Description
HOW TO USE:
For the most part flys like any other ship. Number 4 on the hotbar is railgun salvo mode, if you build the ship in survival
you may need to re-select the piston in the event controller menu. Dodge when possible and ALWAYS keep front toward enemy.

Throughout it's life the Rixator underwent numerous changes to improve it's survivabilitiy, lethality, ease of of use, and maneuverability.
Changes from various models:
Block 2: Longer by two blocks to add large ion lift thruster, and secondary jump drive. Also an interior remodel.
Block 3: Better armor around the magazine, 3rd jump drive in engineering section, interior turrets, interior remodel.
Block 4: Wider by two blocks to allow for the magazine to be moved to the rear, and for the addition of two artillery turrets, and two Gatling turrets.
Aswell as some addition thrust and armor. The space occupied by the old magazine was replaced with a 4th jump drive and crew quarters. Also interior remodel.

The Rixator was an excellent ship easily capable of beating most of our opponents in a 1v1 with it's railguns, and carrying fighters for
anything it couldn't catch up to. It was only in the last weeks of the war when the enemy began producing ships that could pose a threat to it, however
those ships were closer in size to a light cruiser. The only real issue which persisted throughout it's life was generally poor braking thrust, which was improved
but not fully solved. In the future it will likely take a backseat to the Aegir heavy frigate which has a longer fuel range and more fire power, for similar cost
with only marginally shorter jump range.
