A big piece of advice is to use hot-block targeting - a lot of stronger craft are designed so that's less of an issue, but not much under 200k for any faction has a big counter to hot-block targeting

I'm new to the game, around 40 hrs in. Been watching people play this since Robbaz's foray with it several yrs back. I get lost watching my first APS cannon and missile system blow up small crafts, but I still have no idea how sturdy I should make my starter ships, and I'm still trying to get my head around on how to make them go beyond 10 m/s. Hopefully I could create a worthwhile ship (at least in newbie standards) that can circle around a Marauder's side. Thank you for the tips!

I like using PT boats (patrol torpedo) and airplanes. They are fast and can just spam and overwhelm an enemy ship

Don't underestimate wood for a cheap early craft! It's a great source for cheap hitpoints and can help your craft float. Cheap to repair too.

You don't want an all-wood craft but adding one layer of metal and four wood is cheaper than two layers of metal and/or alloy. And if you're starting with the default easy DWG campaign, three wood layers alone should stop at least one hit from most targets you encounter early on.

Another tip i find helpful is keep it small, as that keeps the cost down.
Might just be my personal obsession with the perfect tetris though

My starter craft is a hovercraft for 60k with 8 diff guns. Can one shot stuff for... even 120k cost

Personally, I modified the vanilla jet fighter by giving it 2 medium missiles, and replacing it's basic machine guns with one of the bigger simple weapon configurable APS guns with a small HEAT shell. 4 of them work quite well even into the endgame, with some fire support from nastier stuff.

For your craft, I think the spinblock response that controls the main propulsion orientation is a bit too strong, when they point 90deg, it ends up being a sitting duck.... Unless that's intentional? suddenly losing speed like that is bound to throw off non homing attacks.

Can we see an in-depth construction of this craft?

>It must be able to handle enemy Godly designs
Plunderer is a 'hard' design.

Can your Explorer beat 1 on 1?
