Battle Nighthawk

[wilson356725]

Base Chassis( this gives you a Good Base to build upon)

1 DX-2 7 Cells
1 Scorp 3 Cells
1 Large ion cannon 10 Cells
(medium okay)

the last 20 Cells you should fill with shields, armour and as many Weapons as you can
(i don't have shields yet so add them in your own designs if you have)

4 Large lasers (personal Favourite)
or
7 Blasters
1 Scorp
1 SLIT
or
3 Large lasers
1 SLIT
1 ATSM
or
2 Scorp II
2 Large Laser
1 Blaster

You should tailor them to fit your most current tech that you can Beg,Buy,Borrow,or Steal.
So if you Don't have Ions Or Shields Ect... Just dump that Bit and Put some more Lasers/scorps on it.

Wilsion. These ideas are pretty good. The only thing that needs to be updated is that you need to always have ships with projectile weapons. Projectiles eat away at another ships hull extermely more quickly then lasers do, it could be the diffrence between winning a battle and loosing one.
