MCRN-Tachi
(CV Class 9, CPU Tier 4 (Alpha 11.x), Unlock Level 25, Replica)
Update 11/19/19 – Switched ship to alpha 11.x and added a CPU screen shot. The RCS were removed and replaced with 4 tier 4 CPU blocks. The ship now is at ~ 5.8 Million CPU and 100% efficiency with 4 million to spare at tier 4. The CPU blocks can be found in the engineering area and are tucked into the walls in various places to look right. No other changes were made.
Built for Xcalibers October Designers "Replica" challenge here:

The MCRN-Tachi was built as a replica from the TV series "The Expanse". This project had many challenges including how to get a ship like this to function in game as the original ship is much smaller and lands vertically like a rocket. (Space X). After attempting vertical landing I found it was difficult in game to make it useful especially for a ship this size. So, I built a specialized docking platform to offer safe and proper landings, also allowing HV’s to enter the hangar. This creation is the MCRN-Corvette Class SDP or Surface Docking Platform. This creation is almost required to use this ship properly.
Survival features
The ship has a lot of offense built into it as well as some defensive measures. To keep it looking more authentic to the original ship, most of the turrets not on the original can be retracted.
The ship was built with layered combat steel, thicker in places depending on what is there to protect. It has a main secure 3rd person bridge as well as a small 1st person docking cockpit. The docking cockpit is needed to land this properly to the SDP. The Secure bridge is extra hardened containing most ship controls and a large heads up display showing what systems are active.
Other features include a 90 grow plot farm, 3x320K storage +many cargo boxes, 80K ammo storage, 4 Adv. constructors, WiFi, Warp Drive, Armor Repair, Armor locker, good sized hangar with extra SV only landing pads, repair bay, crew quarters, mess hall, large engineering deck, Medical bay, and extra areas here and there 🙂
Offense and Defense
Layered combat steel hull, thicker in important places. A wide range of turrets and max limit launchers. It also has 8 sentry guns for ground defense. This ship also has many compartmentalized o2 areas.
