The next in the line of my collaboration with Anistuffs. In this one we wanted to show some love to things that often go unappreciated or unused. We decided this time we'd equip a ship with some boarding drones and create a weapon that fits the strategy. And so, after some long testing and retesting figuring out what works and what doesn't, (did you know a drone rec arm doesn't recover boarding drones ?) the Triquetra was born.

Strategy
So the ship relies on making use of that ion intruder drone and the light pierce laser. The light pierce laser is a weapon dealing 1 hull damage, 2 system damage and 30 crew damage, with the ability to pierce 1 shield layer. Consider it a heavy pierce with 1 less hull damage for 1 less power bar.
The pair works well together as the ion drone will draw a crowd to 1 room, stun them and leave. Leaving them open for a shot from the light pierce.
Getting a 4th bar in drone control allows you to use the ion intruder and 101010 (a 1 power version of the standard boarding drone) combined for more fun.
Other useful info
The ship replaces Engi A.
The 101010 can be used in blue events just like the standard boarding drone.
The ship has an artillery mount and weapon for those playing with Captains Edition, CE is required to use and buy the artillery but is otherwise not required to play with this ship. The artillery is weapon is the waveform artillery found on engi ships.
