Merc-Renegade-TT
SV CPU Tier 4, Class 4, Unlock Level 20, Vanilla Version
Primary roles: Troop Transport, Storage, Utility, Warp, Shield, Small hangar
Currently the screen shots are of the Reforged Eden version showing a few more thrusters, and a med bay, and not the changes in weapons having a few more. I will try to get some vanilla only screen shots soon.
Lore: Sometime ago Merc Aerospace was a prospering corporation providing small vessels to the military for various roles. However in recent years the demand for SV’s has sharply fallen in favor for Capital Vessels which put the company in near bankruptcy. Another company, Transit LLC, was also suffering the same fate as they specialized in SV transport/utility ships which also were replaced with CV’s. The two companies decided to work together to build a new SV for special operation troop deployments combining the strengths of both companies.
The Merc-Renegade-TT is a Troop Transport/utility SV. It comes with many standard features and has both a Reforged Eden and Vanilla version. The Vanilla version varies some from the Reforged Eden version in thrusters, generators, features, and weapon load out. The hull is built with steel, has a small hangar able to dock a max sized craft of 7 blocks wide, 10 blocks long, and 3 blocks tall + landing pads below. The ship (both versions) comes with 2x32K storage, 5K ammo storage, constructor, Fridge, additional cargo boxes, Shield (Vanilla – polarized Hull Shield, Reforged Eden – Heavy Shield), 12 passenger seats, armor locker, o2 and station, and room for more parts. In addition, the Reforged Eden version comes with a med bay and long range radar.
Offense and Defense
The hull is built of steel (both versions). The Vanilla version has 5 minigun turrets, 4 gattling guns, and 2 rocket launchers. The reforged Eden version has 2 minigun turrets and 2 gatling guns with locations to add an additional turret and 10 launchers. The vanilla version also has 4 additional launcher ports. The vanilla version comes with a polarized hull shield and the reforged eden version comes with a heavy shield. Other standard features include wifi, detector, sensor based lights/doors/ramps, and additional space for upgrade parts.

I hope you enjoy!
Notes: Most likely not what everyone may want for a SV, but it was built to look and feel like a more realistic sci-fi ship similar to other games/movies etc. I really hated having to release two versions of the ship but to many changes were needed to be compliant between Vanilla and Reforged Eden making 1 size fits all very hard to do. Some block changes were also done between the 2 versions beyond differences in thrusters, parts, weapons, generators, etc. Also, the vanilla version has a few less thrusters but is also faster. The hull can be converted to hardened steel however that adds 10K CPU to the build and would need to be stripped of all weapons and even more parts to stay CPU 100K friendly.
