Gorgeous design. But why o2 tanks anyway if its not for space? I tried the other version from the collection and it has also no o2 station. Another nice addition would be docking pads. It moves quite nice and can take a few shots when face taking base defences. Currently i think a good modification would be an additional rail gun (range, precision) or a swap for a missile launcher on each side. The thrusters have no cover and i'd put a wall element on the bottom to protect em. The o2 tank in front of the cockpit is also tricky since the core seems not far behind it so i'd rather put another armor in. But all in all very nice bird!

Build Requirements and Statistics screenshots added ;)

what does it take to make?

Hey where did you find the shapes to make this ships front? I am trying to repair the damage I got from a firefight I had with a drone facility next door and cant find the shapes you used on the list.

I am sure I am missing something since your ship wasnt the first one where I encountered this issue when it came time to repair.

This variant of the Moray was specifically designed for atmospheric use, and to be more like a classic plane than a space ship, hence the lack of braking thrusters ;) The original that this was based on, is a fully fledged space-going SV though. you can get it as part of the collection at

Ah OK, I didn't realise I didn't need to specifically use an O2 station to breathe in an SV. Thanks. I'm enjoying it, though it's really hard to slow down!

oh, and I did notice that the device groups contain an "o2 station" group.. that actually contains an RCS... go figure ;) I'll get that fixed.

No it doesn't. It was designed as an atmospheric craft which is a short duration flight that usually requires little o2, and the pilot feeds off the ship's o2 tanks.

there is a space for it directly behind the rear RCS blister (on top of the ship). It would be simple to remove a couple of blocks and drop one in if you need it.

Does it have an O2 station? I can't seem to find it.

Yes there's a cap on speed, different vehicles have different caps, HV's are slower than SV's, which are faster than CV's.
There are also different caps in space and on the surface.
effectively all vehicles of the same type have the same max speed, it's just how fast you get there that's iimportant ;)

Oh forgot to mention thanks for the reply and hard work in creating this craft.

Funny you mention that, is there a cap on speed I use another SV and its top speed is around 25 (using older motors) and this one should be like 3 times faster but really does not feel like it, on flying it around?
Oh top speed handling is not a priority on my list (I dont get into dog fights myself),but surving a base attack on the other hand is.
I might look at upgrading the noise cone then all good I can do that. :-)

We don't have any variants for this hanging around at the moment. I'll have a look at the BP when I get chance and see what I can do to uprate it. got to be careful though because more weight would definitely affect the flight characteristics.

Is there an armoured version, somewhere ? I alway get hit in the noise cone, (just poor driving abilities on my part) ie attacking a drone/ ghost base.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, The Moray-A Mk1 is a derivative of our other ship, the Moray Mk1, which is in the Space Moles Space Fleet collection, published by my brother, Oojimaflip.

question this is only the vanilla copy right you just renamed it right

Thanks guys. we couldn't do it without the subs and rates :D

Congradulations on making it into the game as a Blueprint!

btw if they flip over it's your driving not the ship and they easy replace :)

Super job m8 love it have 4 of them as my fighters on my carrier, changed the colours but the rest is perfect !

I think an adjustment to the disclaimers are warranted Master Shipbuilder ;)

@jrc1967 use F&F tool to raise the terrain under the cockpit, that may give enough of an angle to get into the air?

If you roll this ship on its back, particularly if you're say showing off and accidentally clip a base and then roll into some water, walk away. You're not going anywhere.

@Afederowicz Since when did Empyrion feature a fully analog throttle movement that would actually utilize the benefits of a H.O.T.A.S Setup? To my knowledge, Empyrion only uses a -digital- throttle positioning system hence, the throttle is either positive (forward +10) neutral (0 Full Stop) or negative (reverse +10). I own a Saitek X52 Pro that has a built in throttle ram just below the stick. Did I miss a changelog?

Love it but needs a O2 station adding to it. I placed one just behind the cockpit

Remember Everyone, you can add H.O.T.A.S. controllers to fly Beauties like this ! I use a Saitek HOTAS, and CH-PRO (Pro Peddles) and over 100 mods... Flawless performance, and Zero C.T.D.'s !!! Not One C.T.D. and I just keep adding more and more great ship like this, and Still, Its Rock Solid... I hope they will make detailed fully working Avionics soon, because really working Panels, and moving controls would so rock this GAME !!!!!!!!!!! Beautull MOD work Here, Thank You for your Intelligent Creative Additions to this Simulation !!!!!!!!

Thank you :)

This ship looks amazing !

Thanks for the love!

Indoknight wins the thread. Please lock.

I really love the look of this, one of a few designs that all the contours and angles truly look inspired. I struggle with designing ships that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional (usually functional means the contours get all messed up), this seems to do both really well.

LMAO @ Indoknight

When your ship looks so fly

Cuz of sweet new desgin

That's a Moray!

The color theme reminds me of Cerberus from Mass Effect 2.

Thanks for the comments. we've tried to stay away from overloading RCSs on our ships, and aero-fighters are a new thing for us, so yeah, we underestimated for this one ;)
I've added more RCS and updated the BP.

I love the ship design, but it really needs more RCS's. I added 5 but I would suggest 3 minimum to keep this agile enough to dogfight.
