I'm bored. I'll shoot ideas at your team, k?

Big, dense ships = tachyon win, plasma win, flanking lose.

I don't know what to make...

Your gap between the Aegis is not 10 degrees, the initial opening is but because the gap goes straight out you actually clip into the 10 degree arc. Take a look at Droid's lolbaitship (pictured below) on how to angle your gap to make it legal.

Yes, this is a double post. Too much going on in the previous post to edit this in...

Presenting the battleship Tintenfisch :

Thanks for the general layout idea ASM (I'm not going with the Citrus this time!), and look - no Lancets!

The Dusks are boosted, and on their own they are easy to intercept. However the Scorpian Rockets (Scorpion??) act as a mask and escort the Dusks in very often. The Scorpians also do a decent amount of damage on their own and spread out nicely.

The lone Revolver Weasel is there to get around facing an Aegis especially when in a situation where this ship is the last survivor. It takes awhile but it does do the job and can prevent a stalemate.

I tested 8 of these against the Mothership2 and I lost 1 ship, 3 others had 3 ablative sections missing, 1 had one ablative section missing, and the last 3 were in perfect shape - and the Mothership2 was destroyed.

@Jafo

That's pretty good, lol. You probably need more ablative on the left side and stuffed into the crack because you're not using any nanos. Though... granted it has ridiculously long range.

Also, you read my mind. I was going to make a dusk frigate since they are more efficient than blasters on frigates:

35 DPS / 2 for sections, 6 from weapons = 4.375
14 DPS / 2 for sections, 2 from weapons = 3.5

@Droid

:-p. Its cool if you use it but I bet you can improve on it

Am I a bastard?

gaps in aegis are 4 pixels.
Still major WIP, but I think this could be hilarious.

Better hope you don't get hit by a plasma.

If I was going to make Lulz the bait ship like that, I'd stick a nano on a pretty much fully deflectored hull with mad speedz.
