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.
