Whoops.
My design does get kited to death / explode, but does it get cut in half by ion beams as easily?

Anyways, this should hopefully do better against the original, if only because it has electrobolters. Though it has no point defense of any kind. If this fails to count as an improvement, have someone else take a crack at it.

Also, have you considered desaturating and darkening your lower color, like so?

My old one does get cracked in half easily :v, but sometimes i actually could use that to drive my two halves to the flanks of the enemy, as each half can only turn in one directions. I did tested the new one, thanks for helping me

I really don't pay that much attention to colors & stuffs, cause most of the time i always look at their interiors to see how the crew function :v

This.

Hello! I wanted to submit a ship here when there's nobody already waiting, but it looks like now's a time good as ever.
I haven't been up with the Cosmoteer meta since 2017, so I have no idea what's considered bad and good anymore. I've been relying on some old modules I saved and some of the contest winner ships to build. I'm submitting one of the better ships to come out of my trial and error over the past month or so.

(As a side note, can anybody tell me how the new stuff is best utilized? Me an' my sib have been using stuff but we aren't sure if it's actually worth it. I tend to throw two-factory flak everywhere and use railgun accelerators is excess. Somebody said accels were nerfed, and I'm not sure if that's any good anymore. Are engine rooms worth it?)

Oh! Also, I was on this thread before. At post 19, or something, I sent a bad ship to be fixed. I nabbed the missile modules off it and used those for a while, but the missiles on the Scarab above was taken from the Excelsis.

@Teg

Please keep the shape of the ship as it is, you may change to colours a little bit but I don't like how the crew works, and I can't get my head around the different crew system

oh and it uses krooms forge mod

Hatter Oh cool, thanks man. I was planning to stick some mediums in some places but the extra shielding should really help. One fac flak and one accelerator railguns are helpful stuff, cool

Hatter neat, thanks

Wait, also, is it actually worth it to mess with crew behaviors? I see the Shield Techs and was wondering if that actually helps the ship.

Crew assignments are not that difficult or complicated once you understand it well, and can drop your crew requirements by 10-50% depending on how badly you made it. It also teaches you how much crew you should have for each part; once you learn it, it will help you massively with your ship design as well.

Can someone improve this:

dodo_bear remove the explosives to start with

dodo_bear also the bottom of the ship is very vulnerable and also, where the hell is the back thrust?
