How about this Upgraded Rastaban II?

[light dew]

I created an upgraded version of the Rastaban ship, and would love to see it in the game so I'd be happy to give you guys the blueprints if if you want.

It's much harder to kill as it lacks the built in rear vulnerability, has improved beams, and now side-shields, BUT it still has no rear shields to balance things out a little.

The outside cargo bays are another vunrability, but could be replaced with small rockets very easily.

Like so

Sorry to say but you cant submit ships to be added to the game here. Only the architects make ships for the game.
There sometimes are contests for getting a ship into the game so you could try waiting for such an event.

You can also make a mod that adds it to the game instead

Also as a note built in’s aren’t necessarily built with being the best in mind. And often have intentional vulnerabilities etc.

Aw nuts

I know, that's why it's an upgraded version but not giga upgraded. I could have had rear facing shields too

I don't know much about enemy ships but I don't think they tend to have shields that are covered by armor. I mean, you can't even see the blue zone of the shields as the sides. I know that is common for players, but not sure if that is common por npc

I can shunt it a little if you like
