Diagonal Ship Designs.

Really cool design. I like the rear "tail".

One trick with diagonals, though the AI doesn't handle it yet unless I've missed an update is that you can use the backs for missile launchers. They have just enough field of fire to come around. Unfortunately missiles are nigh-useless against most player designed ships so even if the AI doesn't point them backwards they fare poorly.

For artsy ships (Please ignore the paint jobs or lack thereof):

Atarlost Really cool designs. I like the space turtle. I agree the reason I built my diagonal ship in the first place was for missiles. Although on mine they're on the inside of the ship. Watching them all funnel out is really quite something.

Jestes That thing looks sick!

I found that missiles are the best with a design like this... this thing is not my best missile build but its easily the most interesting due to how it flys... Missiles really seem to be the best bet when doing a diag design.

Hello! i am new to the forums!

Btw, Teg your "big2" cube may be the best cube design i have ever encountered, it was a pain making a non-missile spam/run away build that could take it head on.

XD thanks. I build it in around 4-5 hours.

The thrusters were by far the most time consuming. (3 hours lol it's insanely fast for a ship this size) But sadly the weapon Placements aren't the best because I suck at those 🙁

it might look like a heart buy it will only love destroying you!

on a side note, its one of my most effective builds at its credit cost range. my most recent bounty hunter playthrough i have two that have lasted into me taking on vanguard, and they actually do decent damage to those ships! i was amazed i could get that front end so effectively shielded. It can single highhandedly conquer veteran zones with smart targeting.

I call it my advanced prototype Frigate.

The Protectors of Innocence use only diagonal ships.
