Phenomenal. In my 3.3k+ Hours in EGS I have only come across one or two other builds that tick so many boxes for me. This is the only battleship in the current era of Reforged Eden that I would consider a must have. I have tried dozens of RE1 Core9 and higher battleships, none come close to having this sleek shape, this clear of turret firing lines, and this durable of a frame with decoys, and still have enough room for this many upgrades.

My hat is off to you ArtemisRogue, this thing is a living legend in my mind. A day after spawning it I have all 10 Aux core for it and numerous for other ships and I just pasted a Tovera with turrets at 1.1km while at 5FPS (potato PC)... in less than 5 mins. This ship obviates all threats I've seen without even Quants yet.

It's already been re-built for RE2, but was renamed "The Hero v2"

Another selling point not mentioned is that if you get into the superstructure of this ship there is actually room to cram all 50/50 crew (Human/Alien) into all the crevices for an easy 250k CPU before even getting Quants/Auxes. Turning this into the best version of a Core 9 available, I was able to then easily take on Swarm Controllers, Capacitor Arrays, and up to 2 Nullifiers at once using an only turret loadout (My potato PC can only manage ~10 FPS in combat so manual fire weapons are nearly impossible to be very accurate with). The extra 250k was a huge part of making that possible.

I hope you are planning to update this to RE2, because this is the only combat ship I want to or need in my life and I'm low-key waiting for it to try RE2 now.

@Artemis, First huge fan of your work, very innovative and creative designs! Bounced around on a lot of your and currently running this in Spanj's BE server.
How would this ship look fully kitted out? Besides shield pieces and fusion gen, I think I see what would look to be spots for additional thrusters behind the solar panels? Was there intenton for adding more thrusters?
Also what about weapon layout, I watched the video and it looks like that's just a TON of laser turrets? Genuinely ignorant question as I've barely killed Toveras before without having something that just massively overpowers them. I'm not the best at ship combat but I'm trying to learn.

2 Cap, 1 Charger, is how I rolled in this Xarq. Keep the charger out of the front-most position, as if you lose it, you probably wont be able to regen until it's replaced.

@Palentier - the Shield Relays still fit just fine as of 4/16/2024. You gotta rotate them around to the correct orientation.

Art,

I put a Fusion Reactor in one of the large spaces in the middle of the ship. As far as the other 3 large spaces - do you recommend 2 capacitor relays 1, charger ? or 2 chargers relays, 1 capacitor ?

You need to flip them on their side, with the top or bottom facing the front/back of the ship, as shown in the screenshot on this ship's workshop page shows. They were 5 x 5 x 4 blocks tall, I am not aware of them having been changed.

I'm not sure if an update has changed the size of shield arrays, but they do not seem to fit in the spaces you have provided. Any ideas about this?

Thank you very much for this wonderful ship, I think this is now my favorite, it flies great, shoots cool, and is very easy to control.
There are several questions:
1. Where do you plan to install the radar, I couldn’t find any special place for it, I stuck it there where the constructors are installed.
2. I still don’t understand what specific ships the small hangars are intended for. I thought about using some small ship for salvage, but I couldn’t find any suitable one.
3. I couldn’t understand how to use “marked thruster expansion” and how the engines should be installed in them.
4. The location of the medical capsules is such that if you are resurrected in one of them in a hangar with the engines running, you will immediately burn out.

@ Mo @rocnestgames - You're missing a fusion reactor. Personally I plan on putting 1 or 2 Advanced Generators up by the front where the Large Gen decoys are currently at - and then using that space where the four advanced generators are for a Fusion Reactor. (I think it'll fit)

I've heard that you have to have some type of power source to "power up" a fusion reactor for the first time or the fusion reactor will blow up.

I'm loving the ship thus far Art!

I must be missing something. I've got four adv gennies, got my Bastion, my 8 med shields, and my 3 large shields, and I'm running at 111% reactor. Am I missing more adv. genny slots, or a fusion reactor?

Not gonna win you a Tovera fight or anything, but I definately like having a full set on my ship when there is space.

Theyre a very efficient turret, vs. shields and devices about 300% more efficient than a laser turret, theyre also good at making lunchmeat out of drones.

Are those sentry guns on this really important for PDC, or are they just used as decoys?

Thank you!

Also if you are fighting legacy with it, consider spreading some of the manual lasers around so that whether an enemy turret is only seeing the top of your ship, or the side of your ship, and is targetting your manual weapons, is will see a manual laser, and not a manual artillery piece. So one out on the wing a bit, and 1 at least 1 block above your artillery. The only way I've lost a legacy encounter was from losing too many artillery pieces to finish the fight, so spread those manual lasers around a bit as decoys to protect your Coring tools.

I'd choose this one, the Stratovarius, because its narrow at the nose, intentionally, allowing more layers of armor thickness in a thinner profile for better weight efficiencies. You can add more armor internally from the back of the nose, and you can also upgrade a lot of the existing nose from hardened steel, to combat steel, if you wanted it even beefier, it can handle the extra weight but I tend to only put as much armor as I feel is necessary. Disruptors are not very dangerous unless you are fighting from long range, allowing them to 'pinhole' through your armor, So dont, get up close and personal to it where the body of the enemy ship obstructs most of its own turrets and divides the remaining ones on multiple targets, & Core it expeditiously.

Howdy Art,

Big fan of your creations.

Quick question - Which ship among your creations do you think is best for Legacy CV combat?

Stratovarius ?
The Terror?
The Exeter?
RE The Animal II ?
The Tempest?

If you could only pick one.. which has the best combat potential for mid to early end game? (say you had 5 or 6 Aux cores to put in it after spawning)

This one's my pride and joy Jack, they don't need to be huge to tackle everything this game throws at you, Im glad you like it!

Most capable core 9 ship I have ever flown, ----drones no problem, legacy no problem, really unbelievable! Thanks!!!

Awsome ship

awesome !

is this a mistake? "...& dual-hangars for a harvester or small SV."

Yes it is.

Hold up, is the detector targetable as a weapon?

god i wish you would make a super carrier :D RE

I'm in creative, and can't find a Medium shield charger? I see a Shield charger coupling, but looks much beefier than the large.

Done and done thank you Jacab

Only a couple of extremely minor gripes. No oxygen tank on the top floor, and the fact that it doesn't dock flat on its landing pads. other than that, amazing ship.

Absolutely loving it. Really shines with a couple of Drone cores to get it going

This truly is a work of Art. Fantastic use of space. Looking forward to using

Verify your game files and try restarting your computer Wolf.

what wonderful flyer; can't get it to completely spawn in creative - the top of the whole rear section only partially forms
