I would disagree with energy storages actually being useful. I almost never use them find them pretty useless because it requires an extra crew member to deliver power to the storage and it also takes up very valuable space that can be used for other things. I would not recommend using them but instead placing reactors in a smart spot (armored, shielded).
Railguns, control room, warp drive?
weapon synergies?
Great guide, but a little long for not going too in depth.

Jakeblake its useful (atleast for me) it dont explode and the reactor do alot damage in a pretty big arena and its expansive too,some place that will be better at putting battery but not reactor

      thatPolarBear fun fact its not the only way that can move your ship you can set a weapon that will be hitting your ship with auto fire its a weird physics but it works

        Jakeblake the guide is abit outdated as you can see. I agree i should change the energy storge part to be more up to date. im not going to add ftl tho

          You know the wiki has guides and articles on these, too.

            Lafiel yea i do, still want to write this

                WRONG about the ammo and missile storage. They are much more useful than the power storage, in fact.

                mystique nope... only energy storage is useful, in fact storage is allmost useless 😃(take too many mun) and you can explan about why the ammo and missiles storage are better

                  mystique In my experience (14 months) and multiplayer experience, ammo and missile storage are pretty much useless. Except for the one or two times they might be useful. (which I have never encountered, but have been told there are.) They are just as explosive (maybe) as the factories, and they cost too much/ take too much space to be easily added.

                    Oneye im not sure about this but i think the factory and the storage is explosive when they have ammo/missile

                          CATMASTER Incorrect. I have plenty of personal experience biulding ships, and many a well-placed ammo storage has saved ships from wimpiness.

                              CATMASTER Somewhat

                                  Oneye Energy storages have just as many hitpoints as the ammo storages, and are more explosive. They also are nearly useless. Ammo storages, though, can be extremely useful if placed correctly.

                                      mystique energy storages don't explode...

                                        mystique and the fact that ammo factorys are the same size, but factorys create an unlimited supply of ammo while storages only hold a specific amount.

                                          mystique Using storage on this ship is absolutely pointless. You could simply replace the storages with factories and have your rocketlaunchers fire (almost) continually. The explosiveness of factories wouldn't even matter cause the reactor above would blow the area anyway.
                                          I kinda feel bad for doing so but I would advise you to read this guide again and possibly check @Oneye s Dos and Don'ts for building guide too.

                                            CursedPh4nt0m I have tried that, and... it doesn't work. At all. @Oneye 's guide is very useful, but i have personally easily destroyed him in multiplayer with properly placed storages.
