@deltaCorben: For that I refer you to the description section of my newer ship releases. In those I always add a disclaimer that explains how to work around the currently missing feature of correctly loading crew assignments.

How do I load your crew roles?

I just did!

Nice :) If you're using multiple of these, it's probably time to upgrade though.

With a couple of these (along with their crab escorts) I was able to capture a Medium Cabal Arms Depot mostly intact.

Thx. In creative you can also click "reset crew" and that fixes a recurring missing crew bug.

I have found a way to fix your crew should any of you run into a similar issue: Abandon ship and have your other ship send some crew over. That should most likely fix the crew ai, at least it did for me. Hope that helps!

Weird. Well it is early access...

I really like this ship, but the crew ai is bugged in multiplayer games. They will not power the lower half of the ship for some reason.

Feel free to. Layout or paint design?

I love the desig. To be honest I copied it :D

Thanks inotna2001.

@malakhglitch: If it's a downgrade, then won't this do worse in the more difficult sectors you're skipping to? Well, if it works for you it works. I just don't think adding 2 point defense guns instead of disruptors does what you want it to do. But I'm currently working on a solution for ships that want more point defense. I'm struggling to come up with a name, maybe you can help:

Nice paintjob!

I used the Leipzig to handle the shields. Yes, it's a downgrade, but I decided to skip some of the lower level solar systems because I needed the Fame.

Hm, where are the disruptors? This ship will struggle to do anything to shields without any disruptors and taking down shields was the original intent. Its not this ships job to deal raw damage. There are better weapons & designs for purely dealing raw damage than Heavy Lasers - they're just there to accompany the Disruptors. And the two PD guns that took the Disruptors place aren't gonna do anything against a missile ship. Imo, with PD you have to go all in or not at all. I chose the not at all angle and focus on what this ship's good at instead - escorting a ship that deals a lot of raw damage but struggles with shields. If you can find a way to add meaningful point defense, while also keeping the ships role and other stats intact, that's an upgrade. Otherwise it's a downgrade.

I found it difficult fighting those pure missile boats, so... https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2885991744

Yeah, I'd love to add a little bit of point defense, but there's just no space and I want it to remain as low profile as possible to keep it cheap and protectable by these 4 shields. Where would you add it?

only thing i can think to add is i notice a lack of point defense
side note... Sick paint job! Love it!

Love how you made the engines seem like a single piece

You create a folder by right clicking on the "My Ships" folder, name the new folder, save the ships you want to upload in it and right click on that folder and select upload.

If you're struggling to reach the next level of ship design, you can always a screenshot in the ship sharing section of the forum and ask for advice. I regularly check there.

i have a Question how do i Upload ships myself ( non of my ships could defeat yours btw)

love the paint job

Thx for the nice comment. Yeah, I was a bit surprised honestly by its standalone effectiveness, as I designed primarily as an anti-shield escort with a lot of its budget in Disruptors which doe relatively minor hull damage.

Fantastic ship!
Seems to punch way above its weight (or price/crew) class.
Also like the paint which gives the ship a very different three dimensional feeling.

Thx.

wow, cool ship!
