Well I suppose +100 HP is nothing 4 Missiles can't handle

I really don't see how but...

Anyway, I like the Battlereaver but I don't really like the armored one, it uses too much repetition on the outside and, no offence, but it really doesn't look very good. Perhaps replacing the armor with a bunch of different sections and make it a little thinner.

The armored one is pretty fat.

I've got another one here. The Stalwart. I kind of used the idea of the Peitho with its front wall of armor for inspiration except the Stalwart has no deflector system. Aside from that though the Stalwart is pretty much its own design. It relies on a strong array of point defense and reinforced heavy armor on its front.

Stalwart and Peitho comparison.

I like the new one but anything small and speedy could get behind it and....

If it had no weakness then what fun would it be? It has pretty strong HP up front and on the sides but the sections facing the back are default HP so it is weak if it gets outflanked.

Have you posted any pictures of it on the forum yet? I'd like to see your ships if you have. :3

I like the Stalwart. It uses the Peitho's idea but leaves a small gap in the middle. One thing I would suggest is putting a few boosters or useless boosters on it. I think it would look good (I might be wrong though).

Hmmm. More boosters? Where do you think they should go? On the back sections?

Front, but if you don't want the weapons affected, just make them cost 1 energy and have 0 effect. Once more though, I'm not sure how good it will look.

I'm not quite sure where they would go on the front. I'm on the wrong computer to mess with it right now too.

Just for looks, to make it look shielded although it isn't. Note that I mean colour changed boosters, not red ones so they can look like shields. Sorry for not properly explaining what I meant but I wasn't 100% sure what I meant so... As for the wrong computer part, ah well, too bad. Maybe you can do it later but it doesn't really matter.

Oh I see. You mean boost the front "shield" sections so they look all glowy as though they had aegis or something.

Does that mean you can't see any of the pictures that photobucket users are posting?
