Turns out that grazing hits from very light KKVs look really cool.

1.36 km long. About 144 thousand tons. Roughly 914 meters across from the tips of her radiators. More carbon than steel in there by a very long shot. The Crater class Drone Tenders are the heavy hitters of the Systems commonwealth. You like? Yes it's quite the ship! Could you post the design or the page with all the components listed? Glad you like her. I'll post a write up in the Fusion ships thread.

I got post likes from a couple of my heroes so here are some more of the Systems Commonwealth Navy's finest! Ravel, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff boost out of the Jupiter cloud tops. Svelte ships of just 3500 tonnes, they can push over 6g for as long as the crew can stand it. This made them the ideal choice for closing the trap on the retreating Republic fleet after their failed invasion of Mars. 26 Dec 2477. Crown Copyright.

My crew modules are lined with about 25mm of Boron, if that helps. However, here you go. Composer Class FF(G) in low orbit over Mars.

Unfortunately I arm my ships exclusively with missiles and lasers so they're not much fun to watch unless they hit something. Then my computer crashes.

The Dreadnought Robert E Lee, moments before she explodes just before Zulu dawn, 25th December 2477. Honestly as long as people keep liking this shit I'm gonna keep doing it so stop me when you're done.

Today I found that you can use spacers to create a gap between internal modules where you can slot in your blast launchers. This increases your length, but keeps your hull diameter from expanding too much. If done well, this reduces your cross section when compared with simply placing your blast launchers on top of your internal modules.
