meh, it has fighter support, maybe drones, and those other small turrets - there's one on the port bow and a shredder on the starboard aft.

The three quills on the broadside are universals. You can make a fairly decent PD ship... actually you can fit almost anything on it, it's extremely flexible. But while the PD is arguably lacking, the ship has no uncovered flank if you kit it accordingly, and the Barracuda Drones and 180 omni shield shore up the rest.

Also, since when doesn't two arguses basically stop any and all missiles from hitting your engines? : p

I have new missiles planned, but a few of them require some coding acrobatics I can't currently handle on my own. I might add one as a placeholder, though.

Yeah, what IS that small mount on the port side, the one facing downwards? It looks like a new weapon...

I smell a scalar deracinator on crack.

The Convergence, the Asura, the new Revenant and now this one. That's gonna be a big BRDY update.

For the new missiles acrobatics, you should ask MesoTroniK. Weird missiles scripts is his job after all.

Just another unimaginative Battle Angel Alita/BOC shoutout. But hey, it ends in -nos which goes well with the Karkinos since they both have deracinators.

E: for the new page

A phase teleport frigate, cool. The Asura looks interesting as well, though it seems prone to overload a lot. I winced at 13:40.

BTW, isn't the Asura supposed to have a Flux Ejectors system? I didn't saw you using it in the video, the zoom is pretty far so i might have missed it though.

The flux ejector system isn't implemented yet, so the Asura just has active flares and slightly better flux stats than it would have with the intended system.

Flare system! Ah, my mortal enemy - limited uses, limited applicability, doesn't even work very well, it's the trifecta of filler for a ship that'd otherwise be too good with something useful.

Righto...however...If he's been fiddling with some of Daimaski's flare codes....That would end up making them a whole lot more useful.

Oh wow...he's updating his 1st post.......we know what this means  :o :) ;) :D ;D
