for combat i like you make heavy armored ships from time to time and i was wondering if we could aid each other in making the best combat ships on the market or at least coming close to them I really look forward to working on said battle ships with you in the future
