This is the Battlecruiser TCS Malevolent. (TCS Stands for Terrian Combine Ship)
This is the second ship I made in this game, i'm quite proud of myself.
She is built with a fair amount of armor, as much as I could add without blocking corridors.
She carries a crew of 330 souls, has a mass of 2208.5 tonnes, and costs 1,563,800 credits. Her warp drives function at 94% capacity, and she has a safe-zone of 16 crew members lost before problems will arise.
Her armament: 6x Large Cannons
6x Standard Cannons
20x Small Lasers
8x Electro-bolts
1x Ion Beam
26x Shield Generators
32x Point Defense
She is built primarily for broadsiding.
Recommended Battle Tactics:
Broadside one side of weapons, use front Ion beam as you switch to the other side. Needs to be in relatively close proximity to enemy ship. Easily outmatches most vessels, has trouble taking on vanguard ships.
Do not be afraid to retreat via warp drive while using this ship. If the armor is penetrated to the central reactors (while unlikely, it is a strong ship), it will destroy the ship.
Strengths: Shields can be maintained easily, plenty of weapons, so it is good for broadsiding. Good shield coverage, most shots will hit shields.
Weaknesses: Due to the central weapons storage and manufacturing, and the corridors connecting the 'arms' to the main vessel, if one corridor is knocked it out drastically increases the time it takes for weapons to be rearmed.
Central reactor room means that if hit it will cause catastrophic, possibly irreversible damage to the ship.
If you use this, I hope you enjoy!
