I like the basic and the ease of building of this ship but it lack a bit in armor in strategic place (at least in my playthrough where the rockets are switched to 5 km homing missiles)

Do you mind if I publish a variation of it? I will credit you with the original design and make a link to here in the description of my variations (I have an idea or 2 while using this ship as the core)

why you refuse to make these actually look good as well as work good is beyond me, cause this ain't it chief.
