Zeus – High G Lifter / Carrier / Mobile Base
UPDATED FOR v1.7 – Added 2 Shield Capacitors
Zeus is a unique, high powered CV, capable of handling nearly anything you need! Zeus is designed for Reforged Eden, and provides maximum functionality, while staying within the 2.1M CPU limits. If you play vanilla Empyrion or Project Eden, check the bottom for details on how to use in those games.
KEY FEATURES OF ZEUS:
HIGH GRAVITY LIFTER – Containing a total of 9 drive thrusters, 6 of which are dedicated to lift, Zeus is capable of navigating any planet. At spawn on a 1G planet, Zeus still has 134 kt of lift available! On the highest gravity planets, you can haul over 20 kt of materials off, with ease!
AUTO-MINER COCKPIT ACCESS & EASY ON/OFF – The cockpit is extremely low to the ground, and the shutter doors on each side allow you to easily tend to Auto-Miners from the cockpit. If you need to exit the ship, there is a convenient boarding ramp nearby.
CARRIER & TRANSPORT – Zeus has 2 huge docking platforms on the roof. The large one is capable of holding a very large CV. My Soul Crusher will fully dock to this landing pad! It’s huge! Additionally, there is one more smaller platform off to the side. Perfect for your SV’s & small support CV’s. The hangar is also large enough to hold several HV’s! Bring your whole fleet of ships with you!
MOBILE BASE: With a full Medical Suite, 17 320k Controllers, 16 Cargo Boxes, Production Facilities (4 Advanced & 4 Small Constructors), 4 Bedrooms, 108 plot garden, and even a POOL! Nearly all CV amenities are already included!
INTERNAL HOVER MINING – A room dedicated to mining in dangerous or high gravity planets, it has a room that’s designed to hold an HV capable of mining from within the CV. Need a miner for this room? Get Gaea!

STRONG DEFENSE – Carrying 13 Miniguns and the maximum allowed 24 sentry guns, it can quickly kill any drones, or planetary hostile enemies you encounter!
UPGRADEABLE – In the core room are locations for 12 Quantum or Auxiliary cores. There is dedicated spacing for 3 additional drive thrusters, all medium thrust is upgradeable to large, a dedicated teleporter location already setup with motion sensor, and spacing for a repair bay/console. Additionally, there is a drill turret mount on the front of the ship. Other upgrade options include: Miniguns to heavy versions, adding many more turrets on the bottom (ground pounding), replacing some Miniguns with Flak, adding a repair bay & console. You can fit over 60 turrets on Zeus for ground pounding, making this a formidable opponent for most POI’s. There is also an entire room in the top floor that has been left open. If you add turrets and/or upgrade existing, I would recommend using this room for an advanced generator.
INTEGRATED SOLAR – Zeus includes 24 Regular & 24 Small solar panels, compatible with the new version 1.5 update. When the thrusters & shield are turned off, these will fully sustain the ship, and provide excess power to sustain while idle, consuming no fuel.
Zeus is fully made from steel blocks. Combat against other CV’s should be avoided. If you encounter another CV, it has an Advanced Shield Generator, and contains enough armor & thrust to quickly escape any encounter.
FOR VANILLA EMPYRION OR PROJECT EDEN – Zeus will also work in both of those versions with simply 2 changes. The Advanced Warp Drive will need to be changed to a standard Warp Drive. It also comes with 5 Tier 4 CPU extenders, which is the maximum allowed in Reforged. In vanilla or Eden, the maximum is 4 Tier 4 CPU extenders. Simply remove 1 advanced extender & it’s ready to go!
