Update: Upgrade the ship for Avorion 2.0

Somtaaw mining cruiser.

The Somtaaw mining ship is a mobile ore refining refinery. The small resource collectors dock on the front ramp to obliterate the collectors transport routes. The ship got 4 turret, it can defend itself against isolated pirates.

In Avorion, the game mechanics are different, so I converted the ship into a 9-slot cruiser with more gun placement and a small drone hangar.

- 8x size 4 turret placement
- 7x size 2 turret placement
- 2x hangar
- 2x docking blocks
- 1x grid block for Transporter Upgrade.

Somtaaw Bergbau Kreuzer.

Das Bergbau Schiff der Somtaaw ist eine mobile Erz Veredelung Raffinerie. Die kleinen Ressourcen Sammler docken auf der schrägen Bug Rampe um die Transportwege der Sammler zu tilgen. Mit 4 Geschütztürmen kann es sich gegen vereinzelte Piraten erwehren.

In Avorion ist die Spielmechanik anders, daher habe ich das Schiff in ein 9-Slot Kreuzer mit mehr Geschütz plätzen und kleinen Drohnenhangar.

- 8x Größe 4 Waffentürme
- 7x Größe 2 Waffentürme
- 2x Hangar
- 2x Dockingblöcke
- 1x Gerüstblock für Transporter Upgrade

Thanks, Brankor! That did the trick. The Chieftan Mk3 processor is legitimately one of my favourite ships in the franchise due to how versatile and surprisingly powerful it was. Your build looks amazing and really lives up to that legacy. Thank you for sharing it.

@Mallowoni
switch the grid size from 0,5 or 0,25. The edge turret blocks is somestimes tricky to put the turret perfect to the center of the block.

Thank you for this amazing design! I've modified it just slightly and it looks like it'll be great for my play style. The four diagonal turret bases don't seem to be working however. The game always says anything I place on them is not entirely on the block. Do I need to do something different to make those work?

@Stealth I make some upgrade to this ship. The hangars works together. If you shrink them to a 8.slot ship, it could be sme problems.

Hey Brankor!

Big fan of your work (and youtube videos :) )
One little suggestion. You have 2 small hangars inside the ship right next to the big ones. If you want to send your ship to mining mission, the game wont count the mining fighters because it seems that every hangar need to have an exit. I replaced those 2 little hangars with shield generators and it worked for me.

keep up the good work!

I don´t know the true scale of the ship because there was not official lore for the tech date. I build the ship like that they look into the origin scale this miner. I scaled to the mothership Kuun-Lan that they get the same size to my other homeworld ships.

Maybe, but I think i can´tnot build all ship from the game. That to much for me ^^;

I love this. Using it right now on SDK's as a heavy worker.

Are you scaling your ships exactly as they are in Cataclysm in the base design? Trying to figure out what the actual scale is on these ships. Like, right now this fits underneath the Kuun Lan no problem.

Are you working on the dreadnought by chance? :)
