High Energy Explorer

Description
An advanced energy based ship on an modular explorer hull. Has double shield generators, a couple of mk3 reactors and four plasma cannons complimented by a pair of laser projectors.

Designed to face the enemy with shields up, and blast through all their shields and armor with overwhelming firepower. All components are heat neutral and do not lose performance over a sustained fight. The weapons are also energy neutral when the engines are not active, or shields are not charging.

The ship also has five mk2 engines with a set of wings and dorsal fins, designed to allow for fast deep-space explorations to unknown territory.

Running this with low laser tech currently to avoid the energy drain and it is fantastic!

I got some of those laser research upgrades and somehow my energy usage sky rocketed.

The game doesn't do a good job of explaining energy draw for shield charging but it seems significant. Firing all weapons and having shields charging at the same time draws all reserve energy in a couple of seconds.

Doesn't help that I have lasers set to auto. Perhaps it would be better to replace those fins with a couple of batteries, though I do love the speed while travelling in the void.
