I mostly used it as a head quarter in space, and bring with me a smaller CV to visit planets, but it have no problem entering planets. Able to lift a total weight of 330Kt on 1G planet and 105Kt on 4G planet. Have also used it to take out several space POI's.

Big, but not to big to be run by a single player. Does well on it's own, but the intended use is in combination with a big SV or smaller CV.

Thanks! Tanzanite will get a overhaul at some point, there is some missing textures and weird colors. So i will convert the "IW Tanzanite MK II" over to vanilla and update it at some point.

Punn Jun 9, 2021 @ 3:51pm

Thanks, I'll try and give both of them a test run. Great builds :)

Hi Punn! I have not tested it against that. I'm pretty sure the Tanzanite can do it. So i asume if you equip this one with the same amount of weapons as the Combat steel version of Topaz, it should have similar firepower. I'm currently testing a larger version of Topaz X. But if you want large hangar, i think this one or Tanzanite is the way to go :)

Punn Jun 9, 2021 @ 1:45pm

Is the Black Opal able to take on the Legacy ships like the Topaz can? Or close to it?

icewolfen [author] Jan 22, 2021 @ 7:34am

Thanks! A good tip for make parking easier is to press alt to get free look, then use the arrow keys to turn the vessel and mouse to control camera. If the carrier is leveled out by pressing O then the SV also can be leveled out by pressing O and that makes it a lot easier to park in narrow areas. Personally i only used those parking lots for vessels i didn't use that often. More for backup SV's

Yeah the IW Ruby does fit in there good enough and also get out but the IW Diamond Star for example I can get into the parking spot but getting it out takes a while. But anyway the Tanzanite doesn't really have that problem since it has an extra parking spot where the Ramp on the Black opal is.
But than again I had problems even getting the Ruby in there yesterday while today it somehow works, I'm probably still not used to just flying into things and not expect the ship to completely crash as it was the case with some other games.
So again just great work on those Capital Carrier Vessels, I'll also check out the other ships but those just caught my eye first.

icewolfen [author] Jan 21, 2021 @ 7:26am

Thanks :) When i built the parking space, i tested with all my SV's that i had built up until this point and i was able to park all of them. The Tanzanite might have wider parking lots. The height is the same tho.

This is a really nice CV, I came across your builds starting with the Black Pearl which already was a great CV but now I'm looking through your other work to see what else you've build.
However I've got one small problem with this Ship, the VIP parking space is pretty much useless since the farm blocks the direct way onto it making the ship size you can actually get onto that parking spot extremely small. However I've seen that you've already created a rework of this for Reforged Eden and once I start playing that I'll check out wether this flaw was corrected in that version. Keep up the great work!

A slightly larger but size class 8 reforged xeno edition of this will probably be released during next week. A prototype can be found in my Discord.

icewolfen [author] Jul 27, 2020 @ 8:10pm

@CPT Dude Thanks a lot! Lol, i'm having a hard time to choose myself :P And just to make it even harder, my plan of making a small CV for the Opal ended up with me started building a super carrier that is at least 4 times bigger than the Opal xD so the custom CV adapted to Opal is put on hold for now
