'''Normandy SR-2''' [[Ship Build]] [[guide]] created by the redditor /u/Bizzle94588. The Ship is from the popular games franchise Mass Effect.

==Introduction==
Not only is this ship strong and fast, but the best thing about it is that it can be built at perk level ZERO in [[Piloting]] and [[Starship Design]] with the exception of 2 [[modules]] that I used from a [[Spacer]] ship I commandeered and used as the base.

==Before We Begin - A Few Notes==
[[File:normandy_sf-22.jpg|400px|right]]
*I find this ship works best as a [[Class A Ship]]. It's fast, it's strong, and it gets the job done as a [[fighter]] or [[cruiser]]. You can upgrade to a [[Class B reactor]] for stronger [[shields]] and [[weapons]], with little to no downside, but it's not necessary. Upgrading engines to [[Class B engines]] actually makes it slower and less mobile due to the increased mass
*I built the ship first in [[Akila]], then went to [[New Atlantis]] to change modules and add finishing touches
*The design isn't 100% accurate. It was nearly impossible to get many aspects of the Normandy just right due to limitations of the size and the parts available, so I did take some creative liberties with the general shape and design
*The most significant departures from the actual Normandy design are going to be the sleek curved shape of the main body, the length-to-width ratio limited by the game, the landing gears messing up the silhouette, and the tips of the [[engine]] [[wings]] aren't hollow structs
*I added some structural flair like thruster arrays, cowling, and windows for more Starfield immersion rather than Mass Effect accuracy
*The hab modules need to be laid out one layer at a time, back to front. Confirm the ship design and then go back to the ship designer and place the next layer. The habs are VERY finicky and have a weird way of connecting together if you do it all at once
*There's going to be a few weird gaps in the ship silhouette due to the parts available, but these can only be seen when really looking closely from the side and front of the ship
*Balancing the ship's [[jump range]], [[mobility]], [[mass]], and [[cargo space]] has been a huge limitation. I tried to make the ship functional and attractive
*The list of the modules will go in order from the front of the ship to the back layer by layer
*<nowiki>*</nowiki> Denotes the part is available at [[New Atlantis]]
*<nowiki>**</nowiki> Denotes the part is available at [[Akila City]]
*<nowiki>***</nowiki> Denotes the part was found on the base [[Spacer]] ship I commandeered, so you might have to find a substitute for it

==Modules: The Body==

===Layer 1===
*[[Hope 4 Landing Bay]]**
*[[134MM Toroidal Reactor]]*
*[[100CM Balast Cargo Hold]]*

===Layer 2===
*[[Magellan C1X Cockpit]]*
*[[Nova Galactic 2x1 Hab]]* (I used Control Station)
*[[NG-20 Landing Gear - Fore]]*** (Attached under the front half of the Hab)
*[[Nova Galactic 2x1 Hab]]* (I used Living Quarters)
*[[Nova Galactic 2x1 Hab]]* (I used Armory)
*[[Helios 300 Grav Drive]]*

====Layer 2's Side Modules====
*[[Nova Thruster Array]]*
*[[Deimost Wing A]]*
*[[Deimos Wing D]]*
*[[Stroud Engine Brace A]]**
*[[Stroud Engine Bracer A]]**

===Layer 3===
*[[Nova Cowling 2L-TF]]*
*[[Nova Cowling 2L-TM]]*
*[[Nova Galactic 2x1 Hab]]* (I used [[All-In-One Berth A]])
*[[Nova Galactic 2x1 Hab]]* (I used [[Captain's Quarters]])
*[[Taiyo Cowling - Aft Top]]**

====Layer 3's Side Modules====
*[[Nova Cowling 1L- Fore]]*
*[[M30 Ulysses He3 Tank]]
*[[M30 Ulysses He3 Tank]]
*[[Nova Cowling 1L-Aft]]*

====Layer 3's Roof Modules====
*[[Marduk 1010-A Shield Generator]]* (on the back of the front hab)
*[[Connect-Pro Docker - Top]]** (on the back of the back hab)

==Modules: The Engine Wings==
Weapons are attached to a Deimos Structure piece which is attached to the inside front of the Stroud Structure part of the Engine Wings. I used 4 PB-30 Electron Beams made by Ballistic Solutions Inc.

===Engine Long===
*[[Stroud Cap A]]**
*[[Deimos Wing E - Aft]]*
*Weapon of your choice
*[[Stroud Cowling 1LA]]**
*[[Stroud Cowling 1LB]]**
*[[SA-4110 Engine]]***
*[[Accu-Lander 11 Landing Gear]]** (Attached under the engine which is not ideal at all but, I needed a piece that connects the long engine to the short engine otherwise the short engine would be unattached to the main body. If I find a piece that can accomplish this better, I'll then move the landing gear and use it to replace the Stroud Cowling 1LA from the short engine)

===Engine Short===
*[[Stroud Cap A]]**
*[[Deimos Wing E - Aft]]*
*Weapon of your choice
*[[Stroud Cowling 1LA-Fore]]**
*[[SA-4110 Engine]]***
