I play solo survival. I took this blueprint to try it out and I discovered that this truly is a fun ship. I was able to build it, p;lay with it, and fight pirats with it.

I built this ship on a moon and was able to lift it off. It does ok in lunar gravity. The ship is relativly inexpensive and straight foward. The redundency of systems is nice too espicly in battle. It is indeed able to take a lot of damage and still be operationail.
The ship does not have a jump drive. That makes this ship more of a static defence ship. It just is not practicle to take this ship anywhere. It is unable to keep up with the fleet. That said, it is great as a platform.
The second thing is the lack of heavy armour around the bridge. In one battle I was not far from death ass a peice of the hull was destroyed right above one of the bridge seats. Not mine so I was ok. But it is only lite armour. I do sujest making it heavey.

Overall this is a fun ship and I would recomend this one.
