THIS SHIP REQUIRES HYPERSPACE AND WILL ONLY AFFECT EQUIPMENT/WEAPONS USED IN VANILLA FTL!
I'd like to present you one of the miracles of the technology known to humanity, The Spectrum Battleship!
This glowing, futuristic vessel was made with a unique approach aimed at reducing the effectiveness of energy weapons. Its hull was made of thousands of micromirrors that perfectly match the kaleidoscopic shields. It's weaponry is nothing to write home about yet, due to budget cuts, so the additional funds are to be found during your journey to the Sector 8, along with the crew. With defenses like these, however, you will observe the energy-based weapons just melt on the polished hull of this behemoth. With ability to oversaturate shields, you will find yourself blinding enemies with a cascade of colours, keeping their missiles off of you as well.
Special Abilities:
- Mirror Hull - All lasers and beams deal less system damage to your ship(-1). "Effect" beams like Fire Beam and Bio Beam have only 50% effectiveness.
Example: Bio Beam deals 60 damage to crew's health. Mirror hull will work like a prism, making Bio Beam deal only 30 damage. Fire beam's chance to set rooms on fire is halved.
Warning: Be aware that missile weapons are your weakness and your systems will take more damage from them(+1)! Avoid them at all costs so they don't break the fragile systems and hull.
- Kaleidoscopic Shielding - Shields regenerate 40% faster and the ship has 30% chance of resisting ion damage. Shield regeneration can be further upgraded by purchasing Shield Calibrators in stores, up to 70% shield recharge boost. Shield generator is heavy, so engines aren't as potent.
- Shoddy Weapons - weapons on this ship takes 20% more time to load.
Good luck, have fun and blind the Rebels into their own doom!

Don't hesitate to give me feedback about the ship, always helps!
Update: Ship now possesses a locked augment and lost a value point in shields. Speaking of shields, the image canvas was fixed to make calculating Cloaking easier.
