Refits are important, empyrion changed over the years especially if you play RE, im keeping this anyway maybe i will personally do it for private usage as it was one of the first ships i used during my journeys thanks for that.

Well good thing you didn't [made it re-fit].

It would require another one for RE2 anyway.

Good chance for finally get it done.

And thank you so much for staying around.

Cheers! ^•^

Yeah, Empyrion mechanics have shifted over the years and I haven't updated my work to keep pace. My enjoyment of the game was waning for some time, but the CPU system was the final nail in the coffin.

At this point, the Aetheria is little more than a pretty shell, and will require extensive internal overhaul in order to restore basic mobility and operations. She hails from a time when it took hundreds of RCS to make an SV of this scale move, and I have zero interest or motivation in reworking it myself these days.

It is cool looking yacht.

But man this thing sux at understanding.
And 2 shafts for Size6 on sides where lazer drill getting 50% range wasted?

Also had to re-fit core with Vent to drop in CPU booster - cause it wont take off.

Otherwise, besides fragile coating and top-trunk for fast boarding - it is what it is - visual appealing comfort liner.

Ship won't take off?

Nice polish, it gave me a few ideas as an interlocking transport into a battle harness, now just getting the mechanics and circuits to talk to each to become a controller of the other on two separate items.

you should be an author

You got the idea from this from the Origin 890 Jump, right?

A nice job on this. I was a bit disappointed that the beds are not usable. Not for extended cruising I guess.

Because this is an old design from back when 150+ RCS were needed to make an SV this size turn worth a damn, and CPU didn't exist. I'm sorry to say that I no longer have much interest in EGS, and lack any motivation to try updating it to more recent standards.
The good news is, a version of it exists in the game already as the 'KVE Aetheria LTS' prefab, which to my knowledge should be more up-to-date and CPU-compliant.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but when I build this, there are over 150 RCS blocks in this design which breaks the CPU requirements of this ship. I find that only a couple of RCS blocks are needed, so why the huge spam?

I tried to find all the RCS blocks, but they're simply everywhere, and almost impossible to get rid of without destroying the ship in the process.

The elegant design and all those little details (oven, chess board, symbols out of stripes, decoration columns) show just how much heart you put into this. Really brilliant!

Elegant!! I can totally see McFlufface in its creation!!

I haven't updated this BP in a very long time, and unfortunately the CPU system utterly broke it. Fortunately, a similar variant (updated by Vermillion) is already one of the stock blueprints, and should function just fine.

If you want something even fancier, try the ALV Phaetusa by CrazyZ. It's basically what the Aetheria would look like, if it were built by someone competent.

It's a beautiful ship....but for some reason i cant get it to take off?

This is by far the most beautiful SV I've ever laid eyes on, both inside and out.

Wonderful ship. Had it back when I first played the game and had to have it again when I started back up recently.

I am unable to find your KHV-12 Drifter though! I have it sub'd, but it is missing from the workshop so doesn't show up..............is it gone?

look at this yacht star citizen put out it looks strangely familiar

I can't comment on this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1845572632 because I don't have the game, but it's a beautiful build.

Almost certainly. If nothing else, I feel an obligation to keep the BPs that were adopted as prefabs current - the Aetheria, Argentspire, and Basalt (base T1b I think?).

Are you going to update this to Alpha 10?

I spawned this ship yesterday and the attention to detail is outstanding ... excellent job my friend!

Stunning vessel kieve, luxuy indeed, Love the interior work as well as the exterior.

pretty ship, but for a luxury ship theres a lack of weapons i mean "the rich guys" should be able to afford the best weapons possible.

If you like. :) A link back to the original is all I ask.

I play mostly Survival and wanted to convert a Vesel to a mobile Base so i can ditch my Base. I used your work and build a CV with your design. It is quite big :D Since i read that many people in the community wanted a CV version of this beautiful design, i wanted to ask if i may publish the CV Version?

There is a hard-steel version, not made by me though.
Aetheria Hardened was done by Wolfrahm

do you have a version of this with hardened steel?

juste superbe beautifull :) merci thx good job

holy fuck

Your the designer of the Prefab version found in the base game. Cool, thought it was too luxurious for a Dev build.

I hate to disappoint, but I have no plans to turn this particular design into a CV. There are a lot of reasons why, but fear not - a luxury CV to compliment the Aetheria will someday see the light of day.

However, Myrmidon has been working on a pretty faithful conversion, so if you truly thirst for that Aetheria CV, I encourage you to support his efforts on that :)
Some previews... [empyriononline.com]

I took a pic of this ship a long time ago just thought i'd share it.

This is a gorgeous ship. Like a luxury cruise liner in space. I agree with Joew, please make a CV version.

Sick dude, nice job.

Or make the same ship but as CV, please :D

Thank you very much!!!

Do u accept requests? This is the most beautiful ship that i found, congratulations! I really would like to see one like those design but bigger, one capital verssel with some hangars to space small vessels and hovers.

Thank you!!!

Still can´t take my eyes off that build. The slope section underneath the bridge and the bent washroom design...amazing

I hope you dont mind, I converted her to a CV. Beautiful work, Ive had a version of this ship on every server Ive played on.

is this ship real?
are you from the future? :D
beautful work, inspiring

My kid and I play co-op and this is the ship we use to explore. Incredibly well built.

@Kieve :
Hey man, you should know that when I build a non-cannon Ship into my Star Trek Map, you know it's got to be friggan' Good! Every Compliment you got you earned! I just hope to see more Spacecraft in This Style in the Future!

@Roytulin, Starcloak, Plain Awful - thank you all very much for the compliments. Please know that the response and encouragement is deeply appreciated. I honestly didn't expect much when I uploaded this ship, and I am absolutely blown away by the comments here. :)

@NAFT TANK - Funny thing, I didn't really understand the GTA comments, so I went looking to see what the reference is... have to say, I still don't quite get it. Though the tagline on the Aquarius did give me a chuckle. "This one. Obviously."

@garyice - I've been periodically sharing progress on the Soleil NXT on the EGS forums, but here's a quick peek from the last update: https://i.imgur.com/9psdFg9.jpg Right now she's about 60% done, I'd say, but it's very slow going.

Very well put together

Sleek, Sexy, Perfect!

yep gta best yacht has been beaten

This looks like Sir Paul McCartneys Space Yacht.

Well done.

@Kieve I have a lot to practice to be able to build such a beautiful and elegant ship.

Please let us know when your "hybrid" is ready You made me curious AFAIK you cannot put CV stuff onto SV nor SV blocks onto CV So I just wonder maestro what kind of magic trick you will be pull out. :D

Anyway Challenge set by you: maybe one day or by someone Aehteria becomes a CV. At least from the outside.
