Advanced version of brawler's ship... Scarab MK-II.

I've been playing around with the phisical shield idea and I've figured couple of ways to use it.

This one sure packs quite a punch (Pun intended). It has 3 mats tanks, but it's not much of a miner ship (Quantity, not quality of collection)... When you see an enemy, press the right click to go into the defensive mode... And release it to give em' a good punch. The cryoguns infront are intented to freeze fast the incoming enemies... These shatter just fine on the hidden pikes.

Also... Ship got a small secret mechanic on mid button. You are going to love it... It transformates a completelly close range drone into a deadly sniper... Killing everything on sight in one shot. You can literally clear the whole landing area just by pressing it once... But do not over-used it or it will eat up all your batteries. The ship is actually brutally devastating and durable with or without energy shield... But... It's not that good for resourses collection.

WSAD - Movement.
Left Click - Frontal cryo-weapons.
Right Click - It activates your shield + it charges the propulsors. ;}
Mid Click - Deathshot.
Space - Magnets/Collector.
-/+ (On numpad): Coolers/Heaters.

(Sidenotes): I suggest to install some terraforming weapons, it lacks those.

Front and the back are complete, but... There are still space on the sides for more stuff.

Both shield and propulsors are on right button, because these need to charge a bit for a push. And while charging, the shield wouldn't hurt just in case. When you deactivate the shield, it's when you get a good speed boost. ;}

There is enough energy for main guns + shield (You can even fly with shield non-stop), but mid button drains it damn fast... Also, railguns have quite a recoil, so that's why I suggest tap-fire.
