R2-11 Daunting C

Summary: Minimalist Core 11 Compact Destroyer inspired by The Dauntless by ArtemisRouge (here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2423906682 ), the first in a line of revolutionary low-CPU dreadnought killer ships that changed the game forever. This is an asymmetric variant of my R111-4 Daunting which was originally designed for Reforged Eden v1.7, featuring room for 2 improved shield boosters off in a side room beside the hangar in addition to the 2 that can fit in the hangar. I was not going to upload this, however in my opinion the new Small Fusion Reactor just barely saved the viability of this build.

This craft is designed for constant dodge-roll style combat at a distance of 500-800m from the target.

The design methodology is to spawn in a bit below the Core 11 CPU limit and maybe be expandable to 1-2 Aux cores. The majority of the thrusters are positioned in nacelles which are swept back in the rear, which provides great maneuverability, allowing you to face toward the enemy, ensuring that your thickest armor sections face toward them at all times. As the critical systems and decoys are located in front of the bridge and near the bottom of the craft, enemies with slower weapons will tend to miss you entirely when paired with the dodge-rolling tactic, however the effectiveness of this tactic may be reduced in RE2. Core is located 2 blocks in front of the engineering section, so that if you get blasted through, your primary systems, CPU extenders, and storage should remain intact for later recovery (cored ships tend to despawn after a few hours hours in multiplayer however).

Don't forget to customize your turret targeting and tune your roll speed down to about 55-65 based on cargo load and personal preference!

DESIGNED FOR USE WITH REFORGED EDEN 2

How it compares to the other variant of the Daunting:

- Asymmetric body featuring drive thrusters makes ship a little wider, allowing additional space for fixed guns and improved shield boosters
- Comes with max basic boosters and 1 Improved Shield Capacitor and Charger
- Comes with 1 fewer Laser Cannon (Room for many more)
- Slightly more fore/aft thrust, slightly lower all other thrust
- Modestly more cargo space
- All medical devices
- Even better cockpit visibility for parking and docking due to added windows above and to the sides

Upgrade advice: Easily accommodates more turrets, guns, and at least 1 aux core. Recommend to add another Improved Shield Capacitor in the hangar, then some fixed guns and turrets as desired. For the 2nd aux core, recommend to add Infrared Modulated Laser Turrets and Cruise Missile Launchers, and perhaps Sentinel Flak or Gatling Turrets to the rear of the nacelles for drone control.
