Leak I finished it's testing.
Technically, your ship failed the test. I put it up against 1 TA type Arachnid for 5 times, and the score was 1-4 for the Arachnid. This is really sad, as it is an interesting design. After any weaponsfire reached the reactors and destroyed one of them, the entire ship split in half, and after that moment the arachnid just gutted the rest of the ship from the inside.
Now what you can do to improve it is:
1. Find a way to stop the chainreaction of the power cores exploding. This can probably be done by putting more armor between the sides of the ship and the cores, to procect from enemy fire. Also you should put some armor between the 2 'powerhouses', - as I would call them -, to stop the first powerhouse from exploding the second one.
2. Increase the upkeep. After one of the shields was taken down there was litterally not a single person manning the shields. This meant after disabling the shields there was nothing stopping the Arachnid from digging into the sides or front of the ship.
3. Increase the mobility, the ship was as slow as a sleeping turtle.
4. (recommended) Do all of the above.
I will take a look at it if you want, or you can do it yourself. If you want me to check it out, please send me a message.
Good luck with your improvements/next design. Remember, for the ship criteria, check this message: TheUnleashedPiraat
