The fleet command wanted the usability of a new reactor type to be further examined.
In Order to run some tests, the entrusted engineering team reactivated a decommissioned athena class cruiser, the Elaine. The ship has been hastly refited and equipped with 12 reactors.
Altough the power level is very unstable and the cloaker deactivates after random times, the project shows high potential and may be the foundation for future stealth ships.
Notes:
- First: Sorry for this sloppy release, but i was simply too lazy to build a complete new ship for a concept demo and instead remodeled an older ship class of mine.
- After spawning the ship, the power beams of all 12 reactors have to be activated by hand. I had a few problem loading the ship with them online from the beginning.
- The power beams put the system under a lot of stress. If someone want's to try to improve and use this design i would advise to settle on something with two to four reactors.
- Since my PC is not all that powerfull, my ability to test a design is limited. It would be nice to know how the Elaine works by others. Especially wherever she gets invisible for other players aswell or only fools the AI.

Even with this setup one has to bargain over ervery single block. But it works somewhat.
Maybe i'll try to make a decent stealth ship with this, after my current projects.
