Look at the MP4 posted above. Its unmistakable once you see it. It has the bulbous front, the top extra tank line and the big ol side jaunt that the ship does. All in the right places at the right proportion.

Edit: The "launch bay" on the atlas is a large missile slot i think. It looks almost directly stolen from a Gryphon

Same bulb to the front, same long tank, and the large mounts fit into the sperical tanks, I think it's pretty sure it is a Prometheus refit.

Looks like a Prometheus Mk. II to me, yep.

Alright, I see the resemblance now.

I could see it being a Squall or something like that, sure.

I am so, so ready for pirate superfreighter and supertanker conversions.

Interesting.  A set of converted capital-class civilian ships to round off the various other Ill-Advised Modification ships. :) Next patch is shaping up to make Pirate Raids more threatening!

I'm really curious what caused such an interesting break in the Atlas Mk.II's hull.  Just a random one-off result of the ship breaking code (which I suspect), or did a weapon actually cause that?

Yeah I do see the semblance before that was pointed out I thought it resembled a re-purposed Domain era probe.

Probably a little of both. In that the ship breaking code produced a nice image for us to look at some new Large Energy Hotness.

Yeah I regularly get Sliced Colossus dish when it blows up. But since large Energy could use some more members...

Pirates get regularly blown by Derelicts so they started thinking that shieldless and weird mount arrangement make for strong ships  ;)

So that thing is a converted tanker, pretty fitting given that the sector is in disrepair. The game does need more radical conversions for its lesser factions.
