Crucible by Oneye (Rail Kite)

General setup:

  • A block of rails in the center
  • Thrusters on the sides and back
  • Shields in the front

Optional design choices

  • Mines are great at punishing fast approaching enemies.
  • Nukes and EMP should also be considered for their good utility.
  • Point defense is great on any kite since it will have more time to respond to enemy projectiles.
  • NRE can make the ships range even greater.

Piloting

  • Just kite the opponent. Just beware of asteroids and the ROD, because those can cost you the game if you do not turn early enough.
