"In testing, this dies fairly easily against three of your 'capitol destroyers' inspite of being worth ~3.6 capitol destroyers, credit-wise. I am dubious that it is more cost-efficient."
Simultaneous or consecutive? There's actually a huge difference between the two, because simultaneous essentially MULTIPLIES the overall effectiveness, rather than stacks linearly. I can test this myself while I'm at it, though I have to say I'm having trouble figuring out how one copies other people's builds into Creative...
Also, the excessive armor is more-or-less intentional to sort of reflect the durability that the original Death Star had. I should make it a point that this build was essentially a mock-build with more purpose towards representation over effectiveness, though the latter was done to the best of my ability without losing the former.
That being said, there IS one craft that I'm currently working on that's more or less an attempt to make something that's really compact yet still very effective while keeping the cost... SORT OF low, but not hindering low:
Speaking of, trying my darnedest not to be annoyed at the hitbox for those Heavy Laser Blasters, with how that extraneous space ahead of them is obnoxiously where I'd want the armor to have connected for better protection... Actually... I JUST noticed that it's like a mini Capitol Destroyer, so I think I'll test one or two of these on it...
Edit: . . . YEP! Way more cost effective than the Capitol Destroyer. Two on one, they ate it for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner with surprisingly low damage to one (I actually kinda expected one to die to the C.D.'s initial strike) and that's with being collectively cheaper...
