- I don't think I've ever designed a ship with armor that thick, let alone one that's also a small frigate.
- It's faster than my fighters and might have more range than my tankers.
- Can't tell if the gauss cannon is reduced accuracy, but if not it honestly has pretty substantial firepower, if not armor penetration.Maybe I should have used a worse FC, FYI, the original misses ships 5 times its size, IN VISUAL RANGEI mean, that's hardly a fair criticism of a specific ship in IL.
The only ones that don't do that are the ones that don't have anything 5 times their size to miss.
Gauss do one dmg, no pen.
As for the "advantages," I dunno, but ALL my ships are heavily armored and overspeeding lumps of duranium, and the fuel tank is just for adding mass, most ships in IL have ridiculously small amount of weapons for their size anyways. Especially for those with one single weapon at the tip of the bow, probably accounting for like 5% the mass of the whole ship.
