Interesting. I'd like to see an upgraded version go up against ZS-5 Zerstorer. Similar concept, different loadout. I like the configuration but why in the world do you need 216 machine guns!? Quite impressive for level 1, also.

Now that's a powerful DropShip. And it's fast too, which is what makes it good. I think that this might make a good anti-fighter DropShip, a WarShip escort perhaps.

The only downside is that it costs 2 billion c-bills. But then agaon, some things are expensive.

Of course it's expensive. It's frikking HUGE! Price was no object in my designing of this one, since it was just a testbed for an idea.

If you have enough money, and have a carpenter on hand to take care of the hull, then it really is a good ship.
