This is the Mark II Upgrade of my Kronos Dreadnought. I learned a lot, both in terms of building pretty and in terms of building working ships since the first version, so an update was due.

Note: There is now a MKIII Version of this ship:

Here is the old version, for reference:

Following modifications were done:
- Added 20 Frontal Artillery Cannons to deal with Legacy ships. Turns out that is the intended way to snuff out their cores (You might want to turn down your volume before firing).
- Added the new (EMP) Cruise Missile Launchers. Especially the EMP ones allowed me to get rid of the Heavy Laser Cannons. I didnt add the other new RE Weapons yet. They are really pretty, if I may say so, but i am not yet convinced concerning their performance, especially considering their cost.
- Weapon limits are no longer honored. At the end of the day I built these things to use them myself, and I ended up on a Server, which doesn't enforce them. It is of course possible and always encouraged to change the Weapon layout (or really anything) to suit your own needs.
- Besides more Dakka from the sheer increase in Turrets, the new turret Hardpoints should also allow for better sight for the turrets.
- More Thrusters. The ship is still a brick. But it is now a 100 m/s fast brick.
- Rearranged the interior, generators are now at the mid-front while warp core and shield are at the back. Reason beeing the upgrades that are possible for warp core and shield with Reforged Eden. Those are just so expensive that I wanted to minimise the risk for them. To compensate for the slightly more exposed position of the generators the ship now has 9 Advanced Generators, which should allow it to fight on even if some are lost.
- There are now also some LCDs to help you find your way around the ship.

The Interior for bridge, generators and warp/shield got completely redone, subjectively improved. Minor changes to hydroponics and hangar.
I also removed some of the lights in the more obscure engine compartments, to at least somewhat keep the size class in check. Bring a flashlight if you are assigned to maintenance for those.

LCDs are modifications from sulusdacors LCD Library, so a big thanks to him for his amazing work!

Finally: This is not a META Build. If you don't care for looks and RP-Value, you will find a better investment for your resources elsewhere.

I am sorry, but what do you mean? It already has a shield generator.
If you want to add Shield upgrades have a look a the MK IV Version of this ship. This one here is an old one that is not updated for the current Version of Reforged Eden.

Can you improve this with a shield generator ? i was testing it in single player and got torn to pieces, but i gotta admit the armor is impressive, but the repair costs are higher than a top tier shield generator think about it, such a massive piece of art full of guns could really need a good shield protection of atleast 50k.

Thanks! Glad you enjoy them, that does mean a lot!

Just wanted to chime in on how insanely cool your builds are. Your style is exactly the look I've always liked for sci-fi ships, and the fact that you have an entire lineup now is crazy. Do I, as someone who plays by himself and rarely sees other players in the giant galaxy my server has, really NEED ships the size of small moons? Not at all. But I want them!

Got an upgraded Janus out in the decay cluster as my exploration ship, the Kronos MkII sitting in drydock waiting for qcores, and building a Charon now for dropping off SV presents to the poor refugees on Haven. My favorite part of Empyrion is the RP and world potential, and ships like yours make it all so much better

Thanks, but converting this version would be major undertaking. Not on the table for now.

The problem with a conversion is that the ship has way too many thrusters and generators for Vanilla and sits at 15Million Vanilla-CPU due to that. So I would need to remove some of thrusters and generators, which would require a rework of the according thruster-housings and interiors. It would be a different ship.

Please convert this masterpiece to vanilla. <3

I'll use it single player. My server is good but kinda restrictive to aloft of things. Great Ship btw

10 is just too low, building a ship of this size to that size class would end up really barebone. At least for this ship you would have to get rid of basically all the interior and possibly most of the exterior fluff.

So no, not on the table.

Sadly my server limits size class to 10. Anyway to have an Updated version for a smaller size class.

i just wanted you to know that i tested this ship in battle against a zirax battlecruiser, frigate, and corvette at the same time and WON! with minimal damage to this ship. There were no hull breaches and the ship was still ready for more
