TheRainmaker Did not pass. WOW that was a significant improvement! It did not pass still but you are very close! Here are some suggestions I can make to help it pass.
1) The AI dodge is awful, that has nothing to do with the design. You can remove the 4 forward most medium thrusters as the AI doesn't dodge enough to make use of them. Maybe move them back for more forward thrust or extra crew? Just keep the 4 that are in the center as that's really all an AI needs.
2) This goes against what I often say, but, in this design PD would really, really help it. Missiles find their way to that rear reactor and destroy that whole ship often enough to warrant PD and you have the cost to add them. And unlike the base game PD are actually useful in GiF!
Other than that I am really impressed with the turn around in this design! You are almost there keep it up!
