kk I have a new way larger ship using the 8 weight strategy  I also put my core on steroids and multiplyied my AP by 10 and the hitpoints are x3

  Now I hope it works well...

  this ship makes good fodder doesn't it?

I used the design plan Afb gave me and came up with a cheaper ship model but just as effective as the old one.
