The Vector Voyager is a sleek and capable multirole hauler. A colossal amount of work has gone into making it - about 4 months and 600 hours - most of it spent on voxels. It has a detailed and pleasant interior and a carefully sculpted outer hull.
The Vector also has excellent engineering. It's narrow; less that 400m² forward cross section, allowing it to reach speeds greater than 1800kmh in atmo(if you don't mind a few things exploding). It can haul a substantial amount of cargo; designer testing has achieved 1g escape with 6kt of cargo in the standard uncommon space engines model. With advanced military engines, it can lift up to 8kt for a skilled pilot. Volume capacity is 2.3ML(12 L containers), with external attach points for six additional L containers, allowing expansion up to 3.45ML with only a minor increase in forward cross section.
The ship also has a strong and balanced adjustor profile, a small hangar for speeders, and a spacious tech bay to add role-specific elements such as a DSAT, large shield, or AGG.
I tried to make the best M-core I possibly could, and I'm proud of the Vector. Thanks for taking the time to look at my cool internet spaceship.

Bonjour
Ce vaisseau est il toujours d'actualité ? Je souhaiterais peut être l'acheter.
Merci d'avance
FuriousWeasel
By miles the best ship I've ever flown. Worth far more than its price! If I were selling this I would probably put it at 100M+.
TobiwanKenobi
The March 21 - April 1 celebratory sale is now over. Thanks everyone for coming. About 40 more Vectors flew the nest, as well as many other smaller ships. Sale prices are gone now, but I haven't put them back up to the same levels they were at before the sale.
Wolfie347
4-1-22 Favorite M-Core ship so far. Amazing handling and escape velocity even with no skills. Has three storage compartments placed strategically for easy access! The there three floors and bridgework are amazing. She is a beautiful ship with all the bells and whistles needed for a Solo player or any size org. Went with the upgrades as well. Also was able to pick out the color I wanted which was really great service in itself. But she is a sexy ship that does more than gets the job done.

I bought this when it was on sale, and worth every penny at full price. I went with the T3 upgrades with Military Atmo and Manuever Space, picked up the token about 30 min after asking Tobi-wan about it, got in, sneezed and was up in space when I opened my eyes again. This was with the hauler I used to get there (had a fairly substantial load) and a Lightskipper attached (Think it said 6kT on Saga?). Since then, I've run on scanning runs to Ion with it, moved bases from Sanctuary to Madis, and even jumps to Market 6, and it never bats an eye.
Cimity
Just got my Vector with T3 upgrade and it is a BEAST!
cappysmack
This ship is a true work of art. Very detailed. Very well thought out. Very well crafted. Delivery was prompt.
jaylanvengsk
This ship is awesome, tons of detail on the interior. Screenshots don't do it justice. And the real bonus? Feels pretty great to fly, even heavily loaded.
TobiwanKenobi
Thank you everyone. I've now passed 100 Vectors sold. In celebration I'm going to be doing a sale from March 21 to April 1, 2022. Prices on the vector will be 30M uncommon, 45M advanced, 15M BP.
All of my other ships will be reduced as well.
Sejreia
Got the T3 Token; Smooth as velvet, Strong as a chiseled hunk, agile as the wind (maneuvered wonderfully through 3 Spiked towering mechanisms upon first flight's takeoff!), and beautiful, too! Definitely worth the journey to buy her. I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Again, elite service here with Tobi, thank you so much!
iceman8706
Got the T3 BP and absolutely love this ship, its great to fly.
Peckem
Purchased a BP yesterday but cannot get a few of voxel materials> Please message me ingame.
glicknan
This is very good ship.
Veqlargh
Another beautiful ship to fly. Love all the detail in this thing and it flies great. Matched Lightskipper docked on back plus a speeder parked in the bay for lots of options.
nekranox
I have owned every ship by Tobiwan. This is an excellent new mid-sized hauler with plenty of power and storage. The voxel work is some of the best in DU. This is now my new main ship. Service was flawless also. Thanks
Bad3gg
Fantastic detail throughout, clever element placement and extremely well balanced. Now my new favourite medium core and will be the mainstay of my daily ops. Cheers Tobi, another great contribution to the game!
KyleJK
This is a great ship.
Much more maneuverable and efficient than I was expecting.
Interior and exterior look great as well.
Fordie
Got a rare token of this ship a while back, its a great ship. cant fault it fitted and agg . a regularly used used. great comb work and highly recommended ship builder very well balanced
DeadHorse
I've taken the Vector around the system, warping and slowboating. Installed AGG. It's just a wonderful ship, all around.
topsock
A very well designed functional ship. Bigger on the inside! Lots of extra room on top of the cargo space. Hangar for a speeder is over the top. Another great ship. Stay with us TobiwanKenobi and may the DU be with you.
Sync1512
Tobiwan's ships are masterpieces all-around. I bought the Vector Voyager because I knew it was going to be perfect. Super-Smooth flyer, fun to paint, the total package!! Thank you for the work you do.
Hirnsausen
Tobi's ships are always nice to see!
DJSlicer
@TobiwanKenobi My ships run around 80s -90s only going over 100% in the thickest parts. But it really makes me not want to make larger ships or increase detail. I would like them to clarify which ships are a problem for them. They just breezed over it. Like show us the problem at least before throttling my creativity. It's is a bigger deal to a lot of us than I think the community realizes. No one seems to be talking about it. I'd like to improve and one day make my masterpiece L core and spend 8 months doing so. But I am being throttled, and I feel like I got a 20 second explanation from NQ telling me why, 20 mins into a 2 hour video.
Doesn't it suck to know you have peaked? You cannot make your ships any more detailed than this. In fact tone it back in the middle there. As builders we may be too quiet on the issue.
verdaa
10/10!
This ship puts the horizon to shame! it handles far better when entering atmo! its a ship you really need to try for yourself. Customer service is, as always fantastic and Tobi was kind enough to replace a paint tool for me as i lost mine for my light skipper. Look out captains customs! Tobi is gunning for you! lol
ziggyman
Outstanding work! Just took delivery of one tonight. Test flight exceeded my expectations. This shit is well thought out inside and out. Highly recommended.
TobiwanKenobi
@DJSlicer Oh, the entire middle is at or near complexity limits, with a couple sections at 102% and 107%. I'll take this opportunity to say, WE MUST TELL NQ TO NOT IMPLEMENT VOXEL COMPLEXITY LIMITS. It's the dumbest thing possible in a game about creating with voxels. Do they want box ships? Cause that's how you get box ships.
DJSlicer
I may have to pick one up. Do you have complexity issues? I can't get that much detail within boundaries.
Draqolas
I would like to pinpoint the number of details that people don't mention.
The vast majority of creators focus on the shape of ships and elements.
But what Tobi did is elevate this to a new level.
There is a lot of different voxels which honestly makes you think those are actual elements.
Even the engine tubes look so damn good it's just unbelievable that someone went through great lengths to make DU elements don't look as ugly as they usually break the ship aesthetics.
drexel
The Vector Voyager is easily the most well-rounded ship I've ever owned. From its stunning design to its cargo space and lift, it's extremely well thought out from front to end, no doubt about it. 11/10
eyerco
I was a lucky person to get VIP flight on this ship few weeks ago before its completion. I said back then with 75 million in my pocket I would buy it, but Taxes and failed mining prospects ate all that money in 3 weeks now I can only afford a squire at max. But I'll work there from here to fulfill my order of 100 million for this ship.... tho the price has come down nicely?
Hirnsausen
Hi Tobiwan Kenobi,
nice big ship design. :-)
Metsys
beautiful vessel! Lots of amazing detailwork that comes together to a very immersive and impressive whole. Very well thought through, from room planning to exterior presentation. Once again Tobiwan has proven he is among the greatest builders of DU at the top of the podium
TobiwanKenobi
@Koriandah Yes, the airbrakes are all external, hidden beneath the gray panels. Only a tiny part sticks out for repairing. They SHOULD work fine after the changes, but of course I don't have any way to test right now.
And yes, sometimes engineering sacrifices have to be made for aesthetics. However I kept the Vector tight. An element-only box might have it beat by a little, but not much.
Koriandah
The more ships like these I see out here - the more it makes me mad that people would purposely fly element-only ships or just boxes and then talk down ship creators for building "not efficient ships".
That said, the presentation of this ship is top tier and I will definitely be stealing the concept for my next ship I end up building. The ship itself looks great from the pictures and I handily support the idea of leaving some areas empty for the buyer to fill in. Hope you adjusted for the atmo brake changes that are coming and welcome back
Czarman
I did my very first missions last night as soon as I got this ship built and I spent most of the trip around safe zone just panning around the ship in 3rd person. It is stunning in the detail. It's easy to fly (from someone who doesn't like M or L core ships in general). He's not joking about the balance.... pitch, yaw and roll almost perfectly. 10/10 would recommend, I'm a fan!
DrHowie
Welcome back Tobi!
Doombad
Typical Tobiwan with fantastic detail and quality. Terrific ship.
MelTuc2022
I don’t know what it is about the military blocky battle-ready machine look that Tobi does but whatever it is I always love it. His ships are like that super load old Muscle car you would love to own and to say that is to say his ship handles like pure muscle cars, power, agility, and responsiveness but yet made to get the job done. The devils in the details they say, well this time it's Tobi in the details threw and threw on this ship. As if her hand placed each voxel by hand. But wait that exactly what he did. Lol
I purchased this ship today to add to my already massive fleet and it still sticks out as a feather in my cap. Love the ship.
jdalto1991
Amazing ship has both the looks, fine detailing you’d expect from tobi and perfect well balanced handling to get any job done
RobRocketpants
Nothing short of art.
Shiromar
I've been waiting for Tobi to build an M core ship ever since the Brute became one of my daily flyers. My Voyager has been outfitted with Rare Military engines which I've been able to push speeds greater than 2300 in atmosphere with T5 flying talents. The sleek and narrow design allow it to survive at these speeds and remain functional. The detail in the voxel work really brings her to life as well. I love having a little speeder in the hangar as well for short length recon or tending to mining units. Long gone are the days of needing to haul dozens of KT of ore, and this ship fits perfectly into what I am looking for with an every day hauler that still can haul a good load while being very flyable. Great job Tobi, easily one of the best M cores out there.
Pixiedust7812
Absolutely amazing. Definitely my favorite ship thus far in game! The vector voyager flies effortlessly and is a beautiful design.
Arcuro
This is an amazing ship. Flies fantastic and does the job. This a beautiful ship inside and out. You can tell Tobi has put all of his heart into the design and it shows. Thanks again for another great ship!! She has become my main ship. I agree with StoneSpoons 10 out 10, 5 Stars all the way.
StoneSpoons
After using this ship for nearly a week, I can say that it is an incredibly capable, well balanced ship with enough power to get the job done.
The Vector is about 10su ahead of the competition, and it is my favorite ship in the game by far. 10 out of 10, five stars, and two thumbs up. Brilliantly done.
