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.

Love this type of utilitarian yet stylish build

❤ 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+🎉

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.

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 👍

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?

Why tbe white dwarf 3015 not the 3030? 3015 just available at lower levels therefore more likely accessible to the viewer?
