- Game version
- v0.199.654a
The Corvette version of the Manta is a reworking of the Red Black ship. The updated version has more detail and a much nicer overall shape (IMHO). The majority of the interior has been removed to make room for more systems. Most things on the ship are docked, the hull included. I don't like the docked hull but all of the turrets are internally docked and fixed. There are Six Beam Beam Ion 220/220/165 respectively. And Eight Missile Beam 300/150 vertical launch turrets. 4 of the Beam and 6 of the Missile turrets are selected target, and the remainder are set to fire at any.
Just turn on the Docked AI and point the ship at your selected target and it will start firing. There are also logic fired decoy missiles, there is a button in the hot bar for those. The missile turrets will fire 3 decoys with each volley but it is nice to have more decoys sometimes.
I am not a fan of the docked hull but with the 14 internally docked turrets there was no reason not to dock that as well.
Full overdrive and full ion protection. With a thrust to mass ratio of 2.2 this 5.7k ship can move out of the way of most dangers. The glowing thrusters are in the hull so I think you have to inherit thrust for that to work.
There are 11 AMS turrets with good coverage.
