Exodus Explorer

The Exodus Explorer is a mid-level CV based on the in-game wreck that sometimes appears in the Polaris Minefield area in the Ellyon system. The vanilla version is basically a blasted hulk that's been blown apart after striking one of the mines.

Over the course of one playthrough I decided to salvage the vessel and build it up into something that could be used for long term exploration. It is now considerably larger than the original and has all of the expected comforts of a nice home away from home, filling the role of an extended mission mobile base as well. The new hangar bay is large enough to comfortably hold 1 large SV and 1 large HV, or a combination of small to medium sized craft - so long as they will fit through a 10x5 hangar door. The upper deck has been overhauled to include a mess hall and a proper space for the computer core as well. Engines have been upgraded to large and medium thrusters where possible, bringing the vessel to the upper limits of Tier 3. Upgrading to Tier 4 will allow for fully replacing everything with large thrusters and to be able to upgrade the included repair bay and shield. There are also spaces provided to add a drill turret and a multi-turret for harvesting and salvage operations. You will simply need to replace one of the storage controllers with a harvest controller.

While this vessel is capable of defending itself from drones and smaller CVs, it is not advisable to take it into heavy combat against shielded targets or larger CVs as the hull is composed entirely of steel and is thin in some spots. You could quickly find yourself piloting a blown out wreck again!

Spaces in the computer core room are marked for T4 CPUs - simply place them on the floor in front of the walls. Don't take the walls out as they're part of the exterior hull.

Compatibility

This blueprint has only been tested with Empyrion 1.13 (Build 4795). It likely will not work on versions older due to the use of the new colored holograms.

The ship design will not work out of the box in Reforged Galaxy or Reforged Eden.
