CATMASTER That's what happens when you redesign the engine compartment and forget to remove something

Brank So you're going for something at exactly one million?

You may need to repaint it a bit, but the functionality you wanted is there. I did sacrifice one FTL drive though. Oh, and don't mind the battle damage. XD

It's definitely better.

Guess who's baaaaaaaaack! So I have another older design that's now part of my fleet. Unfortunately its performance is less than satisfactory. I want a second opinion before I go chopping it up. Fair warning, it MUST stay at or under 2 million credits.

Now I've already made a Mark II, but it's too pricey and I really don't want to use rail-guns on the original. Here's the MK II for reference.

My first attempt at a mega ship, it can handle all the built in ships besides the Terror. Any suggestions?

Whispering don't clump reactors they will chain and wreck your ship

Right don't chain reactors, that would explain the massive explosions when something gets through the shields.

Amazing_Goob

Whispering Those reactors at still too close. About 4 away should work.

Whispering well first this one has a tiny amount of fire power considering it's price and also chain reactive so i tried upgrading it so it is more effective and cheaper now but still lacks fire power,cant really do much if i dont want to affect the shape to much,also changed the paint abit 🙂,here is the design.

You need 3 mods: Galore mod, Diffusion shields mod, and the galactic civil war mod. (0.14.3)

SkipTheMercenary

Was just wondering if there is any possible way to make the ship more efficient without expanding the ship to take up more space, basically just changing the interior. No mods needed.

Also hoping this discussion is still active, lol.
This ship is also the first I've made after revisiting the game after almost a year.

Oneye

SkipTheMercenary Well then, you can first look here. Then you should take away an ftl, and the storage, so you can put some armor there.

Oneye I would've had just one FTL but... it wouldn't be sym-

I could totally build a NON symmetrical ship (also this is the first ship ive built since late 0.12)

Nice day
