upgrading your ships
- Edited
Tagarik On such small ships, it would be difficult to 'improve' it without making it much bigger.
I like to have at least 4 lasers on my small fighters.
Here is your drawing. Its a very nice designed ship, looks great!
And my upgrade which I will add to my Legendary mod. 
Cost: 65,700
Cost: 73,050
WillieSea hey can you improve this ship
the green area usually gets destroyed could you make it better with keeping the shape
the red area u can completely change i want it to kinda look like a bird tail keeping about the same length
if you do paint it i would like it to be dark colors
try to keep it under 2 million
it uses the star wars mod and the additional weapons mod
- Edited
like italian flag
upgrade this:
good luck XD
Upgrade this pls, it's very inefficient, guns keeps getting unmanned.
simon1954 If a part of the ship gets shot a lot, especially those two 'prongs' then they are the damage absorbers, and they should be mostly armor and lines with shields. The enemy likes to target the first strong weapons it come in range of, or exposed power cores. And those guns at the end probably are getting targeted.
If its getting destroyed because your crew cannot keep power supplied to the shields, then some reorganization is needed. Place crew and power cores closer to the shields. If the crew is busy loading weapons, then you need to add more crew to that area so they keep the shields recharged.
Uzidrate The crew may abandon the weapons because its too difficult to get energy there. remove a few shields and put in some passages. Lets say, every third shield. Also, shields require a lot of power and crew, and I wonder if all those power cores in your engine compartment might be better suited where all the shields are.
Try improving this
Uzidrate There's no way to get that shield density to work, and I don't think I can make that weapon density work either. The forward standard cannons and lasers had to go to make space to armor the ammo and power feeds for the large cannons and electrobolts. The flanking beam armaments had to be gutted to make room for the missile ammo feeds and they're still slow.
The upside is that the weapons actually keep firing and there is very little chance of chain detonations. It should also be slightly faster and more efficient in FTL. Oh, and there's point defense now. That's kind of important to have.
If someone wants to iterate on the design, I think the missile section needs the most work.
Got two more ships if you guys dont mind upgrading it for me.
The first one has efficiency problems.
The second one just needs more mobility and a little more firepower.
Uzidrate I can find no way to feed a three wide ion beam array in front of three shields and no way to get close without either putting another two tiles between sets or offsetting them by nine tiles. Thus, shields have to be removed. Redundancies in the body of the ship have been removed to make space for internal armor. I widened the back slightly to make room for more engines to compensate for the weight increase and lengthened the side prongs to make space for engines in the front, which in turn required a slight change to their tip shape because they otherwise stuck just out of the FTL bubble.
The second can only be fixed by dramatically upscaling it to fit reverse thrust internally, changing its shape to expand the forward space to accommodate reverse engines, or changing its armaments. So the lasers went out for an ion beam and more electrobolts. As is common in my refits of your designs, shielding has to be sacrificed. Also, this time the price went up, which shouldn't be surprising since you wanted increased capabilities.
