Oh god, why? Also there's a special HVB if you have Vayra's Sector. But mainly, WHY?
Penelope

Something something thicc. It's a big beefy surveyor, for when an Apogee just isn't quite cutting it.

Great long range fire support, just watch out for missiles or like... a single angry fighter. Or space rocks. Really just try not to get hit, ever.

Does fantastic until a sabot finds it.

Sneaky freighter.

A bit tougher than a dram, but not nearly as efficient.

Chunkier, speedier, fightier, and explodier. Half of those were real words, I promise.
Changelog
1.0 - Initial release.
1.1 - I... don't remember. You'll see why on the next line.
1.2 - Made the changelog. Hit several ships with the nerf bat, fairly hard. Fixed a couple bugs. One or two that still need changing, but those ones are in limbo and may be moved to a different thing before too long, so they stay untouched. Also one of them is undergoing a rework, as is the Penelope.
1.? - finally the bug is fixed courtesy of vayra
Hippogryph (as in the original Rose Bounty mod, dunno if it was changed with the merge) is the single most deliciously immoral ship I have ever encountered (outside of mods which people specifically told me were unbalanced, that is). Once you figure out it's wrong to show any restraint whatsoever in (https://i.imgur.com/wkIHaSM.png) FIRING ZE MISSILES (https://i.imgur.com/wkIHaSM.png), you can get >600% ratings in Starship Legends with only modest effort.
Supposing you want to make it balanced
If the ship system only had two non-refilling charges it'd still be very strong.
Alternative idea: downgrade to regular missile autoforge and instead give it a hullmod that makes missiles cost 0 OP have lower OP costs.
Although tbh I'm not imaginative enough to think of what you'd do to make it balanced and also not just Gryphon+. Maybe someone else has an idea.
