It's a hullmod - adds frontal shields, and pretty bad ones at that. You can make your own version of it, though - any type of shields and relevant shield stats. These shields can also be modified by shield-affecting hullmods.


Nothing else I can think of at the moment, no :)

Ah, that's cool. Sounds like it won't even need much modification to meet my needs :)

dakka dakka dakka

Thiian Ithia-class Battleship (Ritiak to the right for size comparison):



The Ritiak goes for quality over quantity, boasting five large mounts. However, the Ithia goes for quantity over quality, with three large mounts, 6 medium mounts, 11 small mounts, 4 medium missile mounts, and a single fight deck. Overpowered? Yes. Rare? Yes. Expensive as hell? Double-yes.

After being away for some time, I come back to find the Ritiak has a big brother. Someone needs to make that ship Orky.  :o

Now if only cruisers like the Ritiak responded to escort commands. One could create roaming death squads with Ithia and a pair of Ritiaks.

Biased towards the Esk Coalition, because I can destroy them with lazers.

@Psiyon RE: new ships
Goddamn Psiyon, you're really getting good at this. Those latest three Lyseti ships, and your new Ithia-class battleship especially, look fantastic. Keep it up brother

Nice to see that you guys like the new ships :)

I think I might make a video of the Ithia vs a Cerija. It's a short, fairly even engagement, but holy hell is it loud.

And nice to see you again, Yoshi. It'll be comforting to know that when I release the first beta, you'll be there to break it. :P

Haven't yet figured a way of going David vs Goliath on big fleets without playing the numbers game and fielding a swarm of fighters. Hrm......

Okay, so .53a totally broke the mod. I removed all download links on the first page. As stated before, Beta 1 is on its way, and it should be out next week-ish. But I promise it will be awesome. Super, super awesome.

Lyseti's Daratok-class Missile Destroyer:





Pending on how you outfit this ship, it can throw missiles like you wouldn't believe. 2 small, 4 medium, and 2 large missile slots (+2 small energy and 1 small ballistic).


After this, only one more Lyseti ship to go, and it's a rather strange one (Pending on if I can get it to work properly). The idea is that it's essentially an unmanned platform that launches shield drones in a wide radius. Friendly ships could move in close to the platform to stay out of direct enemy fire.

Also, Lyseti is pretty much established in the campaign now. They don't have a defined station, rather, small convoys spawn from Esk, Bli, and Nara, and deliver their trade goods to the system's various stations (Except for Thiiei's--Lyseti opposes them, and arms the Coalition/KTA with their weapons/ships instead). They also have shuttle groups moving from moon to moon, as one of the services they provide is escorted transportation.
