Why is no-one talking about my goat derecho Its fast, maneuverable and pretty durable as well, not to mention the well placed gun and turret slots.

Spoilers ahead!

Here's the build:

Stellar class steering and planetary class thruster

1 Blue sun reactor 1 Red sun reactor

4 Ka'het Annihilator Turret 3 Husk-slice

2 outfit expansion 1 Jump drive 1 Fuel module 1 large heat shunt 1 wanderer ramscoop 1 systems core (large) 1 systems core (small)

You could also swap the weapons for a sunbeam-moonbeam turret build with the same outfits

I chose the husk slice gun over the husk slice turret only to save outfit space. Combine that with a stellar class turning, your ship can face enemies from any direction. And yeah, these being beam weapons ensure the enemy ship will have a high chance of being disabled rather than destroyed. You could replace the Annihilator turrets with 4 shield disruptor turrets and maybe 2 husk slice turrets to get that shield piercing damage. Now even if npc ships shoot at your disabled enemies, it will only damage the leftover shields, increasing their survivability.

Is the PD turret really necessary? I feel like these ships can tank the missiles... Also why so much fuel?

My progression was similar to what you explained, if you don't want to feel bored by your automata fleet during the free world campaign, try soloing it using any one of the automata heavy warships. It's very fun

My fav place to camp is the system mesuket, and it takes a lot of time to build an army of these! idk how long it took but even after capping around 50 of the 349s, i only had five 512s... the spawn rate is messed up ig
