Hatter I really like that new version, but it kinda seems like a downgrade to me. Ofc we have more firepower and frontal shields, which is good, but the CR seems way too exposed to any flanker if you ask me, I'm pretty sure you could cut down on one FTL drives (turns out the thruster armor makes it too large for 3 drives to cover, but I at least got the 4 drives to go up to 99% coverage so far; it would be possible to go up to 100%, but that'd require replacing other parts, so it's not worth it) and the armor and internals seem messed up looking at the picture too (now, the armor did get a slight tweak, but the internals were mostly fine).
I'll do some experimenting ingame to verify all this while thinking of which design to send you for some overhaul, so expect a bunch of edits.
First off, using LRs limits ones design freedom way more than anticipated. These two bricks of nuclear C4 ain't even the problem, any decent (frontal) defense is all you need to keep them safe or be doomed anyway. However, the conveyor lines gave me an actual headache trying to rearrange the ship, as they require just too much space for the ships size and are absolutely required to keep anything other than the ions running.
Here's what I got when I finally gave up, enjoy:
In return I want you to have a look at my little Reaver here. I know sending something this small is kinda unfair, but it's still using seperate sections, so I'm sure you'll be able to tweak it a bit. While you're at it, mind also telling me what you think of the concept? (That thing's barely anything but a proof of concept anyway, but I'd like to eventually use it in MP.)
