Akama - Gen 1 Level 14 Destroyer

@Taranchuk Nope, just my personal ships I've designed. If you subscribe to it, you can add it to your ship library to be able to build it in the game as one of your own ships though!

Do these ships appear in the game as NPC ships?

@Darth Porgus Correct, while it has some shields, they are not able to withstand sustained fire for long. Your best bet is to use this type of ship as part of a squadron of multiple fighters, or at least backup for your main Destroyer. It should be able to handle lower level enemies fairly easily though

Also seems cools. So this ship is intended to flank the enemy and put damage out instead of taking all the damage in, right?

Cool. Looking forward to it. I like the idea of a cheap anti-shield escort and have my own. Seems like a very effective ship type vs AI.

@Yaddah Yeah, it's unfortunately not the most effective ship 1v1 in AI battles because it's not designed to be the primary target. If I had planned to use it more as a Destroyer, I would have gone with much more armor instead of the full shield coverage. The speed did end up lower than I had planned. I was somewhat restricted by the function this craft was built for, which is a heavy support interceptor with enough Disruptors to quickly shut down shields or other vital components from a flanking position.

Definitely learned a lot while building it and if I make a Mk2 or a more combat/price optimized version, I have a list of changes I would want to make. Thrust might be the one thing I adjust and update on this ship, but anything beyond that would be a full overhaul and a new ship design.

So I tested your ship vs my new Ion Kite in AI vs AI. The Akama first destroyed my left prism battery, but then couldn't catch the Kite going at about 90m/s in reverse and use all of its weapons (thankfully, because the AI often doesn't kite at all). It took the help of EMP missiles to get through the Akama's strong shields, but thankfully the AI was able to kill the large ones during their short down time before it ran out of EMP missiles.

I'd suggest you make your interceptor a bit faster, as it would've won, had it been able to close the distance. Maybe get rid of some of the backwards facing large shields and rely on thruster cover or back facing PD instead. That should save a lot of money that can be put into thrust.

@Nepofine Once you subscribe, it's automatically added to your ship library in the Steam Workshop folder. You can load it into the creative from the ship library, or to upgrade one of your current ships to this design, go into Build mode, hit the Ship Editor Menu, and Load Ship Design

how can put the ship in the game?

No I'm not. But I've already figured it out. It's the difference btween saving and copying. Merely copying and pasting it into a pic editor results in that beige background colour.
