General setup:

• Three layers: Armor, shields combined with thrust and the HE launchers at the back
• Missile modules are standardized.

Optional design choices

• The number of reactors can vary. 2 reactor is very well sustained but often struggles to fully utilize their full potential. The 1 reactor variants can fit more stuff, but have trouble sustaining their systems.
• EMP can help against heavy shield defenses.
• Mines help against faster enemies coming from behind
• Tractor beams can help utilize 2 reactors to the fullest and help against flanking attacks. They are also just generally a good utility tool to have.
• Especially 1 LR variants have a lot of space for backwards thrust which can be used to turn more quickly or to safe energy.

Piloting

• You of course want to orbit opponents when possible.
• Sometimes ramming can be advantageous, as the missiles will have an easy time hitting the vulnerable backside of the enemy.
