Wedge Sphere 27

    Wedge Sphere 27 v0.198.219

    The Wedge-Sphere is a combination ship that operates as a single unit (pickup and launch rails for center drone). Normally the two travel linked with crew and operations based mainly in the Wedge hull. However when needed the Drone-Sphere can be dropped and the AI system takes over for attacking enemy ships (up to 3 additional Drones can be added with a small logic change for launching)

    This ship is FAST. Jump Drive, Overdrive and a Push effect to increase acceleration. The Wedges main weapon is 2x Lock-on missiles with full Ion damage to destroy shields, it can move and fight will running full Radar Jamming.

    The Drone-27 is all damage and meant to be dropped and let the AI take over. Wedge knocks down the shield while jamming and the Drone take all the damage while drilling holes in the enemy. Best to drop the drone AFTER the enemy shields are depleted. the Drone using 4x High Speed Cannons with full Pierce effect.

    The finished interior of the Wedge offers a bidge, 2x cabins, cargo, UDP, engineering, weapons control and many more areas for good RP play. The ship has a remote launch for the drone which can be linked to 3 more UDP (from 3 more Drones) making the ship into a small carrier. It has enough power/thrust to this.

    Have a look around and take if for a test drive.

    I really like the ship itself since it has cool aesthetics and nice little control rooms all built around the main ship.

    However, it hemorrhages power just to move itself and fire its weapons. Not to mention there's gaps in the sphere's hull that should be patched up, and the docking module itself is fully exposed. If the power grid was reworked or some of the thrust was lowered, then it probably wouldn't run into the power problems.

    Has room to improve, but the cool factor is what keeps it in my catalog.

    Posted an updated version: Sphere render glitch fixed (wasn't holes, was the corner transparency problem). Power upped while thrust lowered. All other specs are pretty close to the same.
