Adds a selection of unusual vessels and weapons.
Requires:
LazyLib (http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=5444.0)
MagicLib (https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=25868.0)
Frigates
(https://i.imgur.com/GpC5nfI.png)
Aeith - Glass cannon gunship.
Ox MK.II - Imagine a Buffalo MK.II, but only frigate sized. About as threatening as you'd imagine.
Nemo - An Omen, but rather than an EMP emitter has a focus on fleet support.
Concierge - Lightweight PD oriented Frigate.
Concierge (P) - Pirate conversion that does away with fancy systems for missile spam.
Pilaster - Sort of like a monitor that can fire while its shield is up.
Tamerlane - Aggressive assault frigate.
Shkiper - A highly durable combat rated drone tender.
Dram Mk.= - Pirate engineering gone mad, although it actually has a somewhat potent missile system.
Hooligan - An engine with guns and armour bolted on, cheap and highly aggressive.
Vexilla - Reversed Centurion, but altered to mount a lot of missiles.
Lout - "Perfect" for the down on their luck captain on a budget!
Destroyers
(https://i.imgur.com/jzP8mQx.png)
Buffalo Mk.= - Cursed.
Rednus - Backwards Sunder, loses the large mount, but has effective options.
Susrat - Combat freighter / Carrier hybrid.
Susrat-S - As above, but also offers salvage bonuses.
Falconet L - Pirate hackjob, with a ballistic turret.
Falconet R - Pirate hackjob, with an energy turret.
Surebrec - Cheap destroyer.
Surebrec MK.II - It has a Large missile hardpoint, what more needs to be said.
Inimeg - Combat freighter, generally has to make the choice between PD or direct fire weapon capabilities.
Valkrie MK.II - Large ballistic turret, cruiser tier range, what's not to love.
Cephalofoil - Missile hammerhead.
Portico - Shield-based Lineship, relatively light weapons load.
Scric - High-tech fire support vessel.
Foreman - A mining Enforcer, for when you're unsure if you want to mine, or to kill.
Cruisers
(https://i.imgur.com/CbKXfnu.png)
Undertaking - Reversed and extended venture, more missiles, and swaps mining pods for a borer wing.
Undertaking (LP) - Pather Siege engine, packs a scary missile.
Gryphon (B) - Ballistic variant of the Gryphon, can be quite powerful.
Pteroma - Shield tanking cruiser, can pack quite a punch.
Sojurn - Lots of small energy mounts and a pair of heavy drones.
Dominatrix - Sister to the Dominator, an armoured frontline missile ship.
Saga - Missile support and a flight deck, but definitely not suited to front line combat.
Lily - Multi-use Autoforge... but only 3 small missile mounts, devastating if used to its strengths.
Scut - Clumsy and fragile, but at least it's cheap!
Capitals
(https://i.imgur.com/U6xN25q.png)
Onquest - What you get if you jam half of an onslaught onto a conquest.
Bounties
(https://i.imgur.com/2an3apd.png)
Phaeton Mk.= - Offered by enemies of the Pirates, minimum player level 5, 90 days elapsed, fleet size 100.
Conslaught - Offered by enemies of the independents, minimum player level 7, 150 days elapsed, fleet size 200.
Weapons
(https://i.imgur.com/dKzYFNx.png)
Arpo MRM / Arpo MRM Pod - Cheap knockoff Harpoons.
Creeper Cluster Torpedo / Typhoon Creeper Launcher - Cheaper Reapers.
Flint Coilgun - Knockoff Railgun.
Gyro Micromissile Launcher - Cheap and Weak, but enduring anti fighter weapon.
Bearing Microrocket Rack - Weak but sustained light kinetic pressure.
Axle Microtorpedo Launcher - Lacks the power of a more standard torpedo, but has enough ammo to sustain longer engagements.
Mini Mining Blaster - Tiny and Inefficient, but a decent punch.
Miser Heavy Coilgun - An "Advanced" pirate weapon
Wings
(https://i.imgur.com/6eTLQEh.png)
Rumbler Heavy Interceptor - Knockoff Thunder, lacks any real EMP damage capabilties.
Khanda Support Fighter - Basically a flying point defense platform.
Aruval Support Drone - Rather cheap kinetic support fire, but completely lacking in survivability.
Kirpan Torpedo Bomber - A Khopesh that is better against heavy armour, more or less.
Urumi Heavy Fighter - A flying needler, devastating to shielded targets but falls short against armour.
Piranha (P) Missile Bomber - Even cheaper and less threatening than the standard Piranha, but can actually hit frigates.
Chivy Support Fighter - Simple point defense and disruption support.
