Favorite ship + outfit [spoiler]

[Luzilyo]

I'd like to see what everyone else likes to pilot most (so, favorite capital ship). So, i will start by posting my own favorite + outfit and then, if you want, you can do the same. you can also post a description how you usually use it and if you still want to change anything or if it is your final design.

• Ship: Kestrel
• Weapons: 2 Inhibitor Cannons, 2 Ion Cannons, 2 Particle Cannons
• Turrets: 2 Plasma Turrets, 2 Korath Warders
• Systems: 1 Cloaking Device, 1 Hyperdrive, 1 Jump Drive, 1 Large Heat Shunt, 5 Outfits Expansion, 1 Quantum Keystone, 1 Systems Core (Large), 1 Wanderer Ramscoop
• Power: 1 White Sun Reactor
• Engines: A860 Atomic Thruster, A865 Atomic Steering
• Hand to Hand: 128 Fragmentation Grenades, 128 Laser Rifle

I really like the fact that I can temporarily disable almost all enemies unless they have both, good power storage and good heat dissipation, in which case i will still slow them down. I also like to keep the 20 tons of cargo space free, just so i can still loot jump drives without having to switch to a different ship. The ship is a little fragile, but the engines are usually strong enough to get away for long enough to allow my shields and hull to repair, without me having to flee from the battle by jumping away. And where that is not an option, i can still use my cloaking device. Usually, the systems core is strong enough to recharge at least half of my shields before i have to uncloak again. the only problem is energy, but i think once the red sun(?) reactor becomes available, i'll move stuff around to fit one of them in and then it should not be such a big problem anymore.

ps: i'm aware that at least one similar thread already exists. however, that thread focuses more on the reasoning why it is your favorite ship, and doesn't include outfits, so i chose to start a new thread instead of posting there. If you are a mod and think the two threads are too similar and you want to delete this thread, please let me know in advance, so i can copypaste my post into the other thread before this one gets deleted.

edit: i just got the red sun. it is, as the name would suggest, smaller than even the yellow sun. for some reason i thought it would be bigger than the white sun, though. which is also why i was confused about the name and thought maybe i was remembering the name wrong. turns out, i remembered the name correctly but i remembered the size wrong. so now, i will obviously not swap out my white sun for a red sun because that would be a very stupid thing to do, since my ship already has energy problems.

edit2: ok, had to downgrade to a medium systems core to fit a blue sun reactor. so my regen/repair rate is a little worse but now i should not have any energy problems anymore. also, now i only need 4 outfits expansions instead of 5, so i have gone from 20 to 40 cargo space, which means i can either loot 2 jump drives or single equipment pieces up to 40 tons, before i have to change to a different ship.

edit3: removed the large heat shunt and replaced it with 3 cooling modules to save a bit of place. still need to see if that will bring back the energy problems or if it will be fine. also, added a type 1 radiant steering to fill the engine space a bit better and changed some other stuff too, so i will post an updated version of my initial list. due to all the changes, i now need the max amount of 6 outfits expansion which means i am no longer able to loot jump drives and if i do any missions that require cargo space, i'll have to take my fleet with me, which is a bit annoying. i guess i should figure out a way to deal with this.

so, updated list:

• Ship: Kestrel
• Weapons: 4 Inhibitor Cannon, 2 Ion Cannon
• Turrets: 2 Dual Sunbeam Turret, 2 Korath Warder
• Systems: 1 Cloaking Device, 3 Cooling Module, 1 Hyperdrive, 1 Jump Drive, 6 Outfits Expansion, 1 Quantum Keystone, 1 Systems Core (Medium), 3 Wanderer Ramscoop
• Power: 1 Blue Sun Reactor
• Engines: A860 Atomic Thruster, A865 Atomic Steering, 1 Type 1 Radiant Steering
• Hand to Hand: 128 Fragmentation Grenades, 128 Laser Rifle

A spoiler tag might be helpful here

done

Your only issue is that you do not have a [spoiler] tag in the title.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ninjas

At the very least, put spoiler tags on your alien outfits (the Cloaking Device, Ion Cannons, and Korath and Wanderer outfits, though not including the Jump Drive because Quarg) and the descriptions beside them.

Yaay!
As far as favorite ship though...
I'd say either Kar Ik Vot 349 or Heliarch Punisher.
And favorite outfit? Jump drive.

Well you screwed that one up didn't you

the spoiler tags in text make the list very annoying to read, so i think i'll just stick to having a spoiler tag in the title.

Operating from memory here, as my pc is away being serviced.

Shield Beetle for flagship.

No weapons
Coalition engines for efficiency.
Medium System core
Red Sun
Lots of Cargo expansions.

I plan to upgrade it to a korath generator since it can handle the heat, this will save me space because without weapons the battery space is not necessary.

I use this to strip outfits of groups of enemy ships as my escorts disable them during fights.

I like using a Navy Carrier. I forget what outfits I use, aside from the Cloaking Device and enough fuel pods to make around 6 Jumps. I typically carry 6 Flycatchers, outfit with Laser Turrets, making them the equivalent of Sparrows. I also carry 4 Korath Chasers, normally left in stock configuration. I like the Carrier because it has decent firepower of its own, as well as the fighters for additional help, without carrying around a fleet.. Except it also has large amounts of crew space, which is good for capturing enemy ships.
