In trying to make a more powerful ship under 1M this is what I currently have.

Sometimes it seems better to just give up on trying to shield everything and go for enough fire power that any enemy wont be firing back for long.

Equalizer Looks kind of like a giant alligator mouth.
With giant cannon turrets, armor, and some shielding.

      Captain_Cranberry This looks like side barrages are it's greatest use, but the front and back look pretty vundrable to enemies.

          EpicJp21 aye it's a broadsider for sure, but ideally you don't expose the head and tail for very long as the 3 front facing and 2 rear facing shields are only meant to aid in swapping sides and are usually enough as the ship pivots fairly quickly for how much it weighs. The rear is actually pretty strong thanks to all that armour and will always out last the head of the ship (although the ship is weak against missiles while pivoting).

          Part of the reason why I like this ship the most is that while its a fairly strong ship you actually need to pay attention while using it and be active with it during a fight. Consistently switching sides, knowing when to do so and which way to do so are important as well as managing you engagement distance and focusing the firepower, its just more rewarding to play than a kiter that only really does 1 or 2 of those things.

          You should see the first version of the ship I made though, that thing always kept getting decapitated. Its always a work in progress 😛

          Edit: I could go ahead and beef it up but I feel like i'd lose alot of its aesthetic and character, besides I can always make a new ship thats based off of its shape and see how that works out (if I have the space)

            Captain_Cranberry Well our main battleship tells a little bit about our style of ship designing, whether we like broadsiders or flying rectangles stuffed with weapons...
            Like mine.

                Edit: I updated the Dernius in the previous post since I accidentally posted an outdated version (theres not much difference really)

                  Modded using Meranera's Additional Weaponry Mod, Bigger ships Mod and The Archon Plasma Mod. Comes from my faction

                  Pretty good looking broadsider with an awesome design and even though they're not my specialty it looks well made.

                    A little preview of my upcoming faction...

                    Jesus3747 sleek and very pleasing. Looks quite futuristic IMO

                      Seems a tiny bit similar to my upcoming one

                      EpicJp21 Now that I think about it, your ships look something like my fighters XD

                          Hey everyone, I'm going to soon release 2 new fractions. A vanilla one and a modded one.

                          EpicJp21 Another Fraction?

                              Amazing_Goob No my first 2

                                      also cool thing about it is that the main comand circle acts as a escape pod
