Antietam Class Missile Cruiser

    Antietam Class Missile Cruiser Mark III

    I DL'd this ship a while ago and cannot give enough praise for the styling. I simply cannot have it in my fleet. Now that there's an updated version, I am overjoyed.
    I love the lighting placement in the hallways. It gives it a "forward" feeling and theme.
    Excellent ship !. Comparing to earlier version almost everything has been improved. Its very fast, very well defended, has very powerfull weapons (those missiles - one salvo takes down completly one isanth type zero in one shot - after it has been locked by warhead), dumbfire missiles are fast and demolish large portions of pirate bases when shields are down, main cannon is simply devastating (one shot, max two and targets shields are down). Theres 6 very powerfull missile batteries, 3 rail dock points with well placed cameras, and entrances just behind (with airlock of course), interior is beautifull and very functional at the same time. Ship has great RP value and also great PVP value too. Its relative small given its speed and combat abilities, and almost 300k shields recharge rate. Reactor power consumption in this ship is very well balanced given its devastating power. Faction module is hidden in creative way. Took me some time to figure out where it is, even if I know this author ideas for hiding faction modules from other his creations :D. Ship has jump drives and scanner also and well thought logic. What else I can say ? A must have on multiplayer sever, and SP also.

    Hey, there's another docking port you missed on the underside of the ship now, it swings into place with logic, so check the second or third hotbar for it. Also check out my new Madison Class Destroyer since you liked this build so much. http://starmadedock.net/content/madison-class-destroyer.3871/reviews#review-5073-668338
    Great ship. Fast, very well defended (those shields recharge stats are awesome), modern and interesting interior design, also decent exterior design - classic in some way, very good stats overall. What I plan to extend for my own fleet use is to add power reactor mdules. I must admit that docking points are planed in interesting way, functional both in design and in battle. What I like in this project is that its relatively small given its abilities. I've been looking for something like this for some time. It will surely be added to standard assets of my fleet.

    Thanks for the kind words, mate. I'm actually just working on refitting this thing with decent power recharge and scaling back the nuke. Since the update the power requirement for pulse missiles went WAY up, to the point where I needed 4 times the ships total power to even fire it. Check back in a week or so.
    Doesn't have much shape but the details make up for that, anyway great work, 10/10 would fly again.

    14/10 would read review again.
    I cant get enough of your ships man there just incredible though they do tend to have quite a few turrets.

    Thank you, friend!
    I really like the ship, nice exterior and interior, good stats (the turrets are somewhat weak for my taste though) all in all well deserving 5 stars

    I am very much appreciative, and certainly humbled by the praise of one of my favorite ship-wrights. Those turrets are strictly anti-missile,; and though they are weak, they each have 8 1:1 groups of cannon. That's 80 shots per second, per turret, which absolutely obliterates most reasonable missile barrages.
