*** Ship ideas ***

Name: Cutter

Velocity: High

Acceleration: High

Turning rate: High

Primary weapon: high intensity double laser

Secondary weapon: temporary stealth

Recharge rate: Average

 

This ship uses stealth and speed to get close to the enemy. When primary weapon is activated the ship splits in half and high intensity laser is activated between the two halves. The longer primary weapon button is held, the farther ship separates and the less intensive laser gets.

Pros: Fast, stealth

Cons: Weak against ships using planets as shields - higher separation is required to encompass the whole planet during attack, resulting in a weak laser power + danger of colliding with the planet. Fragile?..
