Bellerophon

Author: TooMuchErin

Description: [0.23.2][Ion Orbiter/Ram] Cabal of Sol, Bellerophon by TooMuchErin (1,500,000) Design: Moderate-Hard: optimizing the ions to have as few suppliers as possible took a lot of tweaking and tinkering. Has only bare minimum crew across whole ship (by bare minimum I mean everything has good sustain and the reactors won't give out), and the shields might have too much crew, but it means that they have incredibly high uptime. With 4 shields on each side, it will be hard for anything without EB or constant focused damage to get through. From testing, they hold up against a constant barrage of missiles from a morbiter if damage is spread well. Piloting: Moderate-Hard: With the limited frontal and side armor, damage has to be spread effectively, as well as escaping incoming projectiles. Other than that, pretty normal ion ram piloting, and can detach armor to become an orbiter, and can also un-fix the ion beams to have focused damage. It is a fairly fast ship, so to pilot effectively, it needs to attack its enemies' sides or try to tank it all with the shields and the aformentioned thin armor. The hooks also cannot detach, so be careful not to get rocked, or armor will have to be removed, due to no reverse thrust. Do not remove armor versus ions, deck cannons, or anything with EB.
