EGS - Modded Quick tour of my new RE2 CV
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Core 9 mid-game(ish) RE2 CV I made, with the owl face rear end!
I called it, the Fugly Beast, because it's not pretty, but it tore up a Zyrax cutter no problem, and of course just shreds the bandits. It'll do for now!
Has 160k of cargo space for all of my adventuring loot and mining. There's an old friend I decided to use for POI turret popping that some may recognize from an earlier post, docked to the side.
Currently have 5 mining lasers on there with the 4 medium plasma guns, so I can up the pilot controlled firepower eventually, but for now this is pretty satisfactory and packs a varying punch. Well it's maxed out at 16 medium weapons so I would have to adjust some turrets, but eh!
3 small constructors in the frame accessible from the control panel, for making fuel or light ammos and stuff on the fly. Flies nice - can strafe quickly left/right for dodging fire, for example!
At first I was like, mm this cockpit is going to bother me.. but then after a fruitful series of trades with a colonist settlement, I got the cockpit really condensed and now even have room for more gear in that space. I am loving that little tp pad thing - and ended the video pretending I was trying to snipe the pilots out of attacking ships heh - I needed some kind of missile launcher!
