I found the dual mining turret once during my last play through, no idea how though.
Is there a reason the 14th maraka is worse than a 14th eagle thats 2 DP cheaper than it? I'm assuming its the built in speed but i finally found one so i was trying to build it out expecting a faster dom with maybe less hardpoints but it's seemingly worse in most stats compared to other ships near its DP cost(22). I'm about to finish the gate quest and start some serious exploring so i'll give it some battle testing but off the bat its giving me falcon vibes for far more DP spent.
Maraka doesnt compete with the eagle tho, it competes Dominator itself, slap thrusters/injector and you get just wee slower ship with extra punch, it wil scale even higher with any smods and captains.
In my own balance ~ iv'e set it to 170 OP changed small missiles to mediums and gave maneuver buff (to cap ceiling a bit added thrusters inbuilt, base adjusted a little) for 22 DP it does pretty well. Can do way more builds with it so more fun to fight it.
Quite a few ships need to be rebalanced here. After removal of OP increase from skills many ships just dont do that well, you might notice that every ship tend to lack OP for the DP you pay. Not a fan of balancing ships around player skills, makes ships in AI hands toothless and fights boring. Can smack 5/10/15/20 Op depending on ships size almost on every ship on almost every mods to match vanilla shipbuilding feel.
