This is why most of my ships are pretty small. Whether I'm just turning a little to the side or pulling a "Crazy Ivan", I typically need a high turning speed to get the most fun out of my armaments.
As for the ship updating, I already had plans to give most of my UGPD ships an overhaul. I built the MK I versions before I fully understood the concept of efficient layouts. At the time, I didn't know that this:
█████
█░░░░
█░███
█░█░░
█░█░█
...produced more power than this:
█████
█████
█████
█████
█████
My only thoughts were, "Oh, I need more power? SPAM TEH REAKTORZ!!1!"
Perhaps after the update, I can swap out some of the current power blocks with some extra shielding and thrust; they could definitely use a little more of both! All I know is that, as my current designs stand, I don't think they would make fantastic shells...
You will? Thanks!
I plan on completing the UGPD fleet in the near future. I already have plans for an HQ/flagship, a prison hulk, and a fighter carrier. Just one minor problem: my USB mouse broke, and I need to buy a new one (but for a $5 mouse, it lasted several months longer than I expected).
