LX-2 'Valkyrie'

Introducing the LX-2 "Valkyrie", the latest CV from Filbert Shipyards!

The Valkyrie is an end-game CV that has been inspired, style-wise, by the Kestrel Corsair (Which itself was largely influenced by Sulusdacor's Corvus Corvette). Featuring all of the functions required to take the fight to the enemy wherever they hide!

UPDATE: If you are looking for an endgame POI busting tank that is small enough to fit in the HV hangar on the Valkyrie i just posted my new Mastodon HT tank!

The LX-2 is similar to the LX-1 "Mjolnir" that i posted a few weeks ago but features some differences and many improvements (including a much cooler, in my opinion, appearance!). The LX-2 was designed around a slightly different approach than the LX-1. Where the LX-1 was designed to take a lot of damage in a drawn out slug-fest, the LX-2 "Valkyrie" has a lot more firepower to help finish the fight quicker, a needed change as the Valkyrie is a bit lighter in the armor department. The changes over the LX-1 mean that the Valkyrie not only packs a more powerful punch, it also is cheaper than "Mjolnir"!

The LX-2 "Valkyrie" is styled after my other recent builds (Mjolnir, Starstrider IV etc.) in the sort of 'Space PMC' look and feel. I used the same color palette and same angles and styling as the others in the series so the ships would all look like they belong to the same group of freelancers or mercs or PMC contractors.

I have only done limited playtesting (Im mostly recovered from cancer treatment so im back to work with less time for Empyrion...) but i was able to spawn the Valkyrie in survival singleplayer without mining sathium. I found a wrecked capitol vessel on a temperate planet that was made out of combat steel and used the structural integrity to break it down into an ample supply of sathium plates that went straight into the workshop! She flies great, hits hard and so far has been everything i could have hoped for! I will continue to playtest the Valkyrie and if i find any glaring issues i will update it! Feel free to offer any and all feedback, it is much appreciated.

UPDATE: Still playtesting; took out a few lightly armed freighters (no challenge), and an Imerat-class destroyer. The Valkyrie's stats say she has excellent roll but is a bit light on pitch. I have found (and this could just be my flight style) that if you are rolling even a little (or just moving on more than one axis at a time) the ship will pitch perfectly. The Valkyrie handles great and has been a joy to fly thus far. Came across one of the new Tovera-class Dreadnaughts. If you haven't come across them yet, give them a wide berth. These ships appear to be overloaded with turrets. Within about ten seconds of contact with the Dreadnaught my T2 shield was nearly wiped out (not a fault of the Valkyrie so much as a commentary on the over-powered nature of the Tovera...). I think that such a foe will require some new tactical thinking and a creative strategy... or a ship that just straight-up breaks the in-game artillery turret limits like Spanj's Gladiator (which is a BEAST).
