yes. yes much better, but i must nitpick and say that the section 25 you are using for the back middle exhaust should be flipped. Just a minor thing.

Thanks. Fixed



better?

*update*

I'm working on coming up with a backstory for these ships, but I've got a fleet name for them.

Anyway, new ship. It's significantly bigger than the other two, and significantly more powerful than a Do'Rylus Warmonger.

(Yes, I know it's shaped like a Star Destroyer. No, I don't care.)

The Archon



The Archon is slow, but packs a ridiculous punch. It sports 4 main types of weaponry.

The Jackhammer Cannon

A heavy-issue Ascendancy Penetrating Railgun, fondly nicknamed "The Jackhammer" by crew members. The Archon's large frontal cannon is capable of penetrating deep into opposing ships' hulls, inflicting interior damage and sniping off weaponry or shield projectors. With its laser sight and almost instantaneous projectile speed, The Jackhammer is able to strike with pinpoint accuracy.



Cloud Cannons

These sideways-firing weapons launch a large mass of bolts which curve around to strike their target from behind its frontal defenses. What they lack in accuracy and power, they make up for in quantity. They do an excellent job distracting point defenses, and their wide area of effect makes them effective against faster targets.





Heavy Lasers

Do I really need to explain this one to you? They're big red beams that do large amounts of damage.



Starburst Arrays

Primarily an anti-fighter weapon, the Starburst Arrays launch a short-range cloud of spinning particles that are especially effective against fighters making strafing runs. They're also effective as short-range shotgun bursts against larger ships.
