I present to you my fleet submission for the official contest. From left to right, the ships are the Epithes Raider and the Epithes Ripper. As suicide bombers, they focus on speed with a 2.5 thrust to mass ratio and 50% overdrive. The warhead visible from the front extends along the length of the starboard side. Both ships are equipped with a basic jump drive capable of getting them into enemy territory, but lack the recharge rate to get them out. To help reduce the odds of high value targets escaping, the Epithes Raider is equipped with a logic-driven jump inhibitor.
Strengths:
- Mobility
- High top speed
- Bypasses shields
- Fortified cockpit window
Weaknesses:
- Manufactured primarily with inexpensive materials
- Focusing fire on starboard side can severely diminish explosive yield potential
