A.R.E.S Heavy Gunship

100% vanilla, has a devastating melee attack.

the gunship is powered by a very large gravity drive, giving it massive acceleration despite being made entirely out of heavy armor.

hundreds of gyroscopes allow the ship to turn at extreme rates as well. resulting in maneuverability that even surpasses that of a light fighter

the ship's main role is space combat, as it is incapable of operating in planets due to its gravity drive, however when used properly the ship can cripple even the largest of warships in only a few strikes, and is nearly indestructible through a combination of ultra heavy armor, massive agility and player skill.


the ship is fully buildable in survival, though it is a large resource and pcu investment (takes about a week to build one if starting from zero in a server), and combat is extremely risky and volatile due to it being a melee ship, so make sure to practice with the ship before committing to building it, as it is very easy to absolutely trash it by crashing into an enemy or especially an asteroid (the ship will plow through an entire asteroid if you let it, i'm not kidding).

ion thrusters are included in the design to help with docking, though they are not usable for anything other than 3-6 m/s maneuvers, also make sure to turn them off when using the gravity drive, as they will activate and waste fuel.


making the melee weapons longer is definitely the meta, make them as long as possible to slice enemy ships into little pieces. 100% worth it even if its just temporary.


IMPORTANT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the ship can only be printed from front to back, otherwise the gravity engines will not build. (also remove yellow supports once finished)
(the melee weapons will autobuild once you install their projector base, they will be shorter than in the pictures above, they can be manually extended indefinitely but will only autobuild to their original length)
