can u improve my venerable missile cruiser i want the firate to da max i want to increase its defense as far as possible while keeping it in a broadside format and i want it to be fast thx
IronCross42 Here you go. I also pitched in a free re-paint! 🙂
(It's no longer illegal)
Oneye Danke comarade
Blu Here you go
The name's going to need changing because it's no longer a fork. The tines interfere with fields of fire, which would have prevented effective point defense from being installed, and it really needs point defense.
newb12_ well since alpha completely re-made your ship I will make my own (not so big) changes. Also sorry for the really long wait. Edit: never mind
(sorry if this thread is dead, but...)
Never been the brightest with vanilla design. In fact, I rarely ever play with vanilla. This ship was an experiment to see if I could build something without mods.
(Yes, its turnspeed is awful)
You cannot improve the OMEGA SHRIMP
ThatBritishDude sigh go post your modded ship somewhere relevant please.
@Oneye Here's a weird one for you, try not to break the 80k limit.
DocSlime Just saying, didn't you limit your firing arc with the armor on top?
Alpha I did intentionally, to provide cover from singular weapons on ships in the same price range.
DocSlime just arent such a good idea
how about this ?
bluurgh The cannon feels too open while the armor seems a bit excessive. It might help while trying to flank, but flanking is better done with a focus on mobility rather than defense. Passable/10
DocSlime My opinion is that cannons should use the ability to aim, otherwise they just become a worse version of the ion beam.
Alpha I was experimenting with a heavier focus on armor, this isn't really meant to compete with "meta" ships, just for testing. Maybe there's an interesting design to be discovered, like the community's rail spinners.
Is there anymore ways to improve this ship?
Alpha V2 cost:100,000
please do not exceed 100k as this is my budget ship (it is already 100k exactly so the only thing you can really do is move around objects and replace other parts with others.)

This is a little heavier, meaning slower, but if you swap out some of the side and rear armor for structure it's lighter than the original. Which you want just depends on how you want to use the ship.
