This secret prototype Federation Battleship boasts the most advanced and hidden Federation technology.

So, I didn't really want to make another ship without oxygen, but I decided to do it anyway so the UI wouldn't be as broken. Perhaps I'll change it in the future. The concept of this ship is that it can only have the systems you see right now, although it can have 4 drones and weapons. It also has an Anti-Ship Battery as its main artillery ( the same one the rebels fire at you ), while the artillery on the sides fire mines every second. The mines are very numerous but rarely hit, although you can get lucky. Bigger ships will get hit more, smaller ones less. So basically it creates a minefield for the enemy ship, nothing too overpowered, and then you have your slow firing ASB. It also has a lot of potential with 4 weapon and drone slots, and with only the systems you see to upgrade, you will focus on those more. It also has advanced thrusters which allow it to FTL jump from a fight in 5 seconds and jump to any previously visited beacon.

The pros:

- No oxygen
- Crew can't die as long as med-bay is powered
- 4 drone and weapon slots
- Dual artillery on the sides which create a "minefield"
- Main artillery gun is an ASB
- 30 Hull, the standard
- 4 crew
- 2 power in doors, sensors and piloting
- 2 in engines and shields
- Can FTL jump almost instantly
- Can visit any previously visited beacon no matter the distance

The cons:

- Can't get any more systems ( don't bother buying them, waste of scrap )
- The mines are based on luck, the ASB is slow and you start with a dual laser ( still pretty good if you don't get very unlucky )
- Doesn't start out extremely strong in one field, it is up to you to decide what to with it
- Not really much else, it's still a pretty powerful ship


The only thing missing is custom gibs, I will add those in a later update. I even went through the pain of making sure it has the animated thrusters, which are blue to represent it lore wise.

First load Battleship Arsenal.ftl, then the other ships ( The pack includes all my ships as well as this one ) Download link:

Sorry for such a quick update, but this is important. I've changed it from no oxygen heals crew to adding the nano med-bay heal so fast that the crew can't die as long as it's powered. But that's the thing, if it gets damaged or you shut it off, your crew will start dying from a lack of oxygen. Also updated some other things in the other ships.
