Description: This is the description of an older version that didnt have the free budget for a squib.
History
It seems like a lot of people still think that this is a meme ship but its actually legitimately good. Its like a dc spinner except that it can beat tbr. The ship isnt very optimised but I think its worth posting because we do not have anything similar here.
A very similar ship was originally made by a more casual player called "Der Geckige". I took the idea and streamlined it by making it more symmetrical and removing the hybrid weapon layout for more nukes.
The idea is that the ship counters many of the "overengineered" ships that are currently popular. Many ships simply dont have enough ammo to get through the armor and the speed advantage doesnt matter as much because the ship has 4 way symmetry.
Design: Moderate
Logistics are super simple. The only challenging thing is the armor distribution which could still use some improvements. The centers of the flat sides are notably weak.
Piloting: Moderate
Its generally very easy to pilot but you have 4 different nuke lines that can be controlled. Its also important to use the environment to your advantage. Covering weaknesses using asteroids or using blue nebulas to mitigate some of the range disadvantage is important.
Strengths- Easy to pilot
- Not punishing
- Beats a lot of other meta archetypes
Weaknesses- Sustained ranged damage
- No way to punish opponents mistakes
Adaptability- Changing armor distribution
- Adding internal weapons
