Can I use your ships in some faction mods I'm making?

I will add links to your mods and your name so you get the credit.

@blackknight24 True that diagonal ships trade some thrust efficiency for surface area to mount weapons that allows their firing arcs to all be forward-facing, compared to broadside ships or only forward facing weapons on standard grid ships

interesting, but diagonal ships lose 1/3 or their thrust power since it fires in an opposing direction to make it travel forward.

Almost same budget, since budget is what counts. No? :)

Wait, so you're telling me your AI battle testing was 1v3? How is that a fair test?? 🤣🤣

I like back-and-forths within the community. It's fun and it can make us improve. :)

@Yaddah I'm glad you like it lol. The screenshot was most definitely meant as a joke since your "combat testing" of my previous ship is what drove me to design this ship as an improvement! Just as your Lisboa design is what inspired me to "try to make it diagonal with full shield coverage" that ended up being my Akama design.

Did AI vs AI battle between the Exarch & the ES Lisboa + 2 Tick 4B2D to even out budgets. Result: The Exarch almost managed to eat its way through to the Lisboa's first reactor which was about to blow when the two Ticks managed to kill the Exarch's first reactor. Dunno how it would've went, had the Lisboa's reactor gone first. Screenshots:

Seems like a capable ship. I'm not sure if all the weapons can shoot forwards at the same time - particularly some of the Disruptors. Maybe it could also use a bit more frontal armor, although that didn't matter in this particular fight.
Cheers. :)

Much better layout of the ship. Much more cost efficient shields. Looking forward to doing battle with this.

Haha - that screenshot. Nice improvements.

This ship looks nice!
