Astaroth/HaMashhit Class Destroyer [Legacy] 0.199.535

fairly slow to make kills but quite safe doing so, very reliable damage delivery that can shred computers & rail parts quite well in combat due to good spread of AI beam damage. Would make a solid replacement for a faction warship and sits in a very powerful & pleasant mass range for player piloting.

Turret damage & outputs are decent but probably overly penetrative, more lateral damage using explosive outputs would help it deal more overall block damage. Ion damage could use improvement, missiles are strong but could use reload staggering for optimal block destruction, defences exceptional while shields hold, the sacrifices to armor were well thought out & fitting with the weapon loadout, perfect defensive effects for the ship.

Highly server/client friendly, looks pretty cool to boot, I like the Astaroth especially

would be a 5 for me, with a semi intrusive systems refit (cramming in more raw dps for a reduction in power and likely shield capacity) and modifications to turret outputs to increase block destruction & reduce total per tick power costs.

Next to your Cottonmouth, it's probably my favorite PvP tagged ship on the dock. Very worth downloads, server side use & dismantling for study.
