Description
Apollo is a fully solar powered starter CV, made for Reforged Eden & unlock at level 12. What makes Apollo very unique is that the solar panels will fully power the thrusters while flying, making this nearly a fuel free CV to operate!

Apollo will consume a small amount of fuel to charge the shield, and when doing aggressive maneuvers. Normal flying & casual turning will typically keep power consumption negative, meaning fully solar powered. Plus, when the ship is idle it will also power the Advanced Constructor! You do not need to turn off the thrusters to use the constructor.

Key Features:
- Unlock level 12
- 48 Solar Panels
- Warp Drive
- Compact Shield
- 4 Minigun Turrets & Ammo Box
- 640k Cargo Controller & 232k Harvest Controller
- Spacing for 18 Grow Plots
- Full Medical
- Advanced Constructor
- Fridge & Food Processor
- O2 Station, Armor Locker, Shower, Bathroom, & Gravity Generator

As seen in the pictures, it is completely encased in Solar Panels, so non-shielded combat must be avoided.

Yeah... I added an additional turret mount on the front and I'm currently using it on my current start. Thanks for confirming and it works great. Just finished getting to Polaris territory and getting read for the slog for resources for a Zeus and a combat SV. Then a combat CV after that. Trying to get it done...

Not at all. That’s why I included the harvest controller 😉

Is it bad that I want to throw a drill turret on this thing because it has a harvest controller?

Just spawned it in on Anvil - superb ship and room on the cpu to add thrusters - great job.

@Miles it sounds like either fuel or CPU issues, gotta have fuel in it when you first turn it on

I’ve not heard of any other issues. There are 2 in use in my faction & they have no issues.

Shield won't work, seems super buggy, guessing its something to do with Reforged Eden and power status going negative/flipping occasionally through zero to positive and back to negative. Tried removing the shield, removing the core, removing generator, adding extra generators removing pentaxit tank and re-adding all this stuff. Also spawned it four different times of my survival playthrough tried saving a new template with no shield and then adding it. No beuno this thing is broken atm, suspect RE bug. I only got it to work once briefly and it instantly went to 10% shields upon leaving atmosphere and entering space. But the ship randomly falls in atmo and it fell on my base after I got it to work and then it took glitchy damage while jiggling around on the base, shields also turned red/off again the second I went back in atmo. - Anyone seeing similar issues? maybe 1.9 reforged broke it on dec 20/21st 2022.
