The new missile cruiser!
+ Can fire a volley of more than 30 missiles in a very short time.
+ Amazing range.
+ Cloaking device.
- Weak hull.
- Not very fast.
- No turrets.

Looks good. Maybe 1 turret for defense against purplethings.

How big is it? Centaur size?

It's larger than the Centaur but smaller than the Cerberus. It moves as fast as the Hydra but accelerates twice as fast. It will have to be treated as a capital ship, which is why there needs to be one more cap ship slot... It will not receive any turrets, so it's up to you to assign an escort when in heavy combat. Anyway, its guidance system is able to track even "purplethings".  Price (TBD): ~40-60k |

The Crius bombarding an enemy, after sneaking up on it from behind.

The Crius can engage enemies in any direction.

Looks good. So will it automatically reload?

Glad you guys like it.  Yes, it reloads automatically, however, it reloads slower than it shoots. So if you shoot a lot, you will find that the firing rate will drop. If you wait a little, you can fire with the maximum rate again. |

Just wanted to mention that I added this ship based on the missile swarm idea for the Aegaeon by "lockon777". Currently the attack is only concentrated on the target you specify, but I think I'll add another attack mode that will allow the Crius to attack many different targets at once.  |

Multiple specific targets or just multiple splash damage against targets?

Basically you will provide an attack point and the cruiser will start targeting ships, turrets & aliens nearby. That should create quiet some confusion. I think manually inputting targets would be too much micro management.

Have it target larger ships first because otherwise if its spammed by purple things it might target all them.

Cool! I think it really isn't a problem that the ship might target lots of aliens, because exploding missiles will still affect nearby ships & turrets. The idea is to spread the effect over a wide area. |
