Description and Lore

The Orkney Class Destroyer was developed and built by Red Dragon Enterprises for the Confederated Pioneer Republic. The first hull produced, named "Moon Dancer", fought in multiple battles during the Supremacy War with the Pioneer Military Alliance, achieving 2 kills but ultimately being destroyed in battle. It's destruction was very unlucky, with it jumping at the beginning of a battle and ending up directly in the sights of an enemy destroyer, which was able to destroy it's bridge with a single volley.

The Orkney was a converted civilian cargo ship. Instead of regular cargo pods, it carried decoy pods which were very effective at drawing fire away from the ship. Like other RDE ships, it received a constant stream of upgrades. It was still a very effective design at the time of it's destruction.

Credit and Links

The Orkney was created for the Space Engineers Outlands series produced by GetBrocked on YouTube. The design uses the Outlands modpack. The mods I used to assist with the screenshots came recommended by Taidyr, who makes fantastic content as well.

If you want a quick color conversion, then I recommend this block recoloring mod, which will greatly simplify the process. Color Replacer Blocks - V2

Please feel free to modify the ship to fit your in game needs. Just be sure to give credit to the original creator.

Author's Notes
This one makes me kind of sad. I don't think it was my best work aesthetically, but it performed well. It's destruction really was a result of extremely unlucky circumstances. The initial jump placed it directly in front of the only enemy ship present that was a real threat to it, and with Orkney oriented in the worst possible way. Anyways, this was an entirely new design I made for Outlands. The primary reason I built it was to compete with other effective destroyer designs, namely a CPR destroyer called "Argo Vesta", designed by KitKat. I don't think it ever quite surpassed that one in performance, but it still did very well. I hope you like this ship and enjoy it!
