I would suggest replacing the PBO-175 Auto Helion Beams with Exterminator 95MeV Auto Helion Beams. The PBO-175 Auto Helion Beam actually has a lower firerate than what is shown in the UI, so the calculated DPS is only theoretical and can not be achieved in combat. In addition to a higher DPS the Exterminator 95MeV Auto Helion Beam also has higher battery power (so you can fire for around 30% longer before depleting) and you would gain some extra mass budget. There is a video on youtube showing this - just search for the terms "Allen's Project Auto Particle Beam Comparison". As you already run a C class reactor an even stronger build in my opionion would be an particle weapon turret build as turrets can usually pick up enemies at longer ranges than you and can target enemies in wider angles usually resulting in a better combat performance. Also turrets get boosted by the Particle Beam Weapon Sytems skill and the Automated Weapon Systems skill, so they tend to do more damage and recharge faster. Although manual aiming vs. turrets is more a personal preferance and might depend on if you like using targetting mode.
❤ I worked for hours on the exact project weeks ago but the best I could do was 3 of the 3015 engines😅 I also used the largest Ares bridge though! THANK YOU Ill try this out my next NG+🎉
You likely already know this, but just in case... Those bridges differ only by the amount of cargo they carry and it's an inefficient way to carry cargo.
Earned my subscription very smart build I'm only hitting 215 speed and used the same parts so I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong but the weapons are insanely quick and efficient 👍
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hear there is another potential crew member out there amongst the Settled Systems that could possibly provide a similar top speed bonus...
@@ShipTechnician yep just found a crew mate that's a "balst from the past" she works just as well as Sam minus the cargo bonus but I'm very fast now and keeping the UC safe 👍
So ... mass is maneuverability ~related~ and hull are kinna like hit points? Very efficient design. I was adding mass to my ships to increase hit points. I found that was wrong and I ended up with a stable of FAT ships. Thanks for you series of informative vids, S
This looks fun. I want a bed (for that 10% XP bonus), wonder how I can build this with a 2x1 Captain's Quarters instead of the 1x1, and maybe some cargo? Will that eat into the speed/mobility too much?

Love this type of utilitarian yet stylish build

Very nice! I'll build one tonight. Thanks for presenting it.🙂
Great channel! My new goto for ship builds, thank you!
Built it and use it often for fun kills., thanks.

Thanks! Regarding reaching a higher top speed, I’m curious if you have Sam on your crew?
@@ShipTechnician no he died tragically

Why tbe white dwarf 3015 not the 3030? 3015 just available at lower levels therefore more likely accessible to the viewer?
The White Dwarf 3015 has the highest top speed. Higher than the 3030, and higher than any other engine in the game
