I built 2 ion cores (for those who don't know, the ion core is the large array of ion beam emitters that is protected by many layers of armor on an expensive ship, usually 1 million and up) but I am having a difficult time designing complete ion ships for these cores...
The two cores I designed are optimized for continuous fire, I have already conducted some stress tests to make sure the ions never run out of power (and yes, the core to prism ration maintains a 1:2). Both cores contain an array of 16 ion cannons. I have already messed around with the crew bunk assignment for organization purposes. The target budget for the supposed "full ship" of both of the cores is 1.5 million (but you can make the final ship as cheap or expensive as you want)...
The cores are attached here:
If you read this post, can you please design a hull for one of these cores (and share it on this discussion)? I am not amazing at designing ion ships but I think designing raw cores is pretty fun...
