New Split ships are amazing looking but...

Why do the transports and mining ships have such low capacity? I was sure I was going to get the L class miner ship from the Split, but then i saw it has the same capacity as my Argon M class miner. This makes me sad since the new ships are the coolest looking vessels in the game by far. Just for comparisons sake, the L Split miner has 10,000 capacity while the Argon one has 40,000. Very big difference!

I have a similar problem but about shield.

My dragon rider ( split ) has 6mj.....my old cerberus 20 mj.
I litteraly get melted by a couple of fighter inside this M split ship.

Split Ships are all about Speed, Firepower and Armor. Use Hit and Run tactics.

I have to get better at the game. Xenon M fully recharge their shield if a don't keep the pressure on them.

split transports can fight, really useful if your tired of that fighter messing with you.

it's stereotype of split ships. Been like that since previous installments

Split ship are actually slower due to having less shields, as shield energy is used for boost. So most split ships are pretty terrible. Mamba is a good fighter with 2 shields though, and Rattlesnake can be used as a player destroyer when you are not getting shot at.

Wasn't a problem in previous games, when shield and boost are separate. Now Split are slow and fragile.


I checked out the miner, it's twice as fast as the Argon L miner so it is no so as bad, it can reach speed 9700 in travel mode, fastest ships I've noticed yet.

Honestly I've had problems with L miners taking too long to fill their inventory, so it's a welcome addition

just slap teladi shields on em and their shield issue will be fixed

Split is all about speed and firepower, Boron is all about shield and speed with weapon disable, argon is all round ship, lizard is all about cago, hull, and shield, but slow as snail, Par is well, I forgot, Terran is all about overpower in everything they do and often most cool looking but high cost and hard to get ship to hold on.

True, it is basically a running gag. There are stories in the lore about Split ship designers creating new ships, stuffing the designs with an insane amount of weapons but completely forgetting shields. :D So, you can be happy to be able to install at least one shield. *rofl*
