CX Dauntless RE

Summary: Variant of The Dauntless by ArtemisRouge, but with missile+plasma loadout, and quality of life additions. I wasn't able to kill a dreadnought with the original as-is, so I made this one and confirmed that I can.

This craft is designed for constant roll-dodging 300-800m off the wings of a dreadnought to drop its shields and wipe out its turrets, then pummeling it into oblivion so you can salvage the Quantum Cores once defanged. Takes several engagements over the course of an hour in my experience, but this ship is certainly feasible to kill dreadnoughts solo without any quantum or auxiliary cores, even after they were increased in difficulty in April 2021. Don't forget to change missile targeting to include warp drive later on so it can't warp out!

Original: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2423906682

What's new vs original:

- Added more turret emplacements (and marked them up) for use when adding quantum cores
- 2 Flak, 9 Missile, 4 Laser, 14 Plasma (since my plasmas kept missing turrets)
- Replaced 3 x Heavy Missile Launcher with 3 x Heavy Laser Cannon (switching to 2x lsr and 1x msl also viable, but exceeds CPU)
- Added sentry gun to bottom boarding ramp
- Added armor locker, fridge, and weapons locker/armory box for your small arms/tools+ammo
- Added device groups by turret type and customized turret targeting
- Added signal groups for thrusters, turrets, fixed guns sentries, constructor, and long-range radar
- Added sensors for hangar, boarding ramp, and telepad (telepad not included)
- Added regular detector so you can disable Long-Range Radar during combat to save power
- Tweaked interior to allow space for 20 NPC crew to lower CPU usage
- Fixed a few minor block placements and tweaked textures

Suggested Tovera engagement tactic:

Flee if shield below 20%! Come in off its wingtips and dodge-roll while firing manual lasers and try to stay there, or at least level with its wings. Once its shields are down, take out rear flak first, grind down the turrets on each wing for a while, once its damage output is low, attack generators only. Once its dead in the water, blow up the nose and take out the core from there. Careful, as quantums are very near core.
