with the new changes i do like. the Imaginos now with that alt ability is just crazy, still bits of a steep side for logistics but its a damn fine ship for early game, or late game if your into piloting it (doesn't seem do well controlled by AI against some of the other mod factions like neutrino).
Weapons wise, small and medium weapons of the black-rock are just simply amazing, shard weaponry is a reliable damage source for any situation and the sunjet PDE (the one that can turn) grills unshielded ships. my particular favorites though is those Scalar repeaters good range nice ammo pools to just burst things down to zilch. however, i fell like the Large scale weapons just don't cut it in comparison to other faction weapons. Ironweaver for the slot its on is fantastic for tiny ships or just putting up a flak wall for missiles (probably one of the best ways to deal with Missile ships). but the Solinoid cannon (i know ive spelt that wrong will correct it at a later date) just does not provide that bang for the buck so to say. so quite often i end up equipping my Krakinos with other faction weapons (Kadur theocracy Demolisher and redeemer take it to OP levels).
I feel like Black rock is missing a front-line destroyer. the desdinova is a good pursuer there is not that many destroyers can be rigged to go as fast as that can, but it lacks in serious combat where some of the more hardier heavy hitting destroyers just obliterate it from existence (if there's another and ive missed it please enlighten me). i would like something bit more sturdy in addition to it, but that is my opinion. *EDIT* just discovered the hammer-claw and that's closer to what i was looking for.
The asura is great in theory but to me its not a viable ship for people starting out. its not even a worthwhile phase ship in my opinion comparing it to other phase ships of similar class size. i do like it's lore and showing that phase tech is not quite optimal for blackrock, it feels like a show room model of what black-rock can do with phase tech, im sure theres people who can use it brilliantly but i just don't like it, maybe if it had a different ability or a unique weapons on it i could get behind it.
otherwise just love the rest especially the Krait fighter wings probably one of the best fighters I've used.
there's my 2 cents, haven't tried end times recently but i'm expecting to get something higher then 35%

. just finally got my hands on an Imaginos. that ship is beastly despite having no shields.
The stormcrow and nevermore B have been removed from the recent builds. They were outdated content that I feel don't really serve any purpose in the mod.
