ive made this ship and i think its really awesome ... Tell me if i should change anything!

Unknowner07 Oh, a railgun brick! That brings back memories...
Regarding combat efficiency, railguns that long have lost quite some of their former glory, but even then the design could use some tweaks.
This certainly is one of the better bricks I've seen so far, but it still misses out regarding rules from the building guides or long experience.
The most obviously issue would probably be the lack of turning thrusters and the excessive amount of crew.
The ship also lacks a proper amount of defenses (shields, flak, internal armor), could need some more CRs, has a rather inefficient prism setup (try to only fuse two equally powerful beams per prism), no optimal factory placement (the supply paths are messed up and too long for the missiles) and a suboptimal reactor distribution.
If i find time later this day, i might go put some work into a improved version for you to test against this one and see what can be changed for better results.


The improved version ended up slightly more expensive due to my attempt at having everything powered (near) constantly, which required more reactors. The additional shields and thrusters increased the cost too.

I made this as a fun adventure. No efficiency in mind.

I know it is not themed.

And also this.

Where is the reverse thrust, no efficency in mid should still have some reverse thrust

    Name: RS-01
    Crew: 26
    Cost: 159 500$

    +: you can use this ship in swarm (low-cost for good damage railgun)
    -: too heavy but...i love armor and give to the swarm more surviviability

    (i can't give you the crew jobs so i hope they don't panic and put the ammo in the reactor...XD)
    Enjoy!

      ugly but effective-ish


      a small but effective rail gun ship

        siryeet654 Okay, that thing's shit at turning, has about 0 defenses, is 'splody as hell, has clustered CRs directly next to explosive parts, lacks breaking thrusters and has way too much storage.
        The second one is somewhat better, but doesn't need 2 medium reactors, still lacks proper decelleration thrusters, has badly placed PD and remains quite fragile.

              kine No sir, this is a long railgun:

              (It's litterally just a massive dual railgun strat with a bunch of thruster modules glued to the tip, but if we're talking large, this thing's got a 10000% accelerator boost.)
