"What's that one?" "I've never seen a station like that... So many guns..."
That was the first time the Aristrocrat Cruiser (Produced by Surgeon Research) was encountered by the Nanovore fleet. The Aristocrat was created specifically to deal with them, Earning the nickname "Nanovore Eater". However, It was more of an embarrassment to it's name- It was easily felled by enough firepower focused towards the middle reactor- And right when that's destroyed, It becomes... A steel donut.
An Aristocrat fights against a Nanovore squadron.
The first rendition was especially effective, using it's Ion beam in unshielded locations, Such as the aforementioned middle.
It was an embarrassment to it's nickname.
And no way in the Corruption's chaos is Surgeon messing up again.

Defences: Shields, Side Panels, Early Detection System, And The Best Defence There Is
Prince Of Diamonds finally lives up to both it's nickname and standards. Large Cannons tear through fighters like tinfoil. Missiles make sure flankers stay off flanks. Electro-Bolts help with cheeky ones who use shields. And the engines aren't exposed, and there are storages to cut down on implosion rates due to reactors. One downfall is that the ammo producers are literally right on the outside, which means that once those explode, All offence is off on that side. Otherwise, it's resistance made easy, Even if the ship is slow.
So what do you think? Could you make a better ship to fight against small fighters from all angles?
