The Ayamara
Made for Reforged Eden . UPDATED FOR REFORGED EDEN 1.7!
The Ayamara is a Quantum ‘Fast-Battleship’, Relatively light for a quantum, but highly maneuverable, with a Swing-up Hull in the style of the Dauntless. It was built to engage the game’s heaviest ships at near point blank range in High-G maneuvers.
At 110 Yaw/Pitch, the Ayamara is Reforged Eden ‘s most maneuverable combat CV, ever done a 360 degree turn with a 1 inch mouse movement? Now you can. Drones swarming around you? Time for them to meet the Queen-Bee, you are both faster and turn harder them, and you can run them down like vermin as you fly through their burnt-out hulls.
With over 50 Placements for Heavy Turrets, and the Thrust to maneuver with even more weight than that, The Ayamara will blast holes straight through Dreadnaughts with a single volley at close range. She kills Frigates/sunats in 2 Shots more often than not ( 8 second fights ), Station POIs are often 1-shotted, with Destroyers/Kamirats lasting anywhere from 35-45 seconds, and Dreadnaughts are lucky to last a 2 full minutes.
You’re so fast you can swing & roll over a dreadnaught at close range so swiftly that the turrets often cannot rotate fast enough to track you. Don’t get confused and think theyre dead, alright? They will eventually swing their barrels over and start firing again.
You’re a Lightning fast and heavy-handed Battleship. but that doesnt mean we can’t have nice things, right? So I also built you a Luxurious interior, with segregated & independently vented Secure-Bridge, fly-through doorless entry/exit, Oxygenated Space-walk zones, and a Drop-down SV hangar, and seperate Roll-up HV hangar.
Kick up your feet in the Captain’s ready room, Earl Grey, please. Triage your wounds in the dedicated Medical bay. & most importantly, the ability to Jettison your Farts directly into space with an independently vented and force-fielded Toilet.
The Ayamara has a Double Xeno wrap around it’s entire component section, and was built specifically to house ( securely ) Progenitor shields ( Bastion, regenerative ), inside of your secure Quantum storage compartment there is room for both a Shield, and dozens of quantum cores. The room is protected from catastrophic blowout by a double Xeno Wall between it and the rest of your components ( engine room )
The Ayamara comes standard with 2 Advanced generators, and has purpose-built space for a 3rd once you’ve attained your Bastion Shield. She comes with the full 24 Solar panels ( built under the hull, where they still function, for ‘reasons’ ), and loads of capacitors for 80k+ solar battery capacity, allowing you to fly for hours fuel-free. Her standard Fuel compliment is 120k, so looking at your fuel tank isn’t even a thing, you have fuel for days.
The Ayamara uses a light-weight heavy-glass armor system to keep her nose light, it’s more than a dozen blocks long, and transitions into Xeno as you approach the core. The ship has a core fail-safe system, so before shots come ringing catastrophically into your engine room, your core will blow, saving the ship from being a near-total loss ( your shield and quantums would be safe regardless )
The ship is head to toe Detail and love. A majority of her standard turret compliment is bayed or built into the airframe ( internal turrets, pill-box style ), for a clean and appealing aesthetic. She’s expandable with flush mountings for an additional 25 turrets on her top deck and thruster pods, and has expansion space ( 3x3x4 ) inside the thruster pods should you want to add some Large engines inside for additional roll ( with a full heavy turret loadout, id recommend it ). The ship comes with 4 Standard Heavy rocket launchers, for coring anything unfortunate enough to run into you, and also for planetary bombardment ( right click Missile launchers to fire in atmosphere ).
How fast is the Ayamara? Well she’s 15.4 Gs vertical, and over 5G’s in every other direction, except upside down, where she’s about 3G’s. So not only is she fast, she’s High-G capable in just about every way you can imagine, Want to fire nose-down directly onto a planetary POI? no problem. Want to hover 700 meters above one and let rockets fall by force of gravity while you sit pretty out of range? No problem.
You have 7x 320k storage, with 2 of them being "armored" Ammo controllers, so even if you get bushwhacked or ambushed from behind, you can be sure you’ll still have the ammo to fire back when you’re in your seat. The ship is chain-explosion proofed, through Glass-armor batting, component segregation, and common sense design.
You have custom sensors, shortcuts, organized component groups, labelled containers, & pre-linked constructors.
& Yes, I heard you, YOU ARE 100% OPEN-THRUSTER conforming.
Experience a new level of combat capability, luxury, and intelligent pilot-driven design in the Ayamara Fast-Battleship. Enjoy!
A big THANK YOU: to Jupiter Vessel Corp, for teaching me how to employ sensors and many other things.
& Shandril, for helping me explosion test the craft and doing final looks and spot-checks. The ship would not be what it is without their help.
