while not part of the Yuri faction, this mod adds a midline ship called the Raven, which is a kind of Eagle variant. I tried it, and I think it's terrible. The Raven is an interesting concept, in that it comes with detachable armor pieces with weapons underneath, which stop malfunctioning once the armor is shot off.

Hi, yes, that was the initial idea I had for the ship's AI - that since its special gimmick increased its survivability as a line ship, then it should hold onto it for as long as it can. Iirc, it's just programmed to jettison it when reaching 30% hp for 'one last hurrah'. But I suppose there are also those who wish to use its extra weapon slots more aggressively. Not really sure how to square these too seemingly contradictory concepts, but I'll take note of your feedback. Thanks!

Huh, if you have either good shield stats or AAF before the armor comes off, that could be pretty cool.  Especially if you dump flux with the armor.  Real nice surprise when the ship is under pressure.
