I've poked my first ship for quite a while, seeing what all I can do to it, adding this, moving that, removing these, self-destructing those...and I can't really be more happy with my progress.
Stage 1
This is the original version...ya know...the basic, nooby stuff...I was still learning how @chasinghorizon was building ships. It was also my highest rated ship until today.
Stage 2
At this point, I was borrowing guns from Chase, using them on the Ionium. some minor changes are found here, with a faster braking system...not reverse thrust, I'm still figuring that out...
Stage 3, or "Predawn"
This is the major changes made so far, smoothing of the design...extra details, slightly faster, more control...ish, XML modded parts for balance, and I think it has Infinite Fuel...can't remember.
So, who knows what I'll dish out next...just keep your eyes open.
