The Arcadian

The Arcadian ranges from a Core7, all the way to Maximum CPU Battleship. I am publishing it in an end-game configuration to highlight where everything goes in and on the ship.

The Arcadian is a Smartly armored Behemoth of a ship. Designed to Apply maximum firepower in the Tightest, toughest shape and configuration possible. Built with every attention to detail, this ship is first and foremost a Manual-fire juggernaut, mounting 8 Triple Plasma cannons, RIGHT AT EYE LEVEL. For accurate and intuitive manual weapon aiming. The ship is secondly a Side-attack & Ninja-attack ship, The Arcadian can go down to a 6 Targettable-block tall cconfiguration, which means this ship can fairly easily sweep in the blind spots of most enemy ships and live there, as it opens an absolute can on them, combine a Low profile w/ Eye-level manual weapons perfect for firing over another ships wing, and what do you get. You get a ship that kicks the absolute dog$&^t out of everything it encounters.

As a Core7, this ship will mount all 8 Heavy Manuals, move at full speeds in most directions, and has the armor and firepower to kill an ERADICATOR, WITHOUT USING A SHIELD. It is that sturdy. with nearly 3000 Xeno blocks, the ship is 2 thick on all sides, and over 20 layers thick at the front. The Arcadian features Wing-tip decoys to keep heat off your manual weapons, and a full Xeno wrap around them to protect from explosive damage. This is a ship designed to get down and dirty at close range, and it's got the armor to have confidence doing so.

The Arcadian can mount 40+ Turrets, including TWELVE Artillery mounts, If you view the video linked on this ship profile, you will see the combined firepower of all 12 Plasma Artillery + 20 Light Plasma + 8 Triple Heavy Manual plasma, it is truly spectacular in it's destructive potential. Is that my recommended loadout for this beast? No, but its hella fun and the default blueprint is designed to showcase the ships endless mounting possibilities and where those mounting points are. All of this ships mounting space is armored for any type of turret w/ any explosive force, without risk of chain reaction or substantial damage to other weapons.

I'm a modulated X-ray kinda guy myself, I suggest mounting as many of them as possible, with 16 Xrays only, this ship will easily defeat ANY opponent in the game. The Arcadian fits every Shield extender in the game, a Fusion core, Every CPU unit in the game, and still has significant extra armored spaces for Crew, constructors, and more.

This ship is a combination of ultra-effective weapon positioning for truly amazing manual weapon performance, slimline hard-to-target design, AND incredibly robust but efficient armoring. This is a ship that can do it all, it will fill any end-game role, mount any turret type, any weapon, and kill any opponent. It is an absolute win-button, and can even be spawned in as a Core7 w/ all 8 Manual Heavies + shield. This ship kicks a$$.
