Mining Cruiser - Astrea

Postby Luszor2 » Fri Mar 26, 2021 2:28 pm

Welcome! Haven't uploaded a ship for quite a while and it is time I've added something new! Today, a crimson worker from a distant galaxy comes to take what was taken from The Mothership.
Applause for M.M.P - Mobile Mining Platform!!!

This cruiser served as a worker, mining, moving and crushing asteroids in the deep nebulae to extract precious minerals and resources. Today, however, its various tools will serve a different purpose. They have found out - Flagship has the powerful core that needs to be taken and given back to the Mothership. A pact with the Federation was made - if they help taking down the Rebels, Federation will allow them to take the core of the monstrous vessel. And that's where you come in - the new captain of Astrea Miner, sent to rip the Flagship apart and mine it.

Pros:
- Ship's piloting is armored and has 40% chance of resisting damage, possibly used as last defense from losing ability to escape from asteroid fields when things got too hot.
- Equipped with mining tools of various perks and strength:
- "Spear" Beam - pierces defenses, breaches and deals severe damage to system in the room. Used previously to weaken tougher asteroids with hard insides,
- "Hammer" Beam - crushes hull with decent power, dealing blunt damage to max 3 rooms. Can do some damage to systems as well and due to its power, it penetrates one shield layer, used to break asteroids into
smaller pieces,
- "Sword" Beam - used previously for carefully cutting out ore patches, this beam has high length, is slow and deals one damage per room. Can take all ships apart provided there's no shield.
- "Fortress" or "Shield" Drone - advanced, small citadel that quickly destroys projectiles for reasonable power cost. Used presumably to keep away the asteroids from the ship and give shield time to recharge.
- On-board Furnace - Ship can melt wreck found on the field, allowing it to gain additional 20% scrap from all sources.

Cons:
- Beam weaponry requires some help in getting through shields, depending initially on "Spear" and "Hammer".
- Starts understaffed.

If you loved cutting and beaming with radiant lights, this is the ship for you! Good luck and have fun! Let me know in the comments if you do play it on youtube and all feedback is welcome.
