The T.W. Gearworks (TWG) Crimson Maw is a sturdy salvage vessel with a large (filled) module space and compact RP compartment. The vessel was built with speed in mind and delivers with an enticing 3:1 thrust mass ratio and quick jump drive charge time.
Images of the TWG CM:
Salvage array is two stacked, offset waffle arrays that are 8 modules deep. The total number of groups is 2068 arranged in a semi-circular configuration backed by slaved cannons at nearly 1:1 (100% bonus).
For defense the TWG Crimson Maw is equipped with a single AI turret at the front end of the ship. The turret is not designed to achieve victory in a combat situation, but rather provide some amount of cover for the vessel to be able to escape the area. Then entire hull, except for the salvage array, hangar door and engines are layered in standard armor.
The ship also comes equipped with 6 Ladybug class shuttles. These diminutive vessels are useful for transferring from the ship to planetary surface or station that does not have appropriate docking facilities. Each Ladybug comes with it's own faction module, a storage container and a medical cabinet. They are however not terribly well suited for use on their own.
Num Blocks: 160,681
L: 81m, H: 52m, W: 75m
Thrust to Mass ratio: 3.01
Jump drive charge time: 17 seconds
HP: 11.36 million
Armor: 2.43 million
Sheilds: 61.76 thousand (run don't fight )
The power regen is sufficient for everything except for running the thrusters at full tilt, however the thrusters are less than a percentage point ahead of the power regen so a few seconds of letting up should correct the issue. (On a server with the drag effect removed the issue is non-existent).
Reviews are appreciated, thank you!
