Also, there was Aurora named "Dawson’s Christian". But her beams definitely were not "burned brighter than all beams I'd seen before". Instead, it dies in a very first battle. Unrecoverable.
Probably, I shouldn't fit three phase lances on it. Stupid idea it was.
My best design choice for an Aurora so far was to strip it, slap 7 Antimatter Blasters into the front, install Safety Overrides and Aux Thrusters, put the rest into Flux and hand the keys over to my good ol’ Lieutenant Rio Tjon … a reckless officer.
The guy took off screaming, blasted a Lumen straight to hell, rammed a Radiant going 280 and took off behind the REDACTED fleet as I could have sworn I heard a faint “witneesss mmeeeee ..” over the comms console.
Sure, you give the guy a command and he answers with maniacal cackling as you can hear his crew record goodbyes for their families in the background, but the REDACTED fleet was almost as suprised as me.
