Description
Merc-MX12 Heavy (SV Class 3, Unlock Level 15)

7/27/2020 - This ship is dated and is not able to work with A12 CPU limits in any kind of nice way. I modded a version that works but the cuts needed are severe and disrupt both the looks and function. At this time this ship is Legacy only and should be used only if not playing with CPU option on. Thanks.

Primary roles: Heavy Fighter, Storage, Warp, Alpha 10, Shield, Drone Hatch, 1st and 3rd person secure cockpit

The Merc-MX12H was designed to be a flying tank, featuring the toughest armor of any Merc ship to date. Combined with a shield, ample storage, and solid protection for the pilot, the ship is now being deployed with forward battle groups to face a distant threat posed by a hostile and dangerous race known as the Kriel.

Survival features

Besides being built extra tough, the ship also has a good amount of utility features such as 11K storage, 6K ammo storage, o2 and station, armor locker, 2 constructors, 2 fridges, 5 additional large cargo boxes, WiFi, Detector, 1st person and 3rd person secure cockpit. Also, storage and the pentaxid tank have been evened out for proper weight distribution. The ship also features a drone hatch with internal switch control, exterior lights, and standard and performance modes flight modes.

Offense and Defense

The hull is built with layered hardened steel with a lot of lag shot protection from all directions but extra heavy on the front. The two entry points being the rear door and drone hatch are thick with triple doors. The rear door also has a internal fire wall for added protection. The ship comes with 6 gatling guns, 4 homing rocket launchers, and 4 rail guns. Parts are distributed all over the ship in redundancy to be able withstand heavy damage and still be operational. To allow for maximum pilot safety, a secure internal cockpit was also installed in addition to the armored front cockpit.

Features Summary:

1. Player unlock level 15, size class 3
2. Layered hardened steel hull with lag shot, 6 gatling guns, 4 homing rocket launchers, 4 rail guns
3. Warp drive, o2 + station, 11K volume storage, 6K volume ammo storage
4. 2 Constructors, 2 fridges, armor locker, WiFI, short range detector, shield
5. Internal 1st person cockpit access, secure internal cockpit, drone hatch, 2 additional seats
6. Standard and performance flight modes to save on fuel
7. Sensor based lights, door, and ramp
8. Exterior spot lights + interior control switch

I hope you enjoy!

Thank you Bitdragon, Diemex, and MacSheel! @MacShell, yes, an advanced core would work. Hmm. I do not know how hard it would be to acquire an advanced core in game thou. Interesting idea thou. Thanks again all!

But, side note, the MX14 and MX18 don't fly with a full ammo load. The MX12H yes! :steamhappy: :steamhappy:

@jrandall this beauty is the only one that I know, so far, working with and advanced core, that is able to fly in a 4G planets!!! Congratulations!!! You should have some love to the MX14 and MX18 because they are awesome too :steamhappy:

hmmmm an advanced core would work, @jrandall?

Yeah I see what you mean. I love this ship so I went ahead and modded it for my own use... like you said I had to remove almost all the RCS, quite a few medium thrusters and I also pulled out the second constructor. It aint pretty... but its working for me. I'll hang onto it while I check out your newer creations.

Always appreciate all the hard work you do in your designs. Can't wait to see what's on the future radar!

Thanks rootzij, stevehl, and Bitdwagon! I am aware of this. I actually have a A12 version of this however the cuts I had to make suck and I never updated the blueprint. Beyond removing all RCS, all constructors, I also had to remove ~8 main thrusters which most of them had thruster housing built around as the main body shape of the ship. It is depressing. The ship works this way but the cuts made are so annoying I could not get myself to update it. It suffers from the same problem I have with the MX12 thru 18. They are just to big of ships to work with CPU in any kind of nice way. Maybe I could make a ship of this size again from ground up for CPU and flight model, but the bigger ships made in the past don't translate well. New SV's are on my to do list thou. Thanks again!

I have to agree with Stevehl , I dropped this into creative to check it out and it won't even power on I'm afraid.
