Building of The Astral Blade
This ship is build for my own playthrough, but as it came to shape I tought it would be a nice idea to share this with others.
Also this is my very first post on the Nexus. :)

The Astral Blade
This is not a save game, since it is better to enjoy the game as it is and not with someone else game.
Also the ship building is part of the game and needs to be experienced by the gamer.
So I took the challenge to build the ship, break it back down and create a plan of it.
Everything will be numbered with corresponding pieces.
There are several pieces like shields, reactors and engines which purpose is more for cosmetic use. (because of overpower)
A little more info about the ship and what to expect
The ship is 58 meters in lenght and thewidth is 27 meters. There is a little clipping with the ship services
booth at Jemison-New Atlantis.
Didn't test all the landing spots. 😋
The cost of this ship is around 580K,so you need to slaughter your piggy bank if you want this little
machine.... 🙂
You also need to have a fair amount of Piloting Skills and Starship Design before some pieces become
available.😉
The ship parts are in total 127 pieces.
Base level 46 pieces
Mid Section part 1 26 pieces
Mid Section part 2 21 pieces
Top level (or the blade) 34 pieces
Little side note; Stbd (starboard) isthe right side of the ship, Port is the left side. 😁
So this means looking at the plans itwill be the oposite, the starboard is on the left side and port on
the right.
But no worries, I'll mention it also inthe plans 😉
The fun part are the weapons. 😁
Warning, they come at a hefty price andare power consuming, but very effective. As a test I've managed to dispose every ship in New Atlantis and the Kryx system.
So, let's take a look at them....
- In the front we have 4x Mauler 106T Autocannon Turret.
These are almost not used, but if you get in trouble, these are fast activated and they eat alive any ship. - On the Nova Cowling 2L-SM and Stroud Nose Cap we have 4x EMP-500 suppressor, I like to takeover hostile ships and these babies will leave them dead in the water
- On the back we have 4x Atlatl 290B Missile Launcher, if executing is more your style, vaporises a ship in seconds
The build up from the ship will take roughly an hour to complete with the required mods, someone with some experience in the ship builder 30 minutes.
If the required mods needs to be installed an hour extra to get everything right.
This project wasn't possible without certain mods, so thanks to those mods I could build this ship.
This ship is build with the following mods
