The factions of TTC wont have normal stations, they'll have this instead. A big mass driver built to cheaply transfer resources across a system, and be torn down within a cycle to be rebuilt elsewhere
Aside from the driver itself, The real fight will be the fleets that swarm around it at all times

I've made some stat adjustments to several of these and don't feel like individual showcases right now, so enjoy this funny build instead:

Also the IRPAL was feeling kind of bad and it wasnt until making these two that I figured out that the stat card was lying due to how I set these up, so I've revised its stat line and fixed its card

The IRPAL no longer stands alone in my upcomming Starsector Mod as the only phased array laser system available to the arsenal of Arkgneisis

Having been waffling on weapons for the last few days, I only just now counted the large VLS cells on this ship.
69 in total.
Unfortunately, since Arkarans count in base 5, they cannot make the joke.

Another detour for a funky little weapon.
The idea here is that the otherwise crazy strong stat line is mitigated by the beam speed, by the time the beam reaches its maximum range, about half of the burst has already elapsed.

4 Kidz got wacky with One Piece back in the day, given later events in the series One can only imagine how they would have survived trying to dub The show if they hadn't given up early

The middle part just keeps looking greeblier as I add various semi-functional bits and im here for it.

That said, this wouldnt be worth pursuing if it didn't include player interactivity. The trail is not invincible, and can be scattered with enough force. These systems will be barebones for 1.0, but I hope to eventually add many ways for the player help, or hurt, the trail. With consequences

Nicke has been getting the last major campaign systems implemented, including trackers for the Trail's progress and status to make things easy to keep tabs on for the player
The events currently are: Player Discovery, Public awareness, economic integration, economic detatchment, leaving the sector

A big reason I need to get this design out of my head is because I'm generally not enthusiastic by how most media does 'alien' spacecraft. It frequently tries to pursue visual language that wants to be whatever we wouldn't do and as a result seldom ends up looking very interesting to me.

If you're wondering, the last three are the result of hulls that are modified Domain-spec or built primarily out of wreckages thereof, and to the lizards, adopting a native designation seems proper over assigning one of their own.
