Frigates
Aeith – Glass cannon gunship.
Ox MK.II – Imagine a Buffalo MK.II, but only frigate sized. About as threatening as you’d imagine.
Nemo – An Omen, but rather than an EMP emitter has a focus on fleet support.
Concierge – Lightweight PD oriented Frigate.
Concierge (P) – Pirate conversion that does away with fancy systems for missile spam.
Pilaster – Sort of like a monitor that can fire while its shield is up.
Tamerlane – Aggressive assault frigate.
Shkiper – A highly durable combat rated drone tender.
Dram Mk.= – Pirate engineering gone mad, although it actually has a somewhat potent missile system.
Hooligan – An engine with guns and armour bolted on, cheap and highly aggressive.
Vexilla – Reversed Centurion, but altered to mount a lot of missiles.
Lout – “Perfect” for the down on their luck captain on a budget!

Destroyers
Buffalo Mk.= – Cursed.
Rednus – Backwards Sunder, loses the large mount, but has effective options.
Susrat – Combat freighter / Carrier hybrid.
Susrat-S – As above, but also offers salvage bonuses.
Falconet L – Pirate hackjob, with a ballistic turret.
Falconet R – Pirate hackjob, with an energy turret.
Surebrec – Cheap destroyer.
Surebrec MK.II – It has a Large missile hardpoint, what more needs to be said.
Inimeg – Combat freighter, generally has to make the choice between PD or direct fire weapon capabilities.
Valkrie MK.II – Large ballistic turret, cruiser tier range, what’s not to love.
Cephalofoil – Missile hammerhead.
Portico – Shield-based Lineship, relatively light weapons load.
Scric – High-tech fire support vessel.
Foreman – A mining Enforcer, for when you’re unsure if you want to mine, or to kill.

Cruisers
Undertaking – Reversed and extended venture, more missiles, and swaps mining pods for a borer wing.
Undertaking (LP) – Pather Siege engine, packs a scary missile.
Gryphon (B) – Ballistic variant of the Gryphon, can be quite powerful.
Pteroma – Shield tanking cruiser, can pack quite a punch.
Sojurn – Lots of small energy mounts and a pair of heavy drones.
Dominatrix – Sister to the Dominator, an armoured frontline missile ship.
Saga – Missile support and a flight deck, but definitely not suited to front line combat.
Lily – Multi-use Autoforge… but only 3 small missile mounts, devastating if used to its strengths.

Capitals
Onquest – What you get if you jam half of an onslaught onto a conquest.
Spoiler: click to expand
Bounties

Weapons
Arpo MRM / Arpo MRM Pod – Cheap knockoff Harpoons.
Creeper Cluster Torpedo / Typhoon Creeper Launcher – Cheaper Reapers.
Flint Coilgun – Knockoff Railgun.
Gyro Micromissile Launcher – Cheap and Weak, but enduring anti fighter weapon.
Bearing Microrocket Rack – Weak but sustained light kinetic pressure.
Axle Microtorpedo Launcher – Lacks the power of a more standard torpedo, but has enough ammo to sustain longer engagements.
Mini Mining Blaster – Tiny and Inefficient, but a decent punch.
Spoiler: click to expand
Wings
Rumbler Heavy Interceptor – Knockoff Thunder, lacks any real EMP damage capabilties.
Khanda Support Fighter – Basically a flying point defense platform.
Aruval Support Drone – Rather cheap kinetic support fire, but completely lacking in survivability.
Kirpan Torpedo Bomber – A Khopesh that is better against heavy armour, more or less.
Urumi Heavy Fighter – A flying needler, devastating to shielded targets but falls short against armour.
Piranha (P) Missile Bomber – Even cheaper and less threatening than the standard Piranha, but can actually hit frigates.
Chivy Support Fighter – Simple point defense and disruption support.

Nice. Is it save game compatible from the previous version?
I think it should be savegame compatible.
Can’t think of anything i did that’d break savegames.

Note: I started a new game with this version and received the same crash.
This is some seriously backwards-ass nonsense… and I love it.

Check that you have version 0.5.1 and not 0.5
0.5.1 was a patch that fixes this specific issue
The latest patch fixed it thanks.
0.6 Update
Couple of new ships, some new weapons, should be savegame compatible.
fyi Mayasuran Navy already has a Gorgon SRM (rack and single, small missile). Not sure if its similar enough to warrant a change, but its there.
Didn’t realize mayasura also had a weapon called the gorgon, but after giving it a look, i think the weapons are different enough.
Mayasuran missile is a “conventional” missile, but my missile instead fires a blaster bolt on closing, something like an energy damage version of the Sabot.

A name change would be nice though please, so it’s easier to tell apart.
0.7.1 Update
New ships, 0.95 compatibility, and some other assorted changes.
0.7.1 adds:
“Compatibility Patch” for RC11
Aieth rarity slightly increased
I can’t wait for backwards Onslaught
Update 0.8
New ships, some fighters, some weapons.
Weapons now actually have costs assigned to them, previously had made a mistake and put an underscore where i should have put a space. (oops)
Update should be save compatible.
I can’t wait for backwards Onslaught
I have no intention of doing that to an onslaught, though i may have… other ideas, unsure i’f they’ll pan out though.
