Dream Ship

[tnighthawk]

I don't have all the unlocks yet and plan to build a more combat oriented ship once I do and have better intimidate. For now running around in the Hauler:
Hull 18
Armor 11
Engines 36
Sails 36
Crew 53
Cargo 192 plus 25 water and 25 electronics
Guns 25
Toros 6

Cargo includes cargo hold but I went for an escape shuttle rather than weapons locker... Although given the hull/armor and lack of crew I am much more likely to be killed in a melee than hull crush.

Just got the Ship Designer and this is my new starting ship design.
I mostly like gun bunny/boarding style of play and have little to no use for torps, especially for a starting captain when the cost and difficulty of replacing expended ones is an issue. Also enjoy trading early game while building my skills in preparation for my preferred past time of spying and blockading against Rychart.
Not the most fuel efficient design but gives the Cargo space, Crew and guns to keep it usefull with judicious upgrades for quite sometime.

I've been using the Slayerz NR2 for some time now, and it's still almost the most perfect ship I've ever had. I've been tweaking a little, and will unveil the Slayernz NR3 soon.

I'm at 1075 hostile encounters, and 183 contracts. Working my way to the Paragon contractor (350 contracts) and Fist of Shalun (1117 battles). the NR3 will help push me over the line

I've been away from ST for month's and seeing all the new stuff is great. Having a bunch more achievements to do is incentive to spend serious time again.

Damn the TB's and their Socks too many great games and not nearly enough time to play them.
I've got ST, ST4X and HoS all demanding my time and attention, don't dare open up CK, TA or AoP to see how they've come along, getting little enough sleep as is

My current ship is a fast highly fuel efficient tank
hull 16
Armor 22
engines 36
Sails 55
Crew 50
Cargo as high as possible
Guns 18
torps 10
After upgrades that is.
Upgrades Structural upgrade deadnought architecture
Combat upgrade heavy bulkheads but thats not necessary
Interior upgrade water-fuel tank
Propulsion upgrade advanced sail system Armament upgrade Hyperion superstructure with those upgrades this thing is a monster
And can be used by anybody zealot smuggler spy explorer alien hunter with veteran officer and templar anybody

can destory engines in only a few turns
doesn't even need to board or use torps

Slayernz NR2
Hull 22

Hold 204 (including WF Tank, Cargo Hold+20%, Weapons Cabinet, WF Recycling Plant, and Cargo Pod+10).
Guns 45
Torps 2

WF Consumption 0.87 Red, 0.00 Green
You could probably make it more fuel efficient if you lower crew as crew is not vary important compared to WF consumption
I think thats one thing you should change for the NR3

Slayernz NR2-B?
Hull 22
Armor 16
Engines 50

Love being able to build my own craft to start. Still trying to get a perfect spy craft. But i usually start with 8 hull 4 armor 18 sails 16 engine 30 crew 30 hold 6 guns and 4 torps.
Usual upgrades w/f weapons omni and others. Does well for attack or retreat.
Good job guys

8 Hull you insane!

no it's the other stats with 8 hull thats insane. I've made an effective ship with only 10 hull the other stats made up for it.

Any suggestions on Making it better? Current Cost is 923,882 built on Aro.

Nice ship. It's a shame you didn't get just 1 more engine into your design - 18 hull and 36 engine = Fast agility

It's certainly got a good number of torps - I suspect you are a closet Cadarian

It will definitely meet the needs of an indi smuggler.

... well you know what they say: Walk softly, and carry a Predator Xeno Torp Array

[topper4125]

Went in and added that last extra engine and a few extra holds... it went over my $1M budget, but it was worth it.

New specs:

And for Upgrades I went with:
Steuctural: Cargo Hold (+20%)

Combat: Escape Shuttle

Interior: water-fuel tank

Propulsion: Smugglers Hold (why is that a propulsion upgrade? Am I stowing passengers and cargo in the fire walls of retro-rockets or something?)

Armament: Omni-Stealth Array.

Which gives me a total of 151 holds, and fairly quiet trips through the universe.

Now I just have to find a political officer, and any of the following:
1) Tradesman
2) Mechanic
3) Body Guard
4) Scout
First one I find wins

Wait, Cadarians have closets?

Usually Cadarians only have one spare suit. Armored pajamas.

Been using the following. Still a very new player, haven't found much better yet.

Hull:20
Armor:19
Eng:51
Sails:51
Crew:70
Cargo:160
Guns:21
Hellos:26

Its a custom build. Any suggestions for improvement?
