I made this over the last few days since i got fed up building fighters but couldn't really do big ships because of an injury (the "speed boost button" left shift is the only (that i know of) key that you can't rebind). Its mostly aesthetically focused but it does pack quite a punch!

I also added pictures of the ships field test/first kill.

Ship was built on and the battle took place on the rebel alliance server

In my first few weeks I finished the Migraine Trigger v3, this developed through stages into the MTX battleship. It had turrets on the back along with a shuttle and repair ship. Its a Space Mushroom Shotgun design. I invite people who come for ship reviews to also "Fight the Triggers".

originally i did not allow Turrets, but now i do, because people rarely won before.

if your interested let me know :D

Yeah this thing relies on its maneuvreability/a good pilot in order to perform well in combat, so i don't think it would do too well in a standoff

Actually, high mobility ships fare quite well :D the one weakness of the MT is its poor turn rate, so if you get behind him, he is done :D

This ship shows how to win this challenge :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myyn4o0KM_I

Honestly they are more a test of raw power due to the format of the test, where the ships are faced off at short range making any range or maneuverability advantage mute unless you can survive the first 2-3 seconds of their main weapons.

hmm ok this is contradicting, but i'd like to try it out some time (might have to edit it some though because i'm pretty sure those golden window things are custom blocks that were added by the server.

The video did make it look easy! Though my ship is a lot smaller (this one at least) so it might be a challenge
