Merc-MXRD
This is Doc’s Edition of the Merc-MX9R by jrandall [Link to ship at the Bottom of Page]
A Tier 4 Level 20 Small Vessel
First off I love this ship.
Snaged it from the Workshop when it was first released.
I will admit that I had a little trouble with it at first.
Let me explain, I run the Experimental Branch.
And play on a Multi-Player Experimental Branch Server.
Let us face it, being on the bleeding edge means you get cut at times.
All the issues I had with this ship are now in the past.
The addition of Shields made a Huge difference.
And so, did Alpha 11
So, I brought this into the workshop and went to work.
It took me a while to get this in compliance with the new CPU Tier System.
And keep it "mostly" the same.
First this I did was rip out 46 of the RCS’s (do not need that many anymore)
Removed the Cargo Controller & Cargo Extension’s
Installed 8 Cargo Boxes
Installed Shields
Installed Wireless
Installed a Captains Locker
Added 3 more Generator’s (the ship needed the extra power)
Added a CPU Extender T2
Installed 4 T4 CPU Extenders
Changed the Delta wings for Swept wings
I was able to Keep all the Engines!
And all the Weapons!
That was important to me. 🙂
Gave some thoughts to Weights & Volume usage with this vessel
Change Cargo input to an Input Controller with 4k Volume
Swapped out the other Cargo boxes They were at 219 Volume, they are now at 250
Increased the Ammo Controller to 14.5k Volume.
Enough to hold a full stack of each the Ammunition required.
Updated the LCD Sign
Added some LCD Projectors
