I'd just like to say this is one of my favorite mods, and it has some of my favorite ships. Just killed a level 1 high-tech orbital station with a Cinderblade, a pirate Dominator, a Flagellator, and a small support carrier. I basically just used the others as shelter for my Cinderblade to vent, but they did strip the armor a bit. The Flagellators are probably my second-favorite after the Cinderblade, since the AI just smashes them into stuff, even without an officer, so I can easily nuke the rest of the enemy with a high firepower ship, which just so happens to match my playstyle perfectly.
By the way, is there a way to get a Cinderblade besides the custom start and Vayra's Sector(in which I'm assuming it's possible to get it by doing the 'custom bounties')? I'd like to have more of them because they're so awesome looking. Maybe they're just really rare, but I haven't seen them in Stellar Networks, so I'm assuming they don't spawn or just don't spawn often.
